Background and inspirations
Background and inspirations
Susan Ee has stated that she has been fascinated with angels for a long time. Most classic angels were portrayed as destroyers and creatures of doom, but today, they are portrayed as guardian angels. Ee decided to follow the original portrayal of angels. The main character was named after the exit off Highway 80 in California, where she regularly used to drive by. The book was first self-published by Ee for personal reasons. She wrote the first draft of Angelfall, hoping that she could acquire a small group of readers interested in the story. It was later published by Amazon Children's Publishing on August 28, 2012.
Film adaptation
On September 13, 2011, Angelfall acquired a major film agent to represent its film rights. In November 2012, the movie rights were picked up by Good Universe and Ghost House Pictures.
