What inspired you to write your book?
I've always been fascinated by Gargoyles the Disney TV show and had this idea floating around in my head for a few years. When the setting and female character formed, I knew I had to put them together.
Here is a short sample from the book:
Zorin felt fingers on his wing and spun around, clasping the man’s wrist, stunned at the alarm on his face. “You see me?”
The man nodded and glanced back at the woman, who mimicked the gesture.
This caster was as stronger as the woman and his power flooded the gap between them. Using every measure of control he had not to absorb it, Zorin grunted, shoved the man backward, and tucked his wings close to his shoulders. Shocked and grateful they had the ability to see him, yet curious what they actually saw, Zorin opened the mental crystal bond and frowned as the word crossed the man’s mind.
“I’m not a gargoyle,” Zorin spat, huffing and clenching his jaw to calm down so he wouldn’t scare them further. The wide-eyed woman, dressed like a true survivor, held a lonely sai in her shaking hand, determined to protect herself. A quality he admired. He met her eyes. “Where did the wraiths come from?”
“The, uh, crazy lady,” she began, glancing over toward the bushes and furrowing her brow. “They were right there.”
