Author Interview

What was the inspiration behind The Girl Without Magic?

After writing The Tethering series, in which the Siren's Realm is briefly visited, several readers expressed a wish for an entire series to be placed in that world. It was a great idea, so I ran with it!

The Siren's Realm is a place linking magical worlds together, which gave me the opportunity to create a series in which my characters could visit amazing lands. Think of this as a fantasy version of the world-hopping concept. Readers who love Doctor Who and magic will have a great time discovering adventure in new magical worlds in every book in this series.

What did you enjoy about writing the character of Maggie Trent?

Maggie is a strong female who is constantly thrown into impossible situations. She is caring and capable, she has seen fighting and death, but ultimately, she has still protected this tiny shred of hope that carries her through. As she visits alternate worlds, as she battles new foes, as she learns to survive in the Siren's Realm, she still believes that there are people and places worth saving. And that takes an incredible amount of strength.
