The Inspiration Behind the Crescent Chronicles
By Alyssa Rose Ivy
I love Paranormal Romance novels, and I
always said that if I was going to write one, it had to be set in New
Orleans. Originally from New York, I was entranced by New Orleans
when I moved down for college.
After spending four years in that amazing city, I realized that if the supernatural really did exist, it would be found there. There is just something about that city that makes you believe it’s possible.

My experiences as a college student in
New Orleans definitely influenced and inspired the series. Sprinkled
throughout the books are some actual antidotes’ from my own life.
For example, I witnessed a ‘vampire wedding,’ in New Orleans that
inspired the scene in Flight when Allie is shocked to see people with
fangs drinking from a chalice. Although the majority of the series is
pure fiction, it’s been a writing experience full of nostalgia.
