Interview - John Levitt!
John Levitt's first urban fantasy hits the shelves this month (you can see his awesome cover listed on the sidebar of the community), and so I thought I'd give him a quick interview.
Here's a sampling:
So John, what's the premise of DOG DAYS?
That there are those among us who have special talents, who are practitioners of magic. Most people are unaware of their existence, but it's not a true "secret society," just very much below the radar. Mason, a jazz musician who has mostly abandoned magic, is forced to come out of his self imposed retirement when he and friends become targeted by unknown enemies. Bad things happen. In the end, Mason solves the mystery and of course, saves his own ass as well.
His companion, Lou, is a small dog -- only not exactly a dog. A few practitioners have magical companions who take the shape of small animals, usually cats or dogs. Lou can't talk or transform himself or actually do anything "magical," but he does occasionally save Mason's bacon. Which is his favorite snack. He basically steals every scene in the book.
The hot guy on your cover. Is it just me, or does he resemble Constantine Maroulis from American Idol?
You're not the first to say that. What a horrible thought. Johnny Depp, maybe.

Thanks John!
