Interview: This week, Mike and Mike chat with Kelley Armstrong about the eleventh novel in her Otherworld series, Waking the Witch.
She gives new readers pointers on where the best points to start reading the series (start with a new narrator!), and she talks about having Savannah “grow up” during the series and become a fully grown up and developed character (and witch) that can go out on her own investigations.
