Lilly Gayle Author Interview

Out of the Darkness centers around a biochemist who meets a mysterious stranger with a rare genetic condition seeking both survival and redemption. Where did the idea for this book come from?

The original idea for this story came from an old Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, Universal Soldier, which gave me the idea of vampire soldiers, Dean Koontz’s Moonlight Bay Trilogy, which gave me the idea of incorporating a real medical condition, and a tangent I went on while researching XP that gave me the idea of making vampirism a virus.

What draws you to the paranormal genre?

The idea of the impossible being possible.

What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?

Redemption, survivor’s guilt, lost love, forgiveness, power and corruption, and the healing power of love.

Can we look forward to more work from you soon?
Absolutely.

What are you currently working on?

I’m currently working on edits for Embrace the Darkness, the second book in the Darkness Series, and completing the third book, Edge of Darkness.
