INTERVIEW WITH ELIZABETH HERRERA
WHAT SPARKED THE IDEA FOR THIS BOOK?
The idea for Earth Sentinels began while having breakfast with my family. Everyone was quiet, so I thought I would liven things up with an impromptu story of how the earth’s creatures were tired of mankind destroying the earth and planned to strike back. I created a story of big beasts sneaking up on people, then tearing them limb from limb. I expected my children to be appalled by the blood and gore, but instead their eyes were wide with fascination and my 14-year-old daughter, who is sweet and loving by nature, clenched her fist and exclaimed, “Yes!” It was then that I knew I was on to something. We are all troubled by the greed destroying our planet and want to someone, anyone, to do something.
