The Tox Files – The Inspiration Behind the Series
The Tox Files is an action packed series that combines ancient artifacts, modern day military might, some awesome romantic tension, and plenty of mighty eerie prophecies! It’s the perfect blend and I can’t get enough!!!
The series consists of:
Free prequel novella (released October 2016)
Book 1 – Conspiracy of Silence (released December 2016)
Book 2 – Crown of Souls (released September 2017)
Book 3 – Thirst of Steel (coming Summer 2018)
***Be on the lookout for my review of Crown of Souls this week!!!***
Interview & Giveaway!
Each of the stories in the Tox Files series has had a dangerous or powerful artifact that the team is up against. How did you come up with the idea of basing this series around these ancient artifacts?
Ronie Kendig: One night while working on Raptor 6, I needed a break (which is maybe another word for procrastination) and was hanging around Facebook. Former Delta Force operator turned author, Brad Taylor, posted a picture. That picture, he said, was located in one of the oldest, most continuously inhabited cities in the world. Challenge accepted! I went hunting…and several hours later, I was on fire with story ideas after finding a list of ancient cities. I’d been looking for a new concept I could blend into my Rapid-Fire Fiction, and my creativity just shot off in pursuit.
Did you reach out to anyone for help in deciding which artifacts would be a potential fit for the series?
Ronie Kendig: Yes!! In fact, Thaks to the inimitable Tosca Lee, I have become friends with Dr. Joseph Cathey–yes, he’s real and not just a literary character! Dr. Joe and I talked a lot in the early days, and he has given me ideas on artifacts and how to use them in the context of a paramilitary story. He has several degrees and is now back teaching at a seminary–but he’s also crazy creative! I owe him a massive debt of gratitude for all his help!
Thank you, Ronie, for giving us some background into your creative process!
