On the Wings of Wishes: True Magic Still Lives follows a young girl and magic seeker who spends her days searching for enchantment and hunting fairies, convinced that magic is the only thing that can solve her problems. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

It actually just began as a colorful picture of an old village in England. There was so much color and magic that I felt I would cheat it’s value if I didn’t write a description. The story just seemed to evolve from there.

Was there anything from your own life that you put into the characters in your story?

Yes and no. To be fair as a young adult and into middle age, I’ve always worked with kids. I’ve taught, tutored, worked in the public schools, day-cares and as a nanny. One hears so many things.

What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?

The most important scene for me was the one in which they are trapped in the lighthouse. While they are sitting there in desperation, the peace that Ash felt when she was in the church seems to wrap itself around her. She then knows that magic is real. She realizes that what she’s felt while sitting in the church stays within her.

Will there be a follow-up book on this story? If so, what aspects of the story will the next book cover?

No. I rarely do series books. I like to start each of my works with a clean slate.
