Here now is the final part of my interview with the one and only Tom Sniegoski.

THE FALLEN

LW: In THE FALLEN, you brought the myth of the nephilim (the offspring of immortal angels and mortal women) into modern day. This quartet of novels has been turned into a series of movies, the first of which will air on ABC Family tonight, Sunday, July 23rd. Congratulations! How did that deal come to pass?

TOM: I owe that entire deal to my Hollywood manger types Pete Donaldson and Jay Sanders. They loved the books and shopped them around to anybody who cared to look at them. Finally they were snatched up by the good folks over at ABC Family.

LW: How does the film differ from the novels?

TOM: There are some major differences. For one thing, the film isn't as violent as the books. It's ABC Family, for Pete's sake! So the violence is turned down some. The lead bad guy is played by a woman instead of a man. Hmmm, there are other things, but I really don't see them as being all that important. The movie exists, and so do the books. There's room enough for both.


You heard it here first! There will be a special reprint of Book One: Fallen. The tentative release date is late September. Book Two: Leviathan, Book Three: Aerie and Book Four: Reckoning should be available again in September. Shocklines will have a four book autographed bundle available that will ship in October. For the latest news, please visit the website for the books.
