Chapter 482

THIS IS YOUR ONLY SPOILER ALERT DISCLAIMER! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK! Even the questions included in this series are spoilers, and there’s some connections to easter eggs for my book, Taming the Queen of Beasts as well. So if you haven’t read Rise of the Dark Alpha all the way to the end, or if you plan to read QUEEN, please don’t read this interview until you have!

I REPEAT: If you haven’t finished the book, don’t read this interview until you have! LOL.

WORLD:

How did you come up with Thana? Why did you choose those animals?

So, originally I had intended to enter a different book in the werewolf competition. I was going to tell Lerrin and Suhle’s story, which would have started at the end of King, but filled in the gap between the two books, then ended alongside the ending of Queen. But by the time it was time to publish, there clearly wasn’t an (big enough) audience for another BEAST book. I had a couple readers read the blurb and even they weren’t super excited about it. But at that point I had already constructed this world of alpine animals that had been scientific experiments (it was originally a “sanctuary” here on Earth.)
