Everyone who featured Paranormalcy during the Fall Into Fantasy event (hosted by The Bookish Type) sent in a question for Kiersten, and we now have the answers!
Mine was: "Did Paranormalcy unfold the way you envisioned, or were there some surprises along the way? And if so, what changed?"
And Kiersten replied:
"My very first tendrils of an idea had IPCA functioning much more as a sort of endangered species protection group. Obviously it took a turn away from that with IPCA becoming more of an international policing group. I still think it'd be fun to play with the idea of a group protecting innocent and dwindling vampire populations from overzealous staking!"
That idea does sound like fun! Thanks to Kiersten for responding :)

what an awesome question - i love finding out what the initial nugget of an idea is and how it grows and changes :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I find that process interesting as well :)
ReplyDeleteIt's always interesting to see how ideas and characters suddenly take on a life of their own.
ReplyDeleteOh, I emailed you back through Hotmail since I find it a lot more personal and Blogger provides all my comments for me as email notifications.
Great question! How fun that she took the time to respond to everyone, I always love reading interviews with authors, I feel like I'm getting behind the scenes information:)
