The Story Behind the Story
As an avid reader of fantasy
novels „Creatures of Fire“ is my first attempt at writing a fantasy novel
myself. Reading fantasy lets me escape into different worlds, explore foreign
characters and talents that are not common in our world, which is why I love this
genre so much.
Ever since the idea formed in my
head, I wanted to create a world of my own, so I began researching mysterious
beings from fairy tales and myths. It didn’t take me long to discover fire
demons and to be fascinated by them.
According to myth, fire demons
come into our world to avenge murder. Focussed on their mission they are
impartial, with a deep seated sense of honor and duty. While researching these
creatures, Alexander, one of the main characters of “Creatures of Fire”, entered my thoughts. He
began to tell his story: How he came into this world with the sole purpose of
avenging murders. How he began to discover his love of ancient artifacts and
art. How he led a life withdrawn from humans but also in the midst of their
presence. Not much later Sariel joined him, telling how her parents were killed
in an accident, how loneliness and sadness engulfed her ever since the tragedy.
But then she met
Alexander.
What set out as a love interest
developed into something different. Something far more dangerous and
mysterious. Fate threw them into situations where they were forced to fight for
their believes.
As happens so often, Alexander
and Sariel told the story, not me. While writing the book I didn’t know what
would happen next and how they would overcome the obstacles that were in their
paths. And then they led me into the ancient, fascinating world of the demons –
Dschinnanya. A place where nothing stays the same, where changes are the only
constant and where no one can be trusted.
Writing this story was an
adventure in itself and an experience I wouldn’t want to miss. Currently I am
working on part 2 of the series, which promises to lead me and the reader
further into the world of the demons and will feature more of the characters
readers have come to love.
