GUEST POST
How did you come up with the concept and characters for the book?
To do a little backtracking, since this
is the third book in the series, the idea for the first book, Of
Cinder and Bone, came from two things: (1) the laughably awful but
intriguing movie Reign of Fire (2002) and (2) a dream that I had
about three people—two girls, and a guy—sleeping in a bed
together, and all three of them were in a relationship with each
other.
Reign of Fire was just a jumping off
point. I originally conceptualized Of Cinder and Bone as a
post-apocalyptic story about a widower and his daughter hunting
dragons, but that is so not what happened. I opened a Word document
and something entirely different popped out, and I ended up liking it
a lot more than the original idea. I thought that it was much more
interesting to integrate dragons into the modern world than to let
them have already destroyed it and have a very dark, gritty story
about grief and survival.
As for the characters, it’s so odd
that just an image from a dream created Jack, Kamala, and Faye. The
most I remember was waking up and thinking that I’d love to tackle
a truly loving, mature polygamous relationship, and their
personalities just came to me after a point. I joke that Jack is
basically if Harry Dresden and I had a kid, and he was super into
science. Kamala was inspired by Dr. Neela Rasgotra from the hit show
ER. Faye was inspired by Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop (1997). The
characters you’re going to meet for the first time (minor spoilers)
like Bruce Calloway, Libby Calloway, and Agent Shannon are also based
on different people. Calloway was inspired by the hilarious and
talented actor Anthony Mackie; Libby was inspired by Maxine Gibson
from Batman Beyond (1999); Agent Shannon was inspired by Colonel
Richard Strickland from The Shape of Water (2017). I often have
jumping off points based on fiction I truly enjoyed and want to run
with a concept or physicality from a character.
