Enter the Werewolf Whisperer – Want more of the werewolf whisperer? You’re in luck. The mention of the werewolf whisperer in Book of the Lost was a trial run. I’m working on a new trilogy based on the idea of a werewolf whisperer that walks the line between two Hatfield-&-McCoy-style feuding werewolf packs. First book expected to be out in 2014 after House of Gammen, of course!
August & Calandra – What was up with that? August has been around a long time, and he’s always been the adventurous type. I imagine he’s had a torrid love affair or two. Maybe this is a novella I’ll write another day.
Brun & Broo – Did you catch what he did right before he closed the coffin? He was looking for her Atlantis token. Re-read the end of Chapter 2 if you missed it.
The Whisperer’s so grundy – You know I love opposites. Calandra was so beautiful, I thought it would be fun to write him as her opposite. Also, I hope it showed that she was with him for what was inside…buried deep, deep under crusted layers of ick inside.
Calandra’s accent – I listened to Sofia Vergara on old episodes of Modern Family as I wrote Callie’s dialog. However, beta readers told me that the accent was too strong, so I backed it off considerably for the final release.
Nana’s powers – In Of Sun & Moon, we learned that Nana is a kitsune with five tails, meaning five special powers. It was also revealed in that book that she has the power of possession and shapeshifting. Brun reveals a third power in chapter five of BotL. She can astro-project.
Head of Household – In Shadows Rising, Arden notes that Keira had introduced him to reality shows. In BotL, Keira refers to Brun as the “head of household” a reference to Big Brother.
What’s up with Eric Jansen? – He’s aloof and his eyes flash red at danger. There’s definitely something up with Eric. Well, here’s the scoop. This is a crossover gig for him. Eric is the main character in a Mothman novel I’ve been working on.
Jumper’s tee at graduation practice – Jump always finds a fun way to support his girlfriend’s time traveling talents. He wore a Save the Clock Tower t-shirt to graduation practice, a nod to Back to the Future.
Jump’s Twilight reference – Also at graduation practice, Jumper asks Arden, “How long have you been nineteen?” Of course, Arden doesn’t get the reference.
1805 or 1803? – The question on Keira’s American History final was What year did Ohio enter statehood?
Rubrae Cliffs – The mogdoc language is based in Latin. Rubrae is the Latin word for Red as the cliffs are composed of clay.
Chakram – I’ve been asked why I chose a chakram as Ann’s weapon for the final chapters. To this I reply, “Chakram’s are cool. Xena carried one.”
