So when I was trying to figure out what my next book would be about, I took the idea of a magical hotel and ran with it. It seemed like a great place to hide something magical. In a hotel, you sense that anyone could be here, anything could happen, and probably no one would bat an eye. They’re weird, contradictory, liminal places-luxurious, comfortable, but full of strangers going in and out. While on the road to promote my first book series, I stayed in a lot of hotels. How did the story of Havenfall come about? Was there anything in particular that sparked the inspiration for the book? With her uncle injured, Maddie has to take over the Inn and keep everyone calm while figuring out how to protect her home. Maddie has always wanted to succeed her uncle as Innkeeper someday, but the day comes too soon when a long-closed door to a world full of monsters opens unexpectedly and someone ends up dead. Sure! It’s the story of sixteen-year-old Maddie Morrow, who has never felt at home anywhere except at the inn in the Rocky Mountains her uncle runs, which is-unbeknownst to the world at large-sits on the intersection of three magical realms, and every summer plays host to a peace summit of delegates from all the realms. For those who many not yet be familiar with the premise of Havenfall, how would you describe it to them?
