Hi Mary thanks for liking my books. My work is more like "slow food", I spend a lot of time in development but the result is quite addictive :) I just finished the first draft of VENGEANCE DELAYED, the final book in the VENGEANCE DEMONS series. Don't worry, I'm starting another series with the same characters 12 years later. Check out my other series, LADY SLAYALOT. Also consider joining my newsletter list and/or book club (see louisalo.com for details. I provide a lot of exclusive behind-the-scene stuff that might interest you :)

The inspiration is always there. The trick is to resist the temptation to NOT write.

Funny how when life gives you lemons, you just have to write a book about how to make lemonade.
A few years ago a series of bad things happened in my life. Rather than going into details, let’s just say that one after another people who were in the position to cause a lot of harm through negligence, did. Now in each of these occurrences, if I’d chosen to engage in legal battles, I had a fair chance of having the wrong righted. However, when taken as a perfect storm, I basically had the choice of losing myself in the pursuit of justice, or surviving the serial ordeal itself. I chose to let go. I chose my family. I chose love over hate.
It was one of the hardest things I’d ever done, and for months after I had a lot of trouble with insomnia. Revenge fantasies ran rampant. It was then that I realize that in my heart of hearts, I hadn’t truly let go. Not wanting to have this blinding anger consuming me for the rest of my days, I knew I had to do something.
So I did.
I created a fictional world where justice is being served in a systematic way, and a young girl dreams of getting certified as a vengeance demon while facing injustices of her own. So you see, VENGEANCE BE MINE is not only a labor of love. It is a product of my effort not to turn into a bitter old woman. And it worked. If you’ve experienced unfairness in your life. If you prefer to laugh rather than brood. Then this book is for you.
