Three
Things You Didn't Know About Shadow Fire
1) Shadow Fire
started out as a "Choose Your Fate" novel. In the beginning Ashlyn
got to choose between two wickedly hot mercenaries to escort her on her quest.
As the story progressed, I had so much sadistic fun torturing and killing the
characters in creative ways. But once the manuscript reached 180,000 words and
had so many convoluted plot lines it looked like an inner city road map, I had
to scrap the idea. But don't worry—the sexy mercenary I dropped from Shadow Fire has a starring role in the
second book, Stolen Moon coming
August 2014.
2) I started writing Shadow
Fire several months before the hype about The Hunger Games began. After reading the book and seeing the
movie, I worried readers might think Ashlyn was too similar to Katniss. I
decided to rewrite Ashlyn's background and took away her years of hunting,
along with her amazing archery skills. But that was such an integral part of
who Ashlyn was, and the story fell flat without it. So I went back to the
original. Really, archery skills and determination are the only things Katniss
and Ashlyn have in common.
3) The pirate, Taranis, was not in the original outline or
planned in any way. Frankly I don't know what happened. The fool popped into my
head one day and wouldn't shut up. I ended up writing him in about two thirds
of the way through the novel. In the end, he turned out to be one of my
favorite characters. He will star in the Light
Chronicles 1.5 and will have a featured role in Light Chronicles 3.
