In this episode, we're joined by Emily Renk Hawthorne, author of the YA fantasy mystery duology Of Mountains and Seas and From the Depths, which was released on June 9th. Emily shares with us about the inspiration for her books, how Chinese mythology is represented through her characters and storytelling, and how exposure to fantasy novels as a child has influenced her writing today.

In a world filled with magic, shifters fight to maintain their secrecy among the statics (non-shifters). Of Mountains and Seas and From the Depths explores consequences of pursuing power and the impact that is felt across multiple generations.
