Interview with Valerie Storm, Author of Fate of the Storm
14 May 2025
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Fate of the Storm?
Kari the wolf demon will have to face the Lord of Demons and save the very world she was once destined to destroy. I was inspired by anime and video games (especially Inuyasha and Disgaea).
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Fate of the Storm, what would they be?
“Rain” from Full Metal Alchemist (specifically the AmaLee cover).
What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I love reading fantasy, which I also write pretty exclusively!
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
I have several books from my publishing house that I want to get to!
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
My favorite scene I wrote is pretty late in the book, and so it’s a bit of a spoiler, but it involves Kari talking to a long-standing villain of the series.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
The quirkiest thing I have when I write is that I make faces when I’m trying to imagine how my characters react when they’re talking or doing things.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Treat others how you want to be treated; don’t lose your light.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Don’t lose your light; whatever keeps you going, hold onto it.
