Buffy Stuff | Interviews
Jeff Mariotte and Nancy Holder

Jeff Mariotte and Nancy HolderThe authors of Buffy and Angel books too numerous to mention discuss their work.

Discover more about troublesome trilogies, ballet and zombie cowboys.


Buffy, books and ballet
  How did you both become professional writers, ultimately working on the Buffy and Angel ranges?

Writing together
  Describe your working relationship - who does what, and is it all done by email?

Dark Secrets
  As writers of The Watcher's Guide and Angel Case files, was it hard to prise all those dark secrets from the cast and crew?

The trouble with trilogies
  Are the trilogy books you have co-written something that you found enjoyable, or is it difficult to sustain that kind of plot with a tie-in?

Gotta have Faith
  Your last novel, Endangered Species, featured a spectacular return for Faith. Was her return something you wanted, or a suggestion by the publishers?

Buffy or Angel?
  What are the pros and cons of writing Buffy as opposed to Angel? Which of the two formats/character combinations is of the most interest to you as writers?

The Longest Night
  This month, you tackle short stories in the Angel anthology The Longest Night. Tell us what we can expect from the book, and your stories in particular.

Immortal
  Do you think Buffy and Angel will live on through the books long after the shows end?

Zombie Cowboys
  Have you ever had Buffy proposals turned down since you became established writers for the ranges?

Slaying Games
  Authors Chris Golden and Tom Sniegoski recently scripted the Buffy computer game. Would working in that kind of interactive medium appeal to you?

Other Works
  For people looking to explore your other work, what would you recommend to them?

The Future
  We hear a third volume of The Watcher's guide is planned for late next year. Will you and Maryelizabeth be involved with that, or another volume of the Angel Case files perhaps?
