Featuring THE PRIESTESS AND THE DRAGON By Nicolette Andrews

I love featuring authors I know on the blog! Today, Nicolette Andrews is here to talk about her Japan-inspired Fantasy, THE PRIESTESS AND THE DRAGON.

I asked Nicolette, “Why did you write THE PRIESTESS AND THE DRAGON?”

She replied…

I started writing The Priestess and the Dragon for fun. I’ve always been a bit of an anime/manga nerd and I really wanted to write something that was inspired by my favorite anime tropes. I posted it to a website called Wattpad and it found a decent audience who were just as excited as me about the story and it really fueled me to keep going, when I might have otherwise forgotten about it after a couple chapters. The more I wrote, the more I wanted to learn about Japanese Mythology and Japanese history and I ended up doing a ton of research on both subjects. I own so many reference books on Japanese mythology, religion and history, I could fill a whole book case at this point HaHa. I guess you could say I’ve just fallen even more in love with the Japanese culture as a result of this book.

That’s so awesome, Nicolette! You should see my Japan-related bookshelves. They are packed to the brim! Lol. I bet we’d have quite the collection if you combined them.
