After more than a year spent writing a dark, psychological thriller series, I was ready for a change. I used a pseudonym (AB Plum) and felt a little disoriented from writing about more than one psychopath in The MisFit Series).
In the meantime, the witches and warlocks kept whispering to me. And frankly, I began to rethink the whole idea of misfits in our world. Then I saw a magician on a cruise ship and magic started seeping into my consciousness. Somewhere in there, I saw The Wizard of Oz for the umpteenth time and read Wicked by Gregory Maguire.
A question popped in my head: What if the great-great-granddaughter of Dorothy Gale met and fell in love with The Uncrowned King of Right-Thinking Witches and Warlocks? Obviously with her witch-slayer's DNA, she's not going to be accepted by his kin. Just as obviously, her family won't care much for a warlock--even if he is of royal lineage.
Once I figured out Thea's black cat, Toto, offers the perfect way for Thea and Magnus to meet ... well, the story took off. The red shoes--in Weird Magic they're stilettos--appear on the first page. They offer an opportunity for lots of fun. And fun was what I wanted--no blood, no gore, no murders, hints of darkness, but nothing deeply psychological.
Here's what one reader says:
• "The dialog between the characters was funny and quick, as well as the mental thoughts and mental dialog."
