Hello bookworms! Today I have the privilege of sitting down with author Stefanie Santone. She's just published a book called "Tangled Magic" - and it's the first book in a new urban fantasy mystery series.

In Part 1 of my interview, the chaos runs strong: In this fun and wide-ranging episode, Stefanie shares her writing journey—from being inspired by Star Wars to crafting magical stories of her own. We talk about everything from reading and writing to our favorite shows like Star Wars and Star Trek. We explore how she handles bad reviews, pets, and writing tips for new authors. Then we end part 1 chatting about the differences of viewing stories with enthusiasm vs criticism.

Stay tuned for Part 2 coming out next week - we dig deep into a more serious topic and explore mental health and how it impacts creativity. You won't want to miss it!
