![]() I have zero experience with these cultures, except for an appreciation of their history, their complexity and their beauty. LOL! Why did you choose Dynastic China, Ancient India and Feudal Japan as the inspiration/base for your feline culture? What is your experience with these cultures? I do! I have three – an orange tabby male, a brown tabby whom we took in as a stray and a little grey fluffy thing that thinks she’s a dragon. At least, in their not-so-humble opinion.Īnd probably, because if I was an animal, I’d be a cat. There are other anthropomorphic cultures in the series, and you find out more about them as the stories progress, but definitely, the cats are in a class by themselves. ![]() I’m a zoologist and have worked with predators back in my Edinburgh Zoo days, so when I began roughing out the idea for this book, I knew it had to be from the point of view of the cats. ![]() I’ve always had an affinity for the big cats. ![]() Why did you choose felines as the dominant species in your novels? ![]() Sure! The ‘Elevator Pitch’ would be “Game of Thrones meets Planet of the Apes, dressed up as a Japanese Anime!” It’s a post-apocalyptic saga that reads like high fantasy, with the rise of genetically-altered civilizations that blend elements of Ancient India, Dynastic China and Feudal Japan.Ĭool. Could you give us an overview of your Tales of the Upper Kingdom series? ![]()
