Hey, friends! I’m super excited to be sharing this post with you all! *throws pixie dust* One of my favorite authors, Kara Swanson, is releasing a new book in July!

I have a special treat for you this week! Today I’m interviewing Hope Ann, the author of Healer’s Bane, Shadowkeeper, and the Legends of Light series.

Using chocolate, she bribes a wide ring of spies, from the realm leapers of Aslaria to the double agents of Elkbend, for their stories. She thrives on frost, steel, and the tears of her readers which she secretly mixes…
