Afterword
When I sat down to plan this book, I had a pretty rough idea of what I wanted to do—Lucifer returning to Hell. That was where we left him off at the end of the last book, after all.
But then I asked myself a question that really helped form the foundation of this story—what if Lucifer didn’t want to go back? And that seemed to fit with his character. Lucifer as I’ve been writing him has been evading responsibility pretty much his entire life. And even though he’s realized he needs to take more responsibility for his actions, there’s always that push and pull between what you know you should do and what you actually want to do.
So I came up with the idea of Lucifer’s lack of responsibility coming back to haunt him. This also gave me the opportunity to pick up on another character introduced in the Luther Cross books—and that’s Raum. In the larger scheme of things, he was a minor character when he appeared. But he seemed to be the perfect fit for this story.
I’m very happy with the way this book turned out. I feel like this book especially marks a huge turning point in Lucifer’s development. And I’m excited to see just where the character will go in the next book.
That book is on its way. The gears in my head are already turning for what will be called Lucifer Judged. See you then!
