One of the most frequent questions I am asked as an author is what inspired me to write The Rite of Wands . I have always found that question interesting because when you think about it, inspiration is different for everyone. It may be a memory, a character from a book, song lyrics, a political speech, a TV series, or even an actor’s performance. Pure imagination is in all of us—we only need to discover it, and sometimes storytelling helps. Inspiration can come to us in any shape or form; you never know what or who may inspire you. Mackenzie Flohr and BHC Press are pleased to announce the upcoming release of The Rite of Wands in hardcover! In this special edition of the first book in the award winning young adult series, The Rite of Wands , releasing November 11, 2017, readers will be enchanted by a brand new short-story never before published!
