What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Many things, like my dad’s illusionists hobby in the past have inspired me to write the Omen Swift series, While I was growing up my dad used to introduce me to certain politics, religion and the art of illusionists living in India and New York. It never occurred to me , when I was seven, that he would bring light to all the main elements of what I would write about when I turned seventeen. The Omen Swift series has shed light on the history of Wiccans and Native Indians, and how people can misinterpret a certain belief or cult for what it really is. I personally am a big fan of ancient gothic history and its
museums, all of which provided the settings I needed in which to build the vivid world in which Omen is sent to live in.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Simple. I just created them in my head. As they came along I dream’t up what they were like, and the conflict they would face in a world in which they belonged to. Every thing has a reason to happen at a certain time and Omen Swift is no different. The type of settings and issues the Characters face, provide reason for personality traits in the people I draw up.
In the Omen Swift series there is no shying away to prejudice and family conflicts. All this provides a sense of purpose and strength to the characters I draw up.
