Sarabeth Mason asked Gena Showalter:

I read your Lords of the Underworld series, I am currently reading Kanes story and it prompted my question. Why a butterfly and did you chose the tattos placement on each Lord on purpopse?

Gena Showalter Each of the Lords has a different theory about the butterflies. Beauty can conceal a beast, a way to humiliate, a reminder to hope -- something good can come from something ugly -- a mark of strength -- a caterpillar has to fight to emerge from the cocoon, and the harder the fight the stronger the butterfly -- even in the worst of times, you can find something beautiful if you look for it. A thousand other reasons :)

At first, I placed the tattoos wherever the cover happened to show them. After that, I began to place them where they best fit the character.

Merica asked Gena Showalter:

-since she's also back, will you be making a story for pandora as well? -will gilly and william get their own book soon, or will their story be inside other's books? (i'm asking because in another book series, (dragon kin series by g.a. aiken) one of the sisters had hers told as a side-story in several books.)

Cc asked Gena Showalter:

I didn't realize this question had to be about your new book so this is not a question about THE CLOSER YOU COME but about your LORDS OF THE UNDERWORLD series and I understand if you don't want to answer but I have to ask How far are you planning on going with the lords?
