Is it possible that fantasy fiction can help us to process real-world challenges?

Best-selling author of The Black Witch Chronicles, Laurie Forest joins us to discuss this through the lens of her series, The Black Witch Chronicles.

In a timely discussion that was recorded before the resurgence of book banning, Zoya and Laurie deep dive into a chat about:

• How prejudice in the fight for civil unions and marriage equality was a catalyst for The Black Witch Chronicles
• Religion, including Wicca, and Paganism
• The sentience of trees and establishing a connection with Nature
• Young women and their access to books on sexuality and consent
• The potential and resistance to fantasy fiction in childhood education
• Laurie’s next book in The Black Witch Chronicles, The Demon Tide, released on March 1, 2022
• …and much more!

The Black Witch Chronicles series order:

1. Wandfasted (prequel)
2. The Black Witch
3. Light Mage (novella)
4. The Iron Flower
5. The Shadow Wand
6. The Demon Tide
7. The Battle for Erthia (working title)

*The Rebel Mages is a combination of Wandfasted (book 0.5) and The Light Mage (Book 1.5)
