In an interview last week with author Anna Silver, she explains that her young adult urban fantasy novel, Otherborn, was partially inspired by what she'd read about real people who call themselves otherkin. In the interview, Silver said,
Apparently, Silver's fantasy novel uses the word "otherborn" instead. That's fine, because it's about a different supernatural concept than otherkin anyway. It's the first book of the "otherborn" series, and her next book is already in progress.

In an interview last week with author Anna Silver, she explains that her young adult urban fantasy novel, Otherborn, was partially inspired by what she'd read about real people who call themselves otherkin. In the interview, Silver said,
"Two things came together to inspire OTHERBORN. First, I read about the Otherkin subculture, people who relate more closely to being nonhuman than human. These people believe they were or are actually nonhuman beings, i.e. fae, vampires, elves, animals, etc. Some express having vivid memories of past lives as these different beings. It just seemed like a great character idea. The second was my research on dreaming."
