Interview With Joanna Penn About Thriller Novel Prophecy By Natalie Wright

As part of the launch for my latest thriller Crypt of Bone [at the time of this interview, the book was published as Prophecy], YA author Natalie Wright interviewed me about the book and my inspirations for ideas as well as my writing processes. The video is 15:37 mins long and there's an audio below if you would rather listen.

In the video, we discuss:

  • Tell us about Prophecy, an action-adventure romp
  • How did you come up with your protagonist, Morgan Sierra, who is a kick-ass, smart, sexy woman who can fight? I talk about how Morgan is my fantasy alter-ego. We also talk about who would play the roles of Morgan and Jake in the movie version of the novel.
  • Where did the evil organization Thanatos come from?
  • On art history, religious symbolism and historic places. How much time does it take me to research and why am I obsessed by these things? How I found the Devil's Bible and synchronicity.
  • On the God Helmet and some of the aspects that are real-life but have been twisted for the story
  • Have I been to all the places I write about? How I use Flickr for research. The symbolism of place.
  • My writing process is more set now I am working on the 3rd novel, Exodus. I explain how I work.
  • Where is the ARKANE series going?

Prophecy is available on Amazon Kindle for $2.99

Thanks to Natalie Wright, author of Emily's House, for the interview.
