Q&A With Jodie Pierce
1. Who is the Vampire Queen, and what makes her powerful?
She is the main character in my trilogy. She is THE ancient vampire who goes through this cycle of resting for centuries but when she awakens, she has to relearn everything she once knew. She keeps people around her who are supposed to help her with this but each time she has to be weary that the ‘others’ or evil vampires have not got to her consorts and turned them in order to get to her. She is like a child at first but when she gain her powers and knowledge back she can be arrogant, demanding yet loving and kind. She’s just a ball of emotions. Some love her and some hate her.
2. Tell us about the school she rules over, what’s it like to be there, and why some fear it?
The kids fear it because she knows all and hears all. She rules with an iron fist and can be very mean at times. It’s a school where these ‘different’ children learn all about themselves, their powers, their existences, etc. It’s a school in Scotland, a great location but far from other places.
3. Why are vampires and witches at odds with each other?
They’re not really at odds except that the witches want their Queen to be the Queen who rules the school, not the Vampire Queen.
4. What do you think readers will appreciate most about Demise of the Vampire Queen?
The use of the many different fantasy characters and the reunion of some of book 1’s characters.
5. You said your time in Brazil as an exchange student influenced your storytelling. How so?
I can actually speak about a foreign country and have a reference point. I’ve learned about a culture other than ours. I use a lot of my memories from Brasil in my stories.
Thank you, Jodie! I’ll add the links to where readers can find you online.
