Seasons of Magic Interviews - Rebecca Quill

1) What Wiccan Sabbat are you writing about, and why were you drawn to it?

We are featuring Ostara, and it is enticing because it represents a time of balance, renewal, and the awakening of nature after winter. While winter is beautiful (Sian certainly thinks so), spring brings new life and an energy where you feel like you can accomplish anything.

2) Tell us about your story.

Our story is set in Saxonville and follows a novice witch and her accidental oopsie of a spell. Trying to bless her new endeavors, she accidentally magicks a love connection into the blessing. Recovering from a bad breakup, the last thing she needs is the attention of a super hot alpha werewolf, but with spring and her magick in the air, that’s exactly what she’s dealing with.

3) Did you learn anything interesting while researching your story?

We learnt a lot about the various kinds of herbs used for Ostara blessings and the things they are associated with. We also researched an actual house that was listed as our setting, which was fun. Sian learnt a lot about fated mates, which was a first for her.

4) If you could cast a spell (and hopefully it didn’t go wrong!), what spell would you cast?

Sian would cast an abundance spell. She gives in abundance, and it would be nice to receive in abundance. Toni would concentrate on health—many people need it.

5) What are you working on next?

As Rebecca Quill, we’re toying with the idea of turning this into a series. In the meantime, Sian is working on a contemporary romance (the third book in her Edgestone Parlor series as J.E. Black), and Toni is working on a NA fantasy series, which is the follow-on series to the Elemental Trilogy.  

 Rebecca Quill is a writing team comprising international best-selling fantasy author Toni Cox and international best-selling horror author Sian B. Claven.
Best friends, they decided that joining writing journeys was just the next step in their ever-evolving friendship.
When not on the phone with each other, Toni can be found lounging around with her husband, reading juicy paranormal stories, and crocheting while Sian is being held captive by her mad dog and two psycho cats, all while she tries to build Lego.
