I need to finish this series before I think of anything else but I do have a few ideas stirring.Įthereal Fury was a well-planned story with lots of reference to the church. What else do you have planned to release? He was always to supportive and loving, even if my writing sucked when I was 12, he never would have told me. No, he critiqued me in a gentle way that said, “Here is what I would say,” instead of “You should have done it this way!” He was an English, creative writing and lit teacher so he was very good at making suggestions without getting people’s hackles up. Your father was an author and you say he encouraged you to write. Why shouldn’t she be angry with us, right? Everyone who has read the series has really identified with her character and has been pleased with the original concept of her being mean and vengeful instead of soft and understanding like mothers are stereotyped to be. Were you worried you might get some backlash from that? To the point she is planning the destruction of humanity. In Ethereal Fury, Mother Earth is very angry. The whole series will center on ways we hurt the earth, how some of the damage is irreversible and our struggle to work through our karma and survive her wrath. Will all of your books have an environmental feel? I am half way through book 4 and I see a possible book 5 and 6 in site. It was just after New Moon had been released and I started thinking about how could supersede vampires and werewolves and come up with an entirely different creature that was faster, stronger, sexier and who’s existence is more meaningful. Violette and Onyx are crazily attracted to each other but they don’t reek of co-dependency like Edward and Bella. I wanted to have romance but or the kind that takes over your soul and makes you feel like you’re nothing without each other. My inspiration was Twilight and the Host but I also wanted to create something that would speak to the younger generation in a healthy way. How did you come up with the idea for Gemini Rising (Ethereal Fury)? They will both find themselves in the middle of a revolutionary war that will either save, or destroy our world. A powerful, rising force proceeds to carry out Mother Nature’s plan to systematically destroy towns, cities, states… and eventually, the world.Īmidst the chaos, a forbidden relationship between a human girl, Violette, and Onyx, a lead Gemini, begins.

Gemini, a clan of paranormal beings, picked from these possessed humans, emerges. I am excited and pleased to share with you my interview with Jessica O’Gorek, the author of Gemini Rising (Ethereal Fury) #1īEWARE! THE PLANET IS WOUNDED… THE GEMINI ARE RISING AND OUR TIME ON EARTH IS LIMITEDĪngry at the human race and its methodical destruction of her resources, Mother Earth recruits souls who have just left their bodies to serve Her, and turns them against humanity.
