Having always been fascinated by legends and stories surrounding Satan’s biblical fall from grace, I hope you’ll enjoy reading a new version of this age-old story from a different perspective, that of the arrogant fallen angel whose lust for the flesh led him to defy his Creator. Tales of the Devil exist in almost every culture, with the battle of good vs. evil often reduced to horns vs. wings and pitchforks vs. harps. Somehow I tend to think that it’s a lot more complicated than that.
Huge thanks, once again, to Erika Tsang and all the great folks at Avon HarperCollins and the Jane Rotrosen Agency, and to everyone who asked to read more about the wickedly complex character of Sammy Divine.
Special thanks to Jyrki Linnankivi and Finnish rockers The 69 Eyes, who not only provided some of the inspiration for this novel, but are living proof that good guys can wear black.
