Five Questions With Lee Wilson, Author of "The Last Hybrid: Bloodline of Angels"

It's always fun whenever a friend has a novel out, and this is Lee Wilson's first, The Last Hybrid: Bloodline of Angels.

Described as a "paranormal romance," he says it'll help feel the void that Twilight has left behind.

Now with no further adieu, get to know Lee and what inspires his writing...

Tell me a little bit about your novel. How did the idea come about and how long did you work on the manuscript?

Lee Wilson: The Last Hybrid: Bloodline of Angels is about a girl named Hannah who is returning to college with the intention of actually applying herself this time. In the past, she lost her academic scholarship because of excessive partying. Naturally, she's convinced this time will be different, well, unless she falls in love with a sexy, half-angel, vampire-fighting blond named Daniel. But what are the odds of that?

The idea came from a dream I had as a teenager. At youth group we had talked about a Bible passage where angels had children with human women. I started thinking about what that would be like and had a dream about it. Several of the characters and situations that are now in the book were in that dream.

Who are some of your literary influences and what book have you read lately that's rocked your world?

Wilson: Carl Deuker, J.R.R. Tolkien, Ben Mezrich, Stephenie Meyer and Anne Rice.

Rumor has it, you're an actor, too. How do you fit writing in with all that's going on? Where can people see your acting work?

Wilson: I see them fitting together well. Both are telling stories. My acting work is mostly in TV pilots that are held up in network considerations at the moment and SAG films that are still in festivals. Then there are music videos of Alan Jackson, Brandi Carlile and others that probably shouldn't be considered acting.

Are you an avid social networker? Where can people keep up with what's going on with you, and where's the best place to order your novel?

Wilson: I'm on Twitter and Facebook. The Last Hybrid can be ordered on Amazon.

What's next in your writing pipeline? Is there a sequel in the works?

Wilson: The sequel is in the works for sure. Two of them. News and updates on that are at http://www.TheLastHybrid.com. The sequel also came to me in a dream. Kind of spooky when you think about it!
