Toronto, ON Toronto, ON Toronto, ON Toronto, ON Now that warmer weather has finally arrived,
with it comes the onset of a slew of big-budget movies. But
audiences seeking a thrill that costs less than a popcorn and
cola combo at the theatre would be well-served to check out
the modern urban fantasy novel, Reflections of the Gods, by
Canadian author, Lisa Llamrei.
Unlike the 90 minute blockbusters that bombard the senses
into submission rather than engage them, Lisas new book
unleashes the best of both worlds: a thrilling Urban fantasy that
doesn't come at the expense of character development.
According to Llamrei, the Celtic backdrop against which
Reflections of the Gods is set is particularly rife for such
explorations.
I find inspiration in folklore and ancient myths. Irish folklore is especially intriguing, in part because
much of it is still a living tradition in Ireland today," says Lisa, who has been enamoured with
historical fiction since she was a young girl. "Theres no limit to what you can do with these
characters, and writing stories in which mythological beings interact with humans is just a natural
extension of stories that have been around for centuries. And the beauty of the written medium is
that it allows for the kind of depth that you just can't get from cramming a story into a 90-minute
time frame."
Following in the footsteps of established Urban fantasy writers Laurell K. Hamilton and Kim Harrison,
Llamrei is fast becoming a top author in this genre aimed at adult readers, setting her story in
Toronto and Kells, Ontario.
Lisa Llamrei is based in the Toronto area, and her debut has been rapidly accumulating honours,
the most recent of which was being a finalist in the 2014 International Book Awards (Cross Genre).
