Writer: Kira Snyder
Books: The Parish Mail Series
We are super excited to have author, game designer, playwright and TV Writer Kira Snyder here today to discuss her new YA urban fantasy book series The Parish Mail. Some of her work you may be familiar with include TV Shows Moonlight, Eureka, Alphas and the upcoming CW series The 100 on top of the Electronic Arts online game Majestic. So let's get right to it!
We have to ask. You co-wrote what turned out to be the series finale of Moonlight(no secret this is one of our favorite shows here and we miss it). Can you talk a little about your experience on Moonlight and also that final scene between Mick and Beth? What do you think would have happened next?
I’m always so thrilled and touched to hear how much people love Moonlight -- I do too. It was my first TV writing job, and holds a special place in my heart. I’m still friends with people I worked with on the show. It was such a gift, getting to be in a writers’ room for the first time, and then head across the Warner Brothers lot to where the show filmed and see the stories come to life. (inside scoop for fans: scenes from Moonlight were shot not just on our sets but also the sets of Cold Case, Pushing Daisies, and The Sarah Connor Chronicles.)
Ah, what happened after Beth’s apartment door closed at the end of the finale… feel free to use your imagination! We certainly did. We always figured that at some point Mick would turn Beth, but there would have been many escapades before and after that.
For example, the list of names that Benjamin Talbot receives was from an ancient society of vampire hunters who want to recruit him. Trouble for Mick!
Ethan Erwin, my co-writer on the finale, and I always liked one particular sequence for the very end of the series if it had gone on longer: Mick and Beth are having one of their sweet, bantery scenes at sunset on his rooftop, when suddenly a hovercar races by in midair, chased by a cop-hovercar, sirens wailing… We realize that we’re in the far future, and that Beth’s now a vampire too. The immortal pair leap off the building into nighttime Los Angeles, off to save (or drain) lives, on an endless adventure together.
