Alchemy, as you read the series, as you go along, alchemy isn’t really even what’s happening here. Why did you go for alchemy in the trilogy instead of witchcraft?Īlma Katsu: Well, that’s a funny thing. That, of course, spooky springs to mind, Salem. And it was bound to seep in to any story that I told. Just grew up around cemeteries and, you know, ghost stories and all that sort of thing. I think the supernatural part came because I grew up in a very, very spooky little town in Maynard, Massachusetts. But then the story just grew out of there. And Jonathan, a little cattish man that she falls in love with. I got the idea for the main characters, Lenore, the woman who lives for love basically, falls disastrously in love with the wrong man and it ruins her life. I want to say the characters came first, because that’s really what drove me to write the series. Which came first, the characters or their paranormal world?Īlma Katsu: Well, I’d have to say they probably came together. The Taker Trilogy is a wonderful mixture of mainstream, romance and fantasy elements. Welcome, Alma.Īlma Katsu: Thank you for having me, Jean Marie.
