Author’s Inspiration Behind The Warrior Prophet
The Warrior Prophet is the third and final
book in The Watcher saga, so it’s
difficult to talk about what inspired one without a little background on the
others since it grew from the seeds of the first book in the series, The Watcher.
Inspiration
for the series came from an idea I had for a story almost a decade ago. I
wanted to look at our innate abilities as human beings and then expand on that.
The idea came to me about a boy who wakes up to discover he’s an angel. But
telling it from his perspective seemed too much like a superhero tale, and
though superhero stories are great, they weren’t the kind of story I wanted to
tell. I tried, but couldn’t make him relatable enough as a main character. It
wasn’t until the character of Mia came to me, a girl whom he’d loved in a past
life and had to face now in order to recover from his own past, did their story
come to life.
I’d
studied meditation and metaphysics for years and know that negative thoughts
and actions affect not only our mood, but it can seem to ensnare us into patterns
in our lives. I wanted to look at that in an archetypal way. What if demons
were responsible for those negative thoughts? What would the world look like if
they were here? I liked the idea of the world looking pretty much the way it
does now, but with bleed through from an otherworldly dimension that only few
can see, like Mia who’s a prophet. That basically built the framework for the
world in this series.
After I
signed with Inkspell Publishing for The
Watcher, my editor suggested I write a sequel. At first, I didn’t know what
to write, but the idea for The Warrior
Prophet (Book 3) actually came to me before The Angel Killer did. So you could say this book is where I was
headed.
The Warrior Prophet takes Mia and the reader
on a journey through hell. Inspiration came from many places, but the journey
through hell had its own inspiration. I was a big fan of Milton’s Paradise Lost. I loved the epic good
versus evil theme, the descriptions of hell. I also like the idea that there
were many layers of hell, as Dante had in the Inferno. Thirdly, ever since I’d watched the movie What Dreams May Come I wondered about
the idea of hell being subjective. After all, life is subjective. What if the
afterlife were too?
If
hell were subjective, then Mia might see a very different version of it and
might get lost. This isn’t Wonderland. She’d make no friends in hell who could
help her along the way. In order to survive the trip, she’d need a guide. And
from there, I knew that the guide needed to be unreliable, the way that Gollum
was to Frodo in the Lord of the Rings.
From
there, the pieces came together and the story came to life. As dark and scary
as some of the places were, it was the most fun I’ve had writing a novel.
