“Daughter of the King started with a desire to write a
novel about a woman from the Bible.
Predictably, the first names that came to mind were Ruth, Esther, and
Mary Magdalene. When I saw how many
books there were about each of those three women, I went searching for another
heroine. I happened to be reading in
the Old Testament and came across the account of King David’s wife Michal
giving him a piece of her mind over his dancing before the Arc of the Covenant. I backed up and read about the circumstances
of Michal and David’s marriage.
Hmm. Princess loves and marries a
shepherd who became a hero and ultimately reigns as a great king—most definitely
the story I wanted to write.
Under normal circumstances, I would construct the outline of
a plot before beginning to write. With
Princess Michal, the “bones” were provided in the Bible. The challenge was to weave a story around the
given facts, making the known behavior flow seamlessly into the fictional
narrative. For example, why was Phaltiel
weeping when Michal was taken away from him?
Perhaps he loved her, but could there be another reason? I thought another explanation fit the story
better, and used that alternative motive for the tears. This ploy ended up helping to shape
Phaltiel’s character—and made “Daughter of the King” more interesting and
dramatic." Carlene Havel, coauthor of Daughter of the King and A Hero's Homecoming
