Is Sevia a real place? Several early readers thought so. The simple answer is, “No.” However, like most simple answers, that’s a bit too simple.
While there is no little nation of Sevia in Southeastern Europe, I was inspired to start writing about Sevia because of my own years spent in some of our real world’s most troubled places.
Yes, the ethnic conflict that occurs in these stories is fictional, but similar scenarios are tragic reality for millions of people around the world.
I chose to create my own setting when writing these stories for two reasons–one, because I enjoyed the challenge of creating a whole world from scratch, but mainly because some of the recurring themes in these stories, like war and racial hatred, are problems faced by people of nearly every language, nation, and faith in the world today.
I chose not to entangle my stories with real-world politics or actual conflicts because I wanted them to be resonate with any reader, anywhere.
