A showcase with @coldsummerjess, author of Demon Host

1 what inspired the idea of your story? 

I dreamt. It actually started out funny because most of the time i just come up with random ideas of different stories but i don't always bring all of them to life. This one started from a dream somewhere in my fug of a mind and then I was telling my sister about it and we just kept on laughing like it was scary, (yes we laugh at anything horror). But then i watched the movie "shadow hunters" originally written by Clarissa Clare and I think the whole idea of using runes to fight demons was what expanded my imagination and I decided then and there that i was going to write the book.


2 what was something you struggled with for your story ? 

Coming up with the right theme. Naturally, my story is based in the US and considering i have never truly been there before, it was a little hard for me to level my story with their life style and ethics.


3 what has been the overall response to your story from your readers? 

According to most of the people who had truly taken their time to read my work, " it is a dark story with a brilliant plot that could captivate anyone who looks deeply at just the littlest details and i love the way you end every chapter, with a promise of something to look forward to, something that sparks your interest of wanting to know more. Also I have noticed improvement in your writing style from the beginning to your current chapters. Although I must say, as much as i love your work, there are still some improvements that should be made. "


4 what did you enjoy writing most of your story? 

The romance. The part of my main character still having someone to hold on to despite the dark times, despite the whole world turning their back on her still makes me feel emotional whenever i write a sene between them.


5 is your story a stand alone novel or a piece of a series? 

It is the first book to my collection of "the possessed series".


6 what would you like your readers to take away from your story?

I can't think of anything that i would want to leave. It is my work, it takes time, passion and dedication, so i want everything to remain exactly the way it is, even the parts that may not seem to collide. Except if maybe I plan on publishing in the future and I decide to rewrite and edit my previous work. I'm fine with the way it is.


 7 what's a piece of advice you would provide to another writer, when it comes to focusing on their story? 

Well.... I'm not good with giving advice, but i would say, keep doing what you do, it's your passion, it's our passion, and there is no flame in the world that can burn it down if you are serious about what you do ❤️.


8 does your main character share any similarities to yourself?

On the contrary... Yes. Although every other character of hers is nothing similar to mine. But my Witt is something i share with Dianna. I find it difficult to write a story without even a little bit of that trait.


 9 what's something you believe would draw in new readers? 

I honestly don't really know. But i hope they do come in


10 do you have any future projects?

Yes. Besides this story, I currently have two other ongoing works and about four more drafts with ten more ideas:-).My mind is a maze of crazy story ideas of different genres.
