I was inspired to write the next two novels soon after the first was completed and I wrote them as a trilogy. When I wrote Starblood it was meant to be a stand alone. I wrote it as a violent short story before I decided I needed to write more about the woman in that scene and make her my antagonist. The first scene I completed was chapter two of Starblood. The songs I used for titles also provided some writing prompts for some of the scenes. Other ideas came from the magical works I read and people from the Goth scene I had the pleasure to meet and know. Where did you get the inspiration/idea for your series?Ī lot of the inspiration came from my life and changes therein, including motherhood and a marriage break-up. My favourite is the second book, Psychonaut, as it is a pretty impressive work of imagination and I wowed myself writing it. Together with artist Anna Prashkovich, a series of graphic novels based on the story are being developed.ĭo you have a favorite book out of this series? The following three books will be released in 2019, approximately three months apart. It’s a female centred series, although there are male characters present and active in the plot. The series spans a period of five years and sees the characters grow up and learn important lessons. It is a mix of Gothic Romance, in the tradition of Wuthering Heights Horror, both supernatural and human cruelty Fantasy, demonology and other worlds. Each of them is named after Goth music, and each contains the same characters (apart from any we lose along the way). I researched a lot of magical and esoteric traditions and alternative ideas about the Garden of Eden and Lilith.Īt the moment it contains four novels – Starblood, Psychonaut, Black Sun and Ribbons. What kind of research did you do for this book? I find it the perfect genre to ask certain questions about what it means to be a young woman who is trying to carve a space in the world. I am obsessed with magic and altered perception. I’ve always loved horror and dark fantasy. How did you get interested in writing this particular genre (historical novels, mysteries, sci-fi, children’s books, etc.)? The title is from a song by Cranes called Starblood, and the main female protagonist is called Star. As a lifelong Goth quite a few if the characters have been inspired by people I have known and met, including myself. The story centres around a group of Goths.
It is the first book in a series of at least four novels. My newest release is a relaunch of my debut novel Starblood, offered by Vamptasy Publishing. How did you come up with that (story, angle, idea)? My name is Carmilla Voiez and I tend to write in a number of genres including Gothic Horror, Weird, Urban Fantasy and Erotica. What’s your name and what genre would you consider your books to be?
