Interview with Jennifer L. Armentrout

Interview with Jennifer L. Armentrout

Where did you get the inspiration for the Lux series?

I was actually asked if I'd be interested in writing about aliens in high school. At first I laughed, because seriously, aliens in high school? But the more I thought about it, the more interested I got. I didn't want my aliens to be typical of what was already seen and oddly enough, jelly fish were what started the whole idea of Luxens.

If you had to name one song for Obsidian or for the Lux series, what would it be? 

I'd have to go with ET by Katy Perry.

How did you celebrate the sale of your first book? 

I think I went out to this really nice Japanese steakhouse.

What advice would you give to aspiring authors? 

To never give up. Publishing is a hard, hard business. You have to stick with it.

What is a fun, random fact about yourself that most people don't know? 

I've never ate apple pie before. Don't judge. It just looks gross.
