It is with the greatest of
pleasures that I welcome Young Adult, historical fantasy/paranormal author, Kristin H Richards, on to the blog to talk about the
inspirations behind her book.
CREPUSCULAR:
Light In The Night
It begins in a small town in Canada
called Fort Smith. Were Lucy and her sister Lisa are living with their
Uncle Travis who adopted them when they were only one and three years old after
his sister Elvira the girls mother and there father Maccon suddenly
disappeared. Lucy is now eighteen and Lisa is sixteen and their lives are about to
change dramatically over night when they will find out the truth about who they
are and what they have become. Lucy falls in love with the new guy in town Nikolas
but she had no idea that Vampires existed. Then one of her childhood best
friend Ty who is a Werewolf comes back to town and sees Nikolas with her then
he thinks it's time to start protecting Lucy and tell her what he really thinks
of her. But that won't be as easy as he thought because when she fell in love
with Nikolas she woke up all the Demons and Nikolas had only one option and
that was to take here to Iceland in hope that the Vikings would help them find
her parents and fight with them when the time came Ty had made up his mind
about Nikolas and now they both had to protect her before she would change into
one of the dangers animal killer out there.
Author’s Inspiration
I am a big fantasy fan and somehow
fantasy comes easy to me. One night after I had been thinking about writing and
all my family members were asleep I sat down in my living room and opened up my
computer and began writing the first few words of the fantasy trilogy Crepuscular. I had no
idea were this fantasy world would take me but I just kept on writing, day and
night, night and day some how I just couldn't stop, it just flowed and
sometimes I was surprised that I had even written this story myself I enjoyed
every second of it. Everywhere I went I took down notes just going to the store
and seeing something that inspired me I wrote down, even though I didn't use it
in my story I wanted to have the opportunity to look at it if I could use it
somewhere, sometimes I used my notes and sometimes I didn't but I always had my
eyes open. I loved driving through and walking in the woods that's where my
fantasy level went straight to 100%. I had no trouble coming back home and
write a whole chapter but of course I had to read over every word I wrote and
sometimes I made changes but mostly I was very satisfied with what I had wrote.
It took me one year to write all of the three books and when I got to the end
of the story I felt a little sadness like I was saying goodbye to someone I really
cared about but I knew it was the right time to end it and I'm very pleased
with the ending. These book are for all ages older adults will equally
enjoy them as well. I know once people start reading they will want to
continue. These are YA fantasy were you'll be introduced to new creatures the
Dragon-Vampires, they have been in our world longer then the Vampires have and
only the Vikings and the Werewolves have known about there secret until now I
really loved creating the Dragon-Vampires and the whole plot with them and also
bringing the Vikings and the elves into the story made it something new and
exciting. I loved that I could have Iceland included in this adventure because we
don't have many fantasy story's with Vampires & Werewolves that are seen
in Iceland so it the perfect place for the adventure to continue from Canada. In Volume
2 Crepuscular The Magic Of The Sun's Rays they will take the adventure to some
new places that are very different from Canada and Iceland. If you are
into YA fantasy, romance and adventure you can't let this one slip your fingers
I heard from one of my readers that it was like the book came to life and it
was like watching a movie in your head. Welcome into the world of Crepuscular
and I hope you enjoy every bit of it. Kristin H Richards
