The kind of mistakes that haunt you the rest of your life, the ones that make you doubt yourself, or set you on a path that seemingly has no return. I’m not talking about superficial mistakes that we can get away with in books to add depth to a character, but real mistakes. RB: Good-by-the-rules heroes aren’t real to me. What do you enjoy writing more: morally grey characters or good-by-the-rules heroes? SR: Most of your characters in Kingdom of Souls are morally grey. I wanted to write a story that could subvert that perception and paint this idea that magic isn’t good or bad it’s how people choose to use it. I have rarely (if ever) heard of voodoo, witchdoctors, or any traditions from African nations presented in a positive light in western society. I particularly gravitated to the word witchdoctor, which is a disparaging term with far-reaching negative connotations.
