In a world where witches have been revered, a cataclysmic evening changes everything.

What did I enjoy most about writing this book? 

I try not to be too salesy in my blogs, or in person if you see me at a convention. We all know I’m trying to sell books. I figure if I can get you to like me, you might try my books, so I’ve tried to keep this interview fairly laid-back. Permit me the chance to answer this question.

The thing I enjoyed most about NOTB is that I started with one idea in my head, and once I put it to paper, it took on a life of its own. I like to think, and frequently state, that writers are historians of alternate universes. I believe that somewhere, somewhen, this story is actually happening, and that is why the writer has one idea, and the story takes on a life of its own.

I never planned on Emmaline being much of a center-role for the story, but she has consumed the sequel to NOTB, and I love so much about her. Torga, another character you’ll meet, was also not planned, but he is one of my favorites. I like that Natalsa feels real, as a male-writer, it’s difficult to ever know if I’m writing the opposite-sex correctly, but with Natalsa I don’t have that worry. I know she’s flesh & bone.

In short, this is what makes my favorite parts of this story, and I hope you get a chance to discover them too.
