#writerscoffeeclub 30 May. Who do you write for?

Myself, and my characters.The handful of people who read my work. Whatever other big Vampire Hunter D fans there are out there who'd like something to read set in a similar world, but with a protagonist that doesn't start out in god mode, and has an internal struggle against darkness that continues through the series.

I usually do some writing on my breaks at work, but with all my stress and tiredness I decided to just read some more Vampire Hunter D instead. I've read all of the books translated to English, and love how they get better with each one, as well as how they get crazier with the challenges D must face. It's a big inspiration to my own work, more specifically my current project, the series #DarkShadow. Unlike D who is god-like right off the bat though, my fiend hunter starts off in a more feeble state. I hope those who end up reading enjoy his transformation throughout my books. My novel Shadowed Memories (prt 2) gives a decent glimpse into his future.

#WordWeavers 01/28: Did any specific world history inspire parts of your story?

Eh...my current wip #ShadowedMemories follows a writer struggling against supernatural forces in the present day. There isn't much of a historical inspiration there. My bigger world, #DarkShadow isn't much for historical inspiration either, it's biggest source of inspiration comes from the #VampireHunterD series. There is room for stories that take from life, like an idea I have for a city run by a totally incompetent wannabe king, and I could see myself expanding on a Plague short I've written with influence from the COVID pandemic.
