✨ Interview with Silmarilz1701 ✨
✨ Interviewed by ethelwrite ✨
When I sat down to talk to J about her stories and experiences with writing, I was hoping to learn a lot. Her work is excellent and, throughout previous interactions, I could see she has a lot of experience and many advice.
However, this taught me so much about writing, working with disability, and inspiration, that I couldn't put a cap on it. So please enjoy part 1 of this conversation.
Loyalty. What did it mean?
As the Second Titan War raged across the United States, Half-Bloods began to pick sides. To some Half-Bloods, loyalty meant fighting for their godly parent. For some Half-Bloods it meant standing beside their friends. Sometimes those two definitions of loyalty clashed. They pulled to either side of the war.
And sometimes, Half-Bloods picked the wrong side.
When the war comes to a close, the traitor Luke Castellan repents of his actions long enough to kill Kronos and is given a funeral with honor. His final act granted him redemption.
But what about the living? Who redeems them in the eyes of the gods?
This is the story of three Half-Bloods who become the sacrificial lambs on the altar of repentance to the Olympians. Because the Olympians have been called many things, but forgiving is not one of them.
❤️: What is your book, Walk With the Shadows, about?
🥲: So (and spoilers for The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan) Walk With the Shadows is a Percy Jackson and the Olympians-era fanfic following three original character demigods as they come to grips with their relationships to their godly parents while on a quest to save the demigods who fought against the Olympians. Alex Griffith, the 18-year-old son of Hermes, his girlfriend Ophelia Byrd, the 18-year-old daughter of Hecate, and Kitty Ellis, the 17-year-old daughter of Tyche, don't get time to rest after Battle of Manhattan. Instead, they find themselves searching for the Lyre of Orpheus. Their quest takes them from New York, to Washington DC, to Disney World, and places in between and beyond. Too bad only one of them gets to return home. Timeline-wise, the story begins in the middle of the Battle of Manhattan, and ends during the unexplored time between The Last Olympian and the beginning of Heroes of Olympus.
