Two years ago I unveiled the icy world that is Polar in my book "Polar: The Ice Dragon's Curse." Life is too short not to celebrate, so today and the next couple of days you can download the e-book for FREE!
I got my inspiration to write Polar from many late nights with my friends playing Drakar & Demoner (similar to, but not the same as, Dungeons & Dragons). I saw these two dwarves sitting by a small fire that barely popped on the frozen tundra and thought—what are their purpose? What do they aspire to besides just staying alive?
That's where my story started. They were in a cold place, but why was it cold and what could they do not to perish?
I remember the drilling fluids from my offshore days being referred to as "Mud" and thought that was a fitting name for a fluid that kept these two warriors warm.
But I needed magic – as I so often do – so I thought we should make the bad guys the elves who had enslaved magic through their fire bracelets.
But then again, I wanted to make a comment on the world's ever-turning towards consumption and aspiration of getting more of something expensive instead of chasing what is free. So then I saw it: True Love. Known to put fire in people's hearts, I saw that as my take on overcoming the coldness.
So welcome to the world of old magic, freezing cold landscapes, and an unlikely band of heroes coming together to end the reign of the Ice Dragon Claymore.
What moment sparked your biggest creative breakthrough? I'd love to hear about it.
