Seasons of Magic Interviews - Andra Dill

1) What Wiccan Sabbat are you writing about and why were you drawn to it?
My story happens on the Wiccan Sabbat of Lammas/Lughnasadh. The fact that it’s celebrated in my birth month (August) makes this Sabbat special to me. And, as a fan of Patricia Briggs’ Mercedes Thompson series, I have a particular fondness for Lugh.


2) Tell us about your story
Although Evie Zaytsev comes from a line of healers, she’s only been able to access healing magic for a few years. In this story, she has the opportunity to develop and stretch her healing ability, but the small issue of liability insurance keeps her from realizing her dream. Evie’s primary magic is Illusion, and knowing that Lugh is a trickster god, she creates an illusion spell on Lughnasadh, that she hopes will get her past the insurance hurdle. Unfortunately, Lugh gets the last laugh with her spell.


3) Did you learn anything interesting while researching your story?
In addition to being a warrior and skilled craftsman—which I knew, I learned Lugh also has healing and sorcery skills. Which I thought aligned well with my story.


4) If you could cast a spell (and hopefully it didn't go wrong!) what spell would you cast?
If there was a spell granting me patience I’d cast it in a heartbeat!
​

5) What are you working on next?
I’m working on another Evie and Neviah story, which I hope to publish this fall.

When not daydreaming about plot lines and characters Andra practices yoga, reads voraciously, and drinks too much coffee. She loves road trips and going off on wild tangents. Andra writes in multiple genres—including but not limited to—urban fantasy, steamy romance, paranormal romance, and horror.
