After a bit of footwork, I find myself in Atlanta, sitting in an apartment across a kitchen table from a shy-looking woman who is, actually, a bit on the ordinary side. Jeans, T-shirt, strong, attractive features, but there's nothing that shouts ANGEL about her. (I'd kind of been hoping for wings, but I guess they don't exactly blend. Apparently they are tucked away.)
Her voice is soft and eye contact fleeting as we get to know each other. But as she warms up and gets a little less self-concious through the interview, I see flashes of a brilliant lady getting the lay of the land in a new place.
KR: How did you meet your author?
S: I banged on the inside of her head until she agreed to write my story. At my nagging, she dropped another project to focus on me.
KR: Do you think your author is doing a good job of capturing who you are?
S: Absolutely. I'm not an easy person to get along with. I admit that I can be moody and bitter. My author doesn't seem to mind. She writes me just the way I am.
KR: What was your favorite scene in the book? Least favorite scene?
S: My favorite scene was when I visited a human bar. The bar owner had a beautiful, lopsided smile. He smelled like mint--fresh and earthy. I liked him.
My author has asked me not to discuss my least favorite scene. I
wouldn't normally take commands from her, but she promised to let me
stay out of Hell for a while if I agreed. She's on my bad side right
now.
KR: Are you hoping for a sequel?
S: I've already demanded a sequel. My author promised me that the next book will be longer. It's a bigger story and will take more pages to tell. I'll give you a hint: All those demons and monsters who escaped from Hell before me are tired of hiding. They're stronger and scarier than humans, and they won't be happy unless they're causing trouble.

KR: If you could change anything in the book, what would it be?
S: I'd make the big decisions faster. Going from Hell to Earth was a tough transition. In Hell, I learned to accept the bad stuff because that's all there was. I had a hard time breaking out of that pattern when I got to Earth. People got hurt as a result. I didn't want that.

KR: What's your favorite food?
S: Bacon! So crispy and greasy. I don't know what Heaven is like, but I bet there's bacon there.
S: I don't know who would do my voice, but I'd like Megalyn Echikunwoke (http://www.imdb.com/name/
KR: Now that the book is done, what's next for you?
S: Bacon! So crispy and greasy. I don't know what Heaven is like, but I bet there's bacon there.
KR: You and me both, Six. So, If they ever make a movie of your book, who is playing you? If there is ever an audiobook, who do you want to do your voice?
KR: Now that the book is done, what's next for you?
S: Look out for the sequel. I'll continue to find my role on Earth and
discover who I want to be. And of course, I'll be fighting bad guys!
We wrap our conversation, and I head back out into the Atlanta summer. I wonder briefly if part of the appeal of Atlanta to Six is the heat, does it feel somewhat familiar to her, but don't turn around to ask.
Thanks so much for the post, Keryl!
