Urban Fantasy is full of so many great stories and characters, but I wanted to write something that went beyond wizards, zombies, and vampires or Greek and Roman mythology. There are thousands of strange myths, old and new, that haven't been explored that can be made into great stories. \u003ci\u003eThe Reaping of the Black Grimoires\u003c\/i\u003e is based on the very real grimoires written by former Popes and are rumored to be locked away in the Vatican Archives. There are African and Scandinavian mythologies I want to dig into as well. And of course, since Kana is of Japanese heritage, the treasure trove of Japanese legends and Eastern philosophy will be explored in a narrative form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKana's heritage is also important. We've heard so much about how underrepresented Asians are in Western pop culture, even when the stories are based on popular Asian properties (\u003ci\u003eDeath Note\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGhost in the Shell\u003c\/i\u003e to name a few). I decided to flip it: Kana's in a world where her contemporaries look and act like the typical heroes of the stories - buxom blondes and suave, muscular leading men - and she struggles with measuring herself against these people despite how good she is. That's a theme throughout the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: What Are The Main Influences For This Series?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA: \u003c\/b\u003eThere are quite a few: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dresden Files is certainly an influence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe globe-trotting and treasure hunting of Indiana Jones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attitude and spunk of Jessica Jones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClive Barker's scary-yet-beautiful way of creating worlds and monsters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreepypastas and lesser-known urban legends that are beyond bizarre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShayne Silvers and his Nate Temple Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsian Myths \u0026amp; Legends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoung Adult Science Fiction \u0026amp; Fantasy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kc Hunter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aoe Studios\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780982953327\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aoe Studios","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41262336639091,"sku":"9.78098E+12","price":18.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_17caf3b4-dbea-49fa-9bde-e72e1c6f5b18.jpg?v=1705503820","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/kana-cold-the-reaping-of-the-black-grimoires-9780982953327","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
