Interview and Giveaway: Hell’s Mercenary by Luke West
What inspired you to become an author?
The fact that I can create anything or anyone that I
want. The industry has no rules.
Do you have a specific writing style?
I tend to always write in first person. I feel I can
connect with the reader better, allow them into that characters head to hear
whatever they are thinking.
Do you write in different genres?
I normally write anything with a bit of suspense. I
love anything supernatural/paranormal. I also like moving the reader to the
edge of the bed with a horror.
If yes which is your favorite genre to write?
It depends what mood I’m in. At the moment I’m
working on something really different, really obscure I guess you could say.
It’s a horror, but not a “scary” horror – it’s more of an unusual way of
thinking. The characters are gothic loners that are brought together by
attempting suicide at the same time. They are lonely people who build a unique
connection.
How did you come up with the title for your latest
book?
Hell’s Mercenary was actually called “The Devil’s
Assistant.” My editor and I came up with it over a Skype chat funnily enough.
Do you title the book first or wait until after it’s
complete?
Usually after the first few chapters I start
thinking of titles. Only because all of my saved documents have to be called insert
title here and that becomes quite annoying.
Is the book, characters, or any scenes based on a
true life experience, someone you know, or events in your own life?
The only character that is based on someone I know
is Ida – the Witch that lives deep within Hell’s forest. Certain elements of
her are based on my grandmother who passed away several years ago. I don’t know
if she would agree with the remaining elements :D
What books/authors have influenced your life?
Shirley Jackson – We have always lived in the
castle. Absolutely love her writing style and her unique view on different
scenarios.
Jodi Picoult – My Sisters Keeper. I know, I know,
it’s a “girly book” but I always remember it like it was the last book I read.
That has to mean something right?
If you had to choose, which writer would you
consider a mentor?
Shirley Jackson or J.K Rowling. Both magnificent
imaginations that I would love an invitation into.
What book are you reading now?
I’m reading The Farm by Emily Mckay.
What books are in your to read pile?
Dean Koontz – 77 Shadow Street.
Suzanne Collins – Book three of the Hunger Games
series.
A.A. Bell – Diamond Eyes
Do you have to travel much to do research for your
books?
Thanks to the wonderful world of the Internet, I can
travel the world without actually leaving my chair. I have visited some cRaZy websites
in my time.
Saying this, I have been to some deserted cemeteries
and ghost tours (I’m not a freak I promise) old buildings and secluded beaches.
I also love to people watch with a hot chocolate (once again not a freak I
promise).
Who designed the cover of your latest book?
My partner Jess is a Graphic Designer. She worked on
my cover for a long time, and completed several different photo manipulations
and lighting to pull it together. I was a picky client and she did a wonderful
job.
Do you have any advice for other writers?
Laugh in the face of people who tell you that you
can’t.
Don’t be embarrassed to be a writer, without us
imaginations would be non-existent.
Do you have a song or playlist (book soundtrack) that
you think represents this book?
I love the band Evanescence. Any track by them would
suit perfectly.

Book Description:
If you were faced with the abominable decision to die or kill a loved one to survive, would you be the honorable sacrifice?
Hell’s Mercenary. The Urban Fantasy novel from the Intervening World Chronicles, by up and coming author Luke West.
Tobias is the Devil – the ruler of Hell. For years he has banished the souls of innocent humans only to compliment his ruling status, but slowly things are starting to change.
Fewer souls are struggling down the elevator ride eventuating at Hell’s reception desk, yet heaven is reporting an influx of angel’s climbing the staircase into the clouds.
Tobias begins questioning the rules with his sister and rivalry – Constance – the leader of heaven.
When his inquiries go unanswered, he entrusts his assistant Arliah with a mission she simply cannot refuse, yet reluctantly accepts.
Her uncanny nature and gothic philosophy only cause havoc among Hell’s people, and their eyes slowly open as they begin noticing her continual departures through Hell’s gates and presumably into the beauty of heaven.
What Arliah soon comprehends is that the gates of heaven are located at the other end of Earth.
Earth – A deserted world: a place of patience, hope and misery. The only escape is to win the game; your target – the humans with the leading bounties.
Will her black magic connections lead her to the gates of heaven – a world believed to be the light at the end of the tunnel? Or will her newfound supernatural powers carve the third strike against her signed contract?
Her mission – find heaven, and once she does, bring it to Hell.

Extended Description
A Last Goodbye
New witch Marissa is learning the ropes of being one of The Others. One of her mentors is vampire Deirdre, a tall beauty who really irritates Marissa. Marissa is extremely pissed when she shows up to Dante's Ball and finds Deirdre there with Marissa's recent ex-boyfriend, Jeff. The one she was encouraged to break up with because of his humanity. Deirdre explains her reasons for bringing Jeff and offers to help Marissa say goodbye to him in a way none of them will ever forget
Overkill
Vanessa is tired of her boyfriend Simon’s promiscuous vampire ways and stakes him, repeatedly- not close enough to the heart to kill him but close enough to make it hurt. But now she’s had a change of heart and considers embracing the sexual world of the vampire instead of being jealous of it.
Witch in the Middle
Ariadne is a witch torn between two men, a vampire and a human. Her heart doesn’t want to choose but the men force her to make a decision that could break her heart, unless with the help of the Goddess all three of them can come to a mutually acceptable…and enjoyable agreement.
When It Storms
Devon’s witchy girlfriend becomes insatiable every time a storm rolls around and he’s more than happy to give her exactly what she needs.
Monster Inside
Shannon’s never seen her vampire boyfriend, Logan, vamp out before. Then one night he has to kill to save her life. Can she ever look at him the same way again?
The Questioning Concubine
Elita, a pure blood witch, has come home to find who or what killed her parents and to take her rightful place as the head of the coven. After five years of investigating and exhausting all conventional methods at her disposal, she decides to do the one thing a good witch should never do—summon a demon. The demon is not what she expected. Elita is soon swept up in his power… and her own.
Renata
The residents of the sleepy little town of Flushing, Michigan had no idea a vampire lived among them, seducing and drinking from all the men in town. Renata walked among them, blending in, taking only what she needed. One night, while she was on the prowl for fresh blood at a carnival, a handsome carnie caught her eye. She had no way of knowing he was a vampire hunter and was there for her.
Sea of Blood
Liana made Nerissa a vampire centuries ago in the islands of Greece but she’s never tired of her companion or the way she hunts her prey.
