Matthew J. Kirby is the author of “Icefall” and “The Clockwork Three.” Below is a complete Q&A transcript from his interview with Cracking the Cover.
Where did the idea for “Icefall” come from?
ICEFALL had its beginnings in a brief but vivid dream in which I saw three children clinging to each other in a remote fortress. It was winter, and cold, and outside the fortress an army of warriors approached. But I knew the warriors were the good guys and had been sent to protect these three children. And yet, the children were terrified of them.
Then I woke up. But the feeling of the dream lingered, a frigid claustrophobia, and I began trying to make sense of it all. Who were the children? Why were they there in that fortress? Who were those warriors, and if they were sent to protect the children, why were the children afraid of them? The answers to these questions led me to Solveig and her story.
Briefly tell me a little about it.
