![]() I’m a very visual person and I had a huge bulletin board full of pictures of various places and architecture. Where did you draw the inspirations from? The Kiss of Deception is set mainly in the summer festivities in a small village, and everything feels very fascinating, from the log wrestling to the Festival of Deliverance. They main point of it, really, was so the reader would give them both careful consideration, and not sum them up by their titles or outward appearance. I made slips along the way, but revision took care of that. Likewise, in the “Assassin” and “Prince” chapters, I made sure they didn’t talk about recent interactions with Lia that might exclude the other from being present. It was tricky! I had to be careful in the “Rafe” and “Kaden” chapters, that they only spoke of their immediate interactions in Terravin, and not their other lives. How do you balance between dropping enough hints such that the reveals would make sense, and making it suspenseful? ![]() And that meant my voice was always last to be heard, which perhaps made me more of an observer and listener? Priming for a life as a writer? In the Kiss of Deception, we don’t know who Rafe and Kaden are supposed to be until much later. Nope! Second daughter and last of the brood. ![]() ![]() A post shared by Mary E Pearson jump into the books. ![]()
