I didn’t feel like I had anything to add to them.įinally I had crossed out everything except gods and zombies. I felt intimidated by all the established rules-by all the different versions of the creatures that were already out there. I considered them one by one, musing about which would be interesting to write about. It was a long handwritten list, stretching over a couple of pages. It ran from vampires and werewolves to nymphs and satyrs. I began by compiling a list of all of the mythological creatures I could think of. I knew the book would be a romance, that it would be set in France, where I live, and that it would fall on the paranormal side of fiction, so the next question I had was what kind of being this girl would fall in love with.įinding that answer was more difficult than I expected. That’s how Kate introduced herself to me. And while I sat buried in bubbles, wondering who my heroine would be, this sentence popped into my head: “Ten days after my sixteenth birthday, my parents were killed in a car accident.” So my mind was already on dark things when I began concocting Die for Me. I had just finished a short story that could best be described as psychological horror and wanted to do something different.

The Story of L’amur immortel (Immortal Love)Ĩ. The History of the Revenants’ Guérisseurs
