The Apprentus follows the chosen Virago as she trains in China to protect twin-gift Emi and Noah from evil forces. What was the inspiration for the setup to this exciting story?

Well if I am being honest the Gold family is my family. That’s right, There is a Michael, Misty, Makenna, Emi and Noah. There last name however, is Michael Bialys. Obviously it’s best to write what you know about and I know about these people quite a bit.

The entire concept of the book evolved when Misty and I Got pregnant with our 2nd daughter Emi and soon after Noah. Makenna was about 7 at the time. I knew that to newborn babies were gonna monopolise a lot of our time but I didn’t want Makenna to feel less loved or special that’s when I started writing a short story about their being their protector and it evolved form their.

Makenna is an intriguing and well developed character. What were some driving ideals behind the characters development?

I took most of the inspiration for Makenna the character from my daughter Makenna. I wanted her to feel real to the readers especially to the readers her age I needed to voice her and make her very legitimate and believable and inspirational. As I was writing her character I would just observe her and voice her accordingly.

What were some themes that were important for you to focus on in this book?

I think the most important thing that I wanted to come through in the book is love of family and the strength it brings.

This is book two in your Chronicles of the Virago. What can readers expect in book three?

Great Question!! Book 3 is about 5 minutes away from being released and I am very excited about it all I can tell you is it’s going to be more action more characters more fun. And you won’t have much longer to wait especially because book 2 leaves on a major cliffhanger and we have to get that issue resolved.
