Interview with P.T. Michelle
Q: As a writer,
how do you come up with your ideas for stories?
PT: Writers by
nature are very observant people. We absorb what we see, hear, smell and touch
everyday, so everything inspires us from movies to music to people. One thing
that has always inspired when forming a new story idea is I always ask myself
the question, "What if…." and then I fill in the blank. :)
Q: A story about
a girl dreaming her entire next day (and ONLY her next day) the night before is
unusual. How did you come up with the concept for BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS?
PT: The idea
behind the BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS series started off as one of those
"What if" questions. I ask myself, "What if a girl dreamed her
entire next day?" Then I think through all the possible scenarios: How
would that impact her? Would she act upon what she saw? And if not, why? What
if she didn't have a choice? And from there…the story starts flowing.
Q: DESTINY is the
3rd book in the BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS series. Did you know how many books
it would be when you first wrote BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS?
PT: I didn't know
how many books the series would be, but I definitely knew the story was far
bigger than just a couple of books. I'm what you call a hybrid-pantser writer.
A pantser is someone who sits down and just writes…no planning, no plotting
involved. The story just flows out. My stories are intricately weaved, so I
have to do a bit of planning before I start writing. I write a very high-level
outline and give myself TONS of permission to veer off course as the story
unfolds while I write. But at least the outline keeps me reminded of what my
goals were for the story. When you have mystery elements like I do in the
BKoD series, knowing where you're going is pretty important. :) So as the
stories have unfolded, they took on a life of their own. And then I've had to
plan each book as I go and also dovetail back into the previous books I've
written in the series.
Q: Ravens feature
dominantly in the BKoD series, which is definitely different from vampires,
werewolves and the like we've seen in a lot of popular paranormal books. What
made you choose to write about ravens?
PT: I've always
been fascinated by ravens. The lore about them is so interesting. Ravens have
been on many of my previous book covers and are mentioned in passing or are
part of the storyline in past books. They just weren't the main storyline. In
BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS, ravens finally take front and center. :)
Q: How many books
do you plan for the BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS series?
PT: Right now the
plan is four books. Depending on how the last book unfolds, there may be a spin
off. I'm leaving the possibilities open. :)
Q: BKoD is listed
as a YA series, but DESTINY could definitely fall into the New Adult category.
Tell us more about that; give us the scoop on the smexy stuff. :)
PT: My goal in
writing the BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS series was to write a series that both
upper teens and adults would enjoy equally. I've written the stories in the
series based on Nara and Ethan's age and the progression of their relationship
as it deepens. That's the reason things heat up as me move from book 1 to book
2 and then on to book 3.
Q: Any thing else
you'd like to add?
PT: I just wanted
to shout out a huge THANK YOU the readers and bloggers who've supported the
BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS series from the beginning!
