Inferno

I've always been a huge fan of Dan Brown - that guy is awesome! One of my favorite authors, and I have many. I read The Da Vinci Code back in university and Angels & Demons when my father passed away to help distract my thoughts. The movies were ok, but nothing can compare to the books themselves. As a huge history and art buff, I found it so easy to dive into his books. Now I wait patiently for Inferno - ahhhhhh!!! I can't wait. I plan to devour the book. Similarly, my new book Hearthstone - that I am so diligently working on - is also partly based on Dante's Inferno.

I've always had a fascination with Dante's account of Hell that in university I took a course strictly devoted to Dante's works (particularly The Divine Comedy) and how it influenced Renaissance art. In Hearthstone, the main characters, Victor and Antara, must visit the underworld to retrieve something lost - the layout of the underworld will be based on Inferno.
