Interview with Low Red Moon author, Ivy Devlin


Today we are excited to have Ivy Devlin, author of Low Red Moon visiting with us. Here's a synopsis of her book:

Her parents are dead. She can't remember what happened. And now she's in love with the most dangerous creature in the forest.

The only think Avery Hood can remember about the night her parents died is that she saw silver-deadly silver, moving inhumanly fast. As much as she wants to remember who killed them, she can't, and there's nothing left to do but try to piece her life back together.

Then Avery meets the new boy in school-Ben, mysterious and beautiful, with whom she feels a connection like nothing she's ever experienced. Ben is a werewolf, but Avery trust him-at first. Then she sees that sometimes his eyes flash an inhuman silver. And she learns that she's not the only one who can't remember the night her parents died.

Part murder mystery, part grief narrative, and part heart-stopping, headlong romance,Low Red Moon is a must read for teen paranormal fans. A powerful YA voice makers her debut with this breathless, spooky novel- a book to be devoured in on sitting. (taken from book's back cover).

I am a huge wolf girl fan and really enjoyed reading Low Red Moon. What do you find most fascinating about your wolves?
Well, Ben is really cute :-) But aside from that, I really liked being able to make up my own werewolf mythology.

I really loved the the setting and that The Forest was it's own character in Low Red Moon. What inspired you to create such a unique character?
Total accident! I knew the forest would play a role in the book--since the story was inspired by Little Red Riding Hood, how could it not?--but it wasn't until I started writing that I realized the forest was going to play a much, much bigger role in the book. And in Avery's life!

I liked getting to know Avery's Grandmother. What did you most admire about her character?
I love Renee! I guess if I had to pick one thing I like best, it would be how strong she is.

I loved the connection Avery has with the forest. What inspired you to write about that connection?
Again, total accident--when I first wrote certain spoilery bits, I thought, what is this? But I figured I'd just go for it. And I'm really glad I did because I thought it added a lot to Avery.

Are there any paranormal books you've read recently that you're recommend we pick up and read?
I'm a huge fan of Melissa de la Cruz's Blue Bloods series--in fact, if I ever get through my current deadline, I've got her latest waiting for me to read! I also like Cassie Clare's books a lot.
