Author Interview
1.) It’s almost Halloween, what is your favorite witch movie or
novel? I loved watching re-runs of
Bewitched on TV. I always wanted to
wiggle my nose like Samantha! I would love to clean up dirty dishes this
way. My favorite Halloween movie isn’t
really a witch one...I love the Legend of Sleepy Hollow in all its versions
over the years. What a classic timeless creepy story.
2.) What was the inspiration for your witch novella?
Rumplestiltskin. I love fairytales and
legends of all kinds and I like thinking of them in different ways. I began wondering what the story could be if
Stiltskin was a magical hero and he and the Miller’s daughter were in love.
3.)Tell us about your main character, white witch, dark witch or
something in-between? Lyra and Will possess a special kind of white
magic...they are able to transform one element into another...Alchemy. Lyra has
forgotten her magic but Will helps her find it.
4.) Do you believe in magic?
Yes. If you don’t the world is a dull place indeed. It may not be the
wiggle your nose or wand version, but magic is there and every once in awhile
it reaches out and touches us.
5.) What else should we know about your novella?
It is just the beginning to a bigger story. Will and Lyra’s story leads to another and
then back again. Nothing brings out magic more than love.
