Interview with the Author
Will you share a little about your book? It’s a conspiracy theory about alchemy. Set in the art and craft world, it’s low fantasy with high stakes. Readers who enjoy the Da Vinci Code should like it.
Will you share how you came up with the idea for this book?
I am a sculptural restorer specialising in metals. I wanted to convey my love of metals and the idea came to me when a historian friend was doing some research and calling up some pretty rare volumes. He got a warning to stay away from the material he was looking at. I wondered why anyone would be so protective of something so dry and academic. I wondered what motivation they could possibly have and what might happen if he ignored the warning. I built this book around this event.
Who or what was your inspiration for this book?
Every day, I work with historic objects and one of the questions I always ask myself when restoring them is ‘what is missing from this object. What can I not see?’ and ‘why might evidence have been lost?’ It has made me very interested in what’s absent from history and why. This story is about how history can be manipulated by the removal of physical evidence for personal gain.
It is said that authors write themselves into their characters. Is there any part of you in your characters and what they would be?
The only part of the lead character that is like me is her love of metals. That we share.
Have you been influenced by the writing style of other authors?
I adore and devour books, but trying to imitate someone else would just be too hard. Your own voice has to be authentic otherwise I think you come off as a hack.
Do you have plans to write another book?
