Interview with L. H. Davis, Author of Alien Apocalypse

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Alien Apocalypse?

Real life.

My grandparents lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so I visited often. I love the people and culture.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Alien Apocalypse, what would they be?

“We are Family” by Sister Sledge.

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Define Stephen King’s genre (we all know it’s not simply horror) and that’s my favorite. I enjoy writing in many genres including historical, YA, fantasy, Sci-Fi, and mystery.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

A Sci-Fi book called New Earth.

It’s a matter of when not if. Something (black hole, giant asteroid, etc.) will threaten Earth, and we will see it coming many years in advance. Our options are few, and leaving Earth is the only likely scenario where man continues to exist. This book explores that event.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

The scene where they explore the fish camp and meet the young lady, “Willow.” When she falls for Bryson, both Kayla and Becke are jealous of her, but they still have her back when the jacker attacks.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

Sorry, no. I treat it like a job.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Never give up.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

No matter how bad things get, life is still good and people can laugh.
