Thank you so much for having me on your site today. If anyone has questions, please feel free to ask! I love an open discussion :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you. I'm a big lover of mythology, and especially ancient Greece, so this book is right up my alley. Did you do much research for writing it?
DeleteHi Kayelle--
ReplyDeleteI do more research than writing it seems. I am a Wikipedia and library junkie! For this book I took several Greek myths and weaved them together to create the character Epione (who is really the goddess of soothing pain in greek mythology)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epione. For her staff, I used the image of the rod of Asclepius--a rod with healing power. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_of_Asclepius Though I admit I tweaked it a bit to make it work within the story.
I have a love for archeology so I had fun researching the eruption of Thera (in the prologue) and though it didn't get much time in the book it was one of the actions that set the story in motion. Great Question!
Good stories are born from details. The backstory of characters interests me -- and I love it when they are woven into the tale rather than dumped in one spot. ;) The kind of detail you mention makes this a much more interesting story.
