Is it possible that fantasy fiction can help us to process real-world challenges?

Best-selling author of The Black Witch Chronicles, Laurie Forest joins us to discuss this through the lens of her series, The Black Witch Chronicles.

In a timely discussion that was recorded before the resurgence of book banning, Zoya and Laurie deep dive into a chat about:

  • How prejudice in the fight for civil unions and marriage equality was a catalyst for The Black Witch Chronicles
  • Religion, including Wicca, and Paganism
  • The sentience of trees and establishing a connection with Nature
  • Young women and their access to books on sexuality and consent
  • The potential and resistance to fantasy fiction in childhood education
  • Laurie’s next book in The Black Witch Chronicles, The Demon Tide, released on March 1, 2022
  • …and much more!

  1. Wandfasted (prequel)
  2. The Black Witch
  3. Light Mage (novella)
