Interview with H.Y. Hanna, Author of A Witch Worth Praline For (Bewitched by Chocolate Mysteries Book 8)

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write A Witch Worth Praline For (Bewitched by Chocolate Mysteries Book 8)?

This series is "Chocolat" meets Agatha Christie meets "Practical Magic”, it's inspired by my love of myths and legends. This particular book is the first of the 2-part series finale - the culmination of the series arc: the heroine came to England searching for her real family, discovered an enchanted chocolate shop, and that she's decended from a long line of witches. Now, she might be about to find her mother at last and learn why she was abandoned as a baby...

What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Mystery and suspense with a hint of romance! Yes, although the books I write are officially classified as "cozy mystery", they feature all 3 elements + lots of humour and quirky characters!

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

A mix of destination mysteries (I love those!), psychological thrillers and Nordic noir + several YA fanatasy & dystopian novels (my guilty pleasure!)

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

I love writing any scene with Viktor, the ancient vampire who is always searching for his lost fangs!

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

I DO often end up having my cat Muesli on my lap but not because I want it!! She is just very insistent and will jump up uninvited and wedge herself between my body and the desk, forcing me to type awkwardly over her... it's very annoying, actually! But anyone with a cat will know that they are masters at getting their own way. 😉

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

"Reach for the moon - even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

The quirky world of the series with its "chocolate magic" and grumpy old vampires who shapeshift into adorable fuzzy fruitbats!
