(view spoiler)[Why don't the gods just put a useful curse on the Malachai, like "Turn to stone between every full moon"? (hide spoiler)]
Sherrilyn Kenyon
Curses don't always work the way you think they will. Whatever you put out into the universe carries a cost. Especially when it's a curse, as you've seen in the series time and again. Again, it's a transfer of energy. It comes from some place and it goes into another. Even the strongest of them can't always control exactly how it plays out as there are so many variables in motion. They have tried to contain him, but he does grow stronger and he is extremely powerful and is a god himself. So they have to be careful as they don't know how exactly their magick will rebound when it zaps him because he's not a regular demon or a human. He is of the source, too and is older than dirt, with both light and dark powers he can call on. They're trying to prevent a war with the Malachai not call him out. Hugs!

My friend who's a cross between Styxx and Acheron showed me your work. Styxx was the first of your books I read. I can get bored easily with books. Styxx made me cry at page 10, your characters are so gritty & real. I was so emotionally invested in Styxx that every awful thing was a kick in the gut. It's beautiful! What inspires these ornery yet lovable characters? What made you want to write? You're an inspiration!

What made you and Dianna Love split? Why are you no longer co-writing the Belador series?

Hi Sherrilyn, greetings from a new fan of the Dark Hunter series from China! :) It is amazing how you manage to put something this original and powerful together - my question is, do you ever get "lost" while creating the entire framework of the series? How do you deal with your writer's block (if any) in terms of creating the background of the stories?
