Children's Author Interview | Katherine Langrish | Dark Angels

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 26, 2010 -- The author Katherine Langrish explains the creative process of writing Dark Angels:

"I’m a visual writer who has to ‘see’ things very clearly. This book began with a picture in my head of huge fiery angels walking through cornfields and setting the corn alight. Another picture was of a boy standing on a mountain ridge at night watching the stars fall. Funnily enough, these pictures didn’t make it into the final book, at least not unchanged, but they were the starting place and set the tone.

I knew the book would be fantasy, and ‘angels’ together with ‘mountains’ led me to the Welsh-English Marches in the early 12th century, the time of Richard the Lionheart, when the Marches were wild lawless places ruled and fought over by Norman warlords and Welsh princes.There are a lot of very odd legends from that time and place, about underground fairylands, and people stolen or changed by the elves – who were thought of as sinister, dangerous creatures, akin to fallen angels or evil spirits."
