Today I am chatting with New York Times Bestselling author Susan Dennard! Susan is the author of the Witchlands series as well as The Luminaries series. Today, Susan and I are chatting about book two in her Luminaries series, The Hunting Moon. Take a listen as Susan and I chat about Susan's writing process, world-building, character development, and all the Nightmares who live in Hemlock Falls...The entire episode is spoiler-free!A little about The Hunting Moon...Winnie Wednesday has gotten everything she thought she wanted. She passed the deadly hunter trials, her family has been welcomed back into the Luminaries, and overnight, she has become a local celebrity.The Girl Who Jumped. The Girl Who Got Bitten.Unfortunately, it all feels wrong. For one, nobody will believe her about the new nightmare called the Whisperer that's killing hunters each night. Everyone blames the werewolf, even though Winnie is certain the wolf is innocent.On top of that, following her dad's convoluted clues about the Dianas, their magic, and what happened in Hemlock Falls four years ago is leaving her with more questions than answers.Then to complicate it all, there is still only one person who can help her: Jay Friday, the boy with plenty of problems all his own.As bodies and secrets pile up around town, Winnie finds herself questioning what it means to be a true Wednesday and a true Luminary―and also where her fierce-hearted loyalties might ultimately have to lie.A special thank you to Susan Dennard for chatting with me today!

Episode 8 of the podcast features amazing author Susan Dennard! We talk about her newest book SIGHTWITCH, along with the creative process, what's coming up in the next book, hot kisses, and more! PLUS an amazing giveaway: all three of the Witchlands books!!! Be sure to click on the link for your chance to enter! http://ow.ly/B71n30iQ375
We start off with a debate on whether or not "y'all" should be used by everyone. Spoiler alert: It should. Susan Dennard gives us her elevator pitch for the Witchlands series. We find out where the idea for the series came from and what a typical writing day looks like for Susan. Susan shares her writing process and what the publication process is like for her. We chat about what it was like to go back to the beginning with Sightwitch and Susan shares some fun secrets. Susan tells us her favorite part about writing in the YA Fantasy genre--and the most difficult parts. We find out if there were any scenes cut in Sightwitch and who she would introduce her characters to if she could introduce them to any other author's characters. Susan tells us two truths and a lie about herself, and we have to guess which is the lie. We're still losers.
