The writing of Hollowpox was already finished (apart from a few final edits) when COVID19 emerged. She explained that on signing with the publisher for the book series several years ago, she had to write an outline of each book and had already outlined that her plot in Book 3 would be about a disease outbreak. Jessica was absolutely shocked by the real-life pandemic after writing about one in her book. What were you surprised or shocked to have included in your story and have since found to come true? Its working title was Nothing Pox, which became Hollowpox.
She already knew that Book 3 was going to be about a magical pandemic with an emptying of humanity. The word Hollowpox sounded magical and interesting although neither of its components, ‘hollow’ or ‘pox’ are positive words. Jessica explained that it was a challenge.
But what is it really and how did you create such an apt, atmospheric title in a book that features a pandemic? Thanks for speaking with PaperbarkWords, Jessica.
