One was a "skeedar" - flying deer of sorts -the other a"vape" a snake head spear. That must have been fun to work with your daughter and have her involved in your book!<br /><br />Stephanie, I agree what fun to create an old myth and put a new spin on that. Readers can love old turned into new - and fun to create too!DonnaGalantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936331145444649588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955575393345766322.post-48378821368500590542012-03-30T16:35:14.466-04:002012-03-30T16:35:14.466-04:00A Human Element sounds like a great read.

I love dark stories. <br /><br />I love creating new creatures, although there's a lot of fun to be had in writing a new take on an old myth. <br /><br />My test came back Siren, with a bit of nymph and elf thrown in.

Nicole, did you take the creature test too?<br /><br />Catherine, thanks for reading A Human Element and I love hearing your take on X-10.

It's so scary that he can kill from a long distance. I like him more for the fact that he's not some cardboard character-not your typical vamp or werewolf, but he's made up in vivid detail.Catherine Stinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131569196977321229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955575393345766322.post-9832911329125628202012-03-30T09:52:17.324-04:002012-03-30T09:52:17.324-04:00Christine - thanks!
