Folklore, faith, and the things we can't quite explain: that's the strange fuel behind every story I tell.
I've always been drawn to the cracks in the ordinary world: the legends passed down in whispers, the coincidences that feel like design, the ancient symbols that turn up across cultures that never met. The Luminaria Chronicles grew out of that lifelong obsession.
In this post I share some of the real myths and unexplained phenomena that inspired the hidden war at the heart of my books, and why I think the best supernatural fiction always has one foot in something true.
