Interview with Aurora Winter, Author of The Secret Multiverse Academy (Magic Mystery and the Multiverse Book 2)
What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Secret Multiverse Academy (Magic Mystery and the Multiverse Book 2)?
Ever since I read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, I have wanted to write a fantasy book. That book made me want to be a better person simply by reading it. I loved that the hero, Lucy, was a girl and that she had complicated relationships with her siblings. Just like me.
How did you come up with the idea?
As a child, I suffered terribly with asthma and was hospitalized when I couldn’t breathe. Now, as an adult, I champion environmental causes and free speech. I weaved these passions into a tale that challenges readers to cherish what we often overlook: health, clean air, free expression, and the unbreakable bonds between siblings.
How did you create the characters?
I wanted to create two unique and contrasting heroes. Zackary is a pessimist recovering from cancer and makes an unlikely—and therefore even more delightful—hero. His sister, Ana, is an optimist. In surprising ways, they both get what they want as they have their first marvelous adventure in this Multiverse.
Is this a good gift for young adults?
Absolutely! While many books aimed at young adult readers contain content that is explicit, mean-spirited, or dystopian, this is a fantasy series that parents and teachers can confidently share with tween and teen readers. Magic, Mystery and the Multiverse shines a light on important social issues worthy of discussion. It showcases the value of courage, love, loyalty, family, and friendship.
Do you have any tips for authors?
As you’re writing your book, think about books that have inspired you, traumatic experiences that shaped you, and things that you care deeply about. Consider who your ideal reader is and write for that specific audience. Write every day. Most of all, don’t forget to enjoy the process!

Interview with Charlene Williams, Author of The Alchemy of Bridges
What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Alchemy of Bridges?
I had a vision of a scene; a depressed, desperate man wandering to Coney Island. It was started as a short story but I found that I wanted to expand on the two characters and give them more life and a connection.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Alchemy of Bridges, what would they be?
"Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon & Garfunkel.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
Paranormal / Supernatural / Mystery / Detective.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Wrong Place, Wrong Time / The Nest / You Like it Darker.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
The entire epilogue. It was fun to bring it all together and then I had fun writing the second half of the epilogue, although I can't give away why!
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
If it's daytime, it must be coffee in my Hogwarts mug. If it's nighttime, it must be green tea in my Paris mug.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Whatever you're going to do, do it now.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
That it's possible to change and that one person can definitely make a difference.
