Emily Kay said that she will show to all her fans the cover of "Eulenflucht - Durch die Nacht" book early April ! So stay tuned and fingers crossed to see the cover soon :)

Interview about the release of "Eulenflucht - Durch die Nacht"

Last week Emily let the cat out of the bag - her fantasy-novel "Eulenflucht - Durch die Nacht" will be finally published in May this year! This news has not only put Emily in paroxsym of joy, we and many other TH-Fans are happy for her too.

After our team had already some time ago the possibility to read a part of the book (you can find the review in the Emily Kay-Support), I (Lisa) had now the honor to read the entire manuscript. And I have to say - the story has fascinated me so much that I have "swallowed" the manuscript literally. In my opinion this book is absolutely worthwhile for every fantasy-fan.

Exciting and mysterious, from beginning to end, and I as a Tokio Hotel-fan can only agree to Emily's quote "[...] "Geisterfahrer" is like my book [...], just in vocals.". At the end of the book the connection to the song "Geisterfahrer" became really clear - the song exactly reflects the atmosphere and the desire of the two main characters of the book.

And to make you even a little bit more curious about the book, we asked Emily a few questions about the upcoming release of "Eulenflucht - Durch die Nacht"...

When and where will be "Eulenflucht - Durch die Nacht" published?

Emily: Eulenflucht will be published in May 2011 by Elysion Books. This is a fantasy publishing house who is particularly focused on vampire stories.

From which date on you are able to pre-order the book?

Emily: From now on you can already pre-order the book on Amazon.de. Delivery is then in May.

How did you feel, as you recieved the "green light" (commitment) by Elysion Books?

Emily: I was very relieved because it is very difficult to get a publishing contract, regardless whether it is a publishing group or a smaller publisher. I am very happy that I could keep my promise and that people are actually able to read the book very soon.

Can you tell us anything about the cover of the book?

Emily: Yes, I just developed the cover from "Eulenflucht" with my publisher and the illustrator Ulrike Kleinert. I have seen a preliminary version, that allow us to imagine how it will look like. Since I also belong to the people who buy a book, only because of a great cover, it's very important for me, that it looks good in the book-shelf.

The cover will contain icon elements that indicate the subject of the book.

You have also revealed, that they will be a trailer for "Eulenflucht - Durch die Nacht"? How can the reader imagine it?

Emily: A book trailer is actually something like a trailer, or preview of a movie. It is a short film that provides a preview of the book. For the trailer there will be filmed sequences, with music and a spoken text by an actor. This allows the reader to get an even better impression of the book. For Eulenflucht we have a very great trailer music, in which I felt in love immediately. I hope, the readers like it as well.

"Eulenflucht - Durch die Nacht" is the first part of your vampire trilogy. Have you already begun to work on part 2?

Emily: Yes, I have already finished the gross design and I hope that I will be able to start part 2 this year. But it could probably run short, because I also write other books and it takes a lot of time.

What kind of whishes and plans do you have for the future?

Emily: I wish, that readers take pleasure in my books, dive into the world of books during reading and have some quality time there. What could be better for an author than satisfied readers? :-)

Interview for "Fantasy Fans"

What has “Tokio Hotel”, the little vampire Rüdiger von Schlotterstein and “The Lost Boys” in common? The answer is easy: Emily Kay, who has processed all these sources of inspiration in her novel “Eulenflucht – Durch die Nacht”.

And how life goes, nowadays you get very easy in contact with those interesting people. You only need a twitter-acount and the idee fixe, that an interview could be quite interesting.

~~~

Fantasy Fans: Dear Emily, first of all thank you for taking your time for this interview. You believe, that writing is in one’s blood. Did you always intend to be a writer or did it develop gradually?

Emily Kay: Actually, I was always writing, albeit more secretly. The stories were never made for others, but rather for me. But it was always my dream to write and achieve an audience. In the summer of 2007 I was seriously thinking for the first time about the idea of writing a book, but then dropped it again.

Fantasy Fans: You can read in your biographie, that from your earliest childhood you were some kind of addicted to writing. Why does it take so long until you finished your first novel?

Emily Kay: Actually, it didn’t took a long time to finish the book, I needed the right moment to start . It was very surprising for me. In the begining of 2009 I woke up and in my semiconsciousness i heard a voice, which told me: This year you will start to write “Durch die Nacht”. In parallel I saw for a split second a picture from a twilight beach, with a vampire in a curved position. In my brainstorm I went to my desk, wrote down the phrase and tried to fix the key points of this image. So that’s the way how “Eulenflucht – Durch die Nacht” started.

Fantasy Fans: Actually, your future readers don’t necessarily know, that you are obsessed with vampires since years. How do you feel about the fact, that some might think, that you are only another author, who wants a piece of the great-vampire-cake?

Emily Kay: Firstly, as a child in the 80s I really swallowed the book “Der kleine Vampir” and since then I want my own vampire. Back then my wish even got to the point to open secretly in the night the window of my child-room, hoping that I got a nocturnal visit from a vampire like Anton in the books. Unfortunately this never happened. For this, I froze in my bed for half of the night and then usualy closed the window again. I read these books during my elementary school and they are the reason for being a vampire fan. However, the most dramatic experience I had, was in 1988, when the movie “The Lost Boys” was released in Germany. I do not know how many times I’ve seen this movie in the cinema on my own. Anyway, I was permanently broke at that time, because I spend all my money to get into the cinema. This film was my personal “Twilight” in the 80s. And since then the vampire fever preyed on my mind. Even today the “The Lost Boys” movie poster hangs on the wall in my apartment. In the 90s I read with enthusiasm all vampire and witches – Books by Anne Rice and the “Diary of a Vampire” books by Lisa J. Smith Of course, I’ve also seen the movie “Interview with the Vampire.” Although I liked the book more than the movie. Then the “Blade” films and over the time I discovered more and more vampire books with which I could fill my bookshelves.

The official review

After some weeks the Official Emily Kay support could read the prologue and the fisrt 8 characters of “Eulenfluch – Durch die Nacht”. They wrote a little review that know you can read To read in german click here. And here you have the english translation by german support:

The Team of Tokio Hotel-Info had the great honor and pleasure to read the prologue and the first 8 chapters of “Eulenflucht – Durch die Nacht”.

At this point I (Lisa) would like to give you a short, intimate review, first of all to give Emily a feedback, and secondly, to make you a bit curious about the book.

However, I may not and won’t give you accurate details about the content.

“Eulenflucht – Durch die Nacht” (Owl’s Curse – Through The Night) is definitely a must have for every vampire-fan. Mysterious, supernatural, mystifying – but also love, friendship and the everyday life of the young female leading character come off badly. So this story is not worthwhile only for vampire-fans.

The chapters are written very exciting and interesting and Emily has defintily the talent to make the reader curious. You couldn’t help to share the thrill with the characters and set up wild therories about the furture course of the story.

The main character has a special connection to Tokio Hotel, which is described very beautiful in every situtation the girl has to cope with. Emily’s lively writting style also helps, that you simply enjoy reading. The story is here and there peppered with witty and charming comments, so that you automaticaly have to smile. Also Emily’s descriptions of the scenes and the characters of the book are so exactly, that you realy could imagine, which helps you to put yourself in the shoes of the characters and their story.

I look forward to get to know, what happend after chapter 8, which by the way is very exciting.

In any case, it was a pleasure to read the chapters in advance. At this point i would like to thank Emily to give us a little insight of her story. It was really fun and encouraged me to go on with my support for Emily.

Message from Emily Kay

"Hi !

Thanks for visiting my first international support page.

If you enjoy mystery, mythology and romance just click around and find out a little more about me and my vampire debut novel trilogy “Eulenflucht – Durch die Nacht” and the planned angel trilogy. Or visit my twitter for the latest news.

Besides the team of Tokio Hotel Europe has updated all recent news about my inspiration according to the song “Geisterfahrer” and Bill Kaulitz’ s “Angel Appearance” in Milan.

The best way to explain my motivation to write is shown in a quotation by Toni Morrison: “If there’s a book you really want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.”

Feel free to explore the webpage. I promise that I’ll develop it to include photos in the near future and all that sort of stuff you may be interested in.

Love,

Emily"
