Hello everyone and welcome to Day 3 of my mini blog tour. Today I'm sharing trivia about Death Sword. The first draft was written in 2008 for NaNoWriMo and over 90% of the book was rewritten in subsequent drafts. Which only proves that no matter how happy you are with your initial draft, there's probably room for improvement. :-)
1. Death Sword was originally written in 1st person POV.
2. Karla's name was originally Kyra.
3. Samael wasn't the antagonist. Instead, he was a minor character.
4. Sariel was the antagonist, an archangel of death who stole Samael's poisonous rapier and killed angels and humans with it.
5. Sariel's name was changed to Xariel because of the possible confusion between Samael and Sariel.
6. Samael and Xariel weren't lovers nor was Samael Xariel's boss.
7. Xariel wasn't afflicted with the sex curses.
8. Gabriel was a computer hacker.

I'm fascinated by a minor character growing into a major antagonist. How did this come about, and at which stage? How did Samael take over as antagonist? Did he do this gradually, by sneakily manipulating the author, or with a quick forceful coup?
