One of these octos appears as Opie in SEA SPELL. Scientists say not much is known about this little guy, but come on….I know all I have to know just by looking at him. She’s blind, but she has this incredible ability to feel things, to sense what’s coming. This awesome fangtooth, who’s found at 5,000 meters below the surface, can’t see, but he can feel what’s around him using the sensory canals on his skin. He’s a bioluminescent – which means his body contains photocytes – cells that emit a bluish glow. This guy lives 1400 meters below the surface of the sea. It was so inspiring to me that I have to share a few shots from it with you because I love the creatures in it so much. It features photography of deep sea creatures. And one way to feed your imagination is to do research.įor the Waterfire Saga, I read lots of books on marine creatures and environments, including one incredible book called THE DEEP by Claire Nouvian. It takes a lot of imagination to do that. What makes books like Hunger Games or Harry Potter great? The fact that you can totally step into the world the author created. One of the biggest inspirations for SEA SPELL, and all the Waterfire books, was the sea itself, and its gorgeous and amazing creatures.Ī fictional world is created through imagination, of course.
