Julia Taylor works as a recruitment consultant for Paranormal Personnel in London. Her days at work seem normal, she sees clients that regularly are looking for work, she source new vacancies, updates CV and visits employers.
Everything is pretty ordinary for her, apart from the fact that Julia is half elf and Paranormal Personnel is not an ordinary agency at all because all jobless supernatural creatures come to the agency to look for work. Fairies, vampires, witches, hags, wizards, mermaids, elves, giants and trolls, they all need to find employment and during this economic climate this seems pretty challenging.
Julia doesn’t want her life to be complicated but when her day is interrupted by the shape shifter with the chain saw; she just has to deal with him as she always does. She is normally calm, confident and is not afraid to stand up for herself but when the meeting with Nathaniel’s Corporation goes not as well as she expected she wants to bury herself under the ground and die.
Then Mr. La Caz gets under her skin, lights up a fire inside her, she accidently reads his thoughts and learns that he craves for her, he wants to suck her dry but she is convinced that he is not even a vampire.
Q) What inspired you to write this story?
Currently I still work as an employment advisor for a private welfare organization. We always have morning meetings before 9 o’clock. During one very dull meeting, which was about self employment, I completely switched off and started thinking about really random stuff. Suddenly I had this idea in my head, what if I can write a book about the recruitment agency for all the supernatural creatures? When I left the room all these images started coming to me and I knew that I had to start writing it straight away.
Q) How long did it take you to write?
I thought it would take me a few months to write this story but just after a month the books was ready. I really enjoyed writing £6.19 per Witching hour.
Q) What is your favorite thing about writing?
That I can create my own world and decide what is going to happen to my characters.
Q) What is your least favorite thing about writing?
That I have to keep writing even if I don’t want to and I have million others things to do.
Q) If you could be any famous person for one day, who would you be and why?
