Goodreads asked E.M. Kelly:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

E.M. Kelly Growing up my mom brought me to the library a lot. It was our form of entertainment. I always liked the Post-Apocalyptic books and loved the stories about survival. I also had a fascination with the Bible's Book of Revelation (I grew up Irish Catholic in a small town south of Boston). I loved Stephen King's The Stand and The Dark Tower series along with The Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye & Jerry Jenkins. I knew long ago that I wanted to write about the Four Horsemen and incorporate todays time. I toyed around with an idea but felt like I was missing something. Last year my drinking reached an all time high and my wife threatened to leave me. I decided to do something about my life and write the story inside me. Addiction & Pestilence is an ugly look at the world gone mad and continues throughout the Slaying Dragons series. Not everything goes as planned. Only you control your life no matter what anyone tells you!
