Thank you Emily for having me today! Now over to you, dear readers: You are welcome to peruse the playlist I listened to often while I wrote by going here. Songs which said to me a battle is coming, a battle is coming, a battle is coming, beware, beware.

I listened to a lot of thematic music for the third book.

A lot of the descriptions for my bridge are pulled from my vacation photos. From my travels through Europe, I’ve actually crossed a delightful covered bridge in Lucerne, Switzerland.

The Gjallarbrú is a covered bridge in folklore with a gold roof.

A quatrefoil is one of my sorority’s symbols. I was sold and quickly wrote that in for the Under Realm.

I came across a real location for an astronomy academy / castle, which had quatrefoil-shaped grounds.

Zaria Fierce and the Dragon Keeper’s Golden Shoes: I wanted to include one into the book so I invented my own! Here’s a picture of it with the book.

I’m a huge fan of board games and I play regularly with friends all kinds of fabulous ones that you probably never heard of.

I ran across a picture of three foxes sticking their head through the same hole right around the time that I took the story to Niffleheim and that is why the fey could transform into foxes.

Alas that little nugget didn’t make the cut. I was wicked tempted to put Backstreet Boys into the story.

I watched videos and even stumbled upon the event brochure.

The Tall Ships Race is a real event and was actually held in Fredrikstad, Norway very recently.

Zaria Fierce and the Enchanted Drakeland Sword:

Zaria would meet Olaf in the same manner as the goats do in the folktale Three Billy Goats Gruff, but unlike the goats, Zaria wouldn’t escape unscathed from her encounter.

When I saw this piece, I knew I wanted Zaria to transverse the Norse landscape on a mysterious forest creature of her own. Once I knew Zaria would be set in Norway and that her antagonist would be a devious troll named Olaf, I began to look into John Bauer’s artwork.The expression on this one inspired Olaf. On a trip to Europe, just before beginning Zaria’s tale as we would all come to know it, I came across some trolls over a door lintel in Bratislava, Slovakia.Zaria Fierce and the Secret of Gloomwood Forest: I thought I would share three things for each book. She invited me to talk about some things that inspired scenes in the Zaria Fierce Trilogy. Emily has been absolutely wonderful over the past few years as I’ve written it. Good day readers! My name is Keira Gillett and I’m the author behind the Zaria Fierce Trilogy. I love having her here, and I think she has a lot of interesting things to share with us today. I am so excited to have Keira Gillet on the blog today! Keira is the author of the Zaria Fierce trilogy, which I have talked about quite a few times on the blog.
