J.F. Cain Author Interview

Angels’ Whispers chronicles the harrowing struggle between two ultimate forces, Angels and Demons. What was your inspiration for this captivating story?

The idea of a female Angel had been knocking around in my head for a quite a few months and, ever so slowly, a story began to be woven around her. But it hadn’t occurred to me to write down the story. The last time I had written anything was when I was 17 years old, and that was many years ago. The only thing I was putting to paper all these years later were comments I jotted down about the books I was studying. But, at some point, I began to mark some of these comments with asterisks as a way to make a note of some topics that I could highlight in the story; and then all of a sudden, one evening I decided to write about the ideas I was developing. This story is the outcome of my need to express some unconventional views based on my inner contemplations.

The struggle between Angels and Demons is consistently explored by literature, but you bring a playfully crisp air into the work. What were some things that you wanted to do differently from standard tropes?

Modern-day readers have different demands. To make the age-old myth of the battle between good and evil more attractive and approachable for readers, I created a more intricate plot and added more suspense and romance, which nevertheless does not detract from the book’s objectivity, but instead enhances it.

I loved the intelligent yet candid way Angels scrutinize the notions of truth and freedom throughout the book. What were some themes you felt were important to highlight in the novel?

Balance is a key topic. Corporeality is the essence of human existence and one’s physical needs have to be met to attain intellectual and spiritual balance. This is why love and passion do not remain on the notional-platonic plane. The search for the source of existence and the changes that define it are a pivotal aspect of my work and my heroes’ actions. As they search, my characters gain self-knowledge. Emancipation is another topic. Many of the heroes in my story strive to break the bonds of the power holding them hostage – primarily spiritually – so that they can achieve their goals. They are even prepared to pay the price for this freedom that they must now handle on their own. Their weapon in this fight for freedom is doubt. As the enduring foundation of philosophy and science in general, doubt is what has led to the human being’s intellectual qualities and consequently to the creation and ongoing development of civilization. Of course, I do not fail to highlight the predominant role of love and passion, which together transcend space and time and even unite opposites – the human and the transcendent, good and evil – as their common denominator.

This is book one in the War Eternal series. Where does book two take readers and when will it be available?

The second book will be released in April 2018. There will be more action, earth-shattering revelations and unexpected twists that will propel the story to a new plane for readers.
