Magical Elements of the Periodic Table Presented By The Alchemical Wizards by Sybrina Durant

What inspired you to become an author?

I started trying my hand at writing as soon as I could read. I alwaysloved singing and reading poetry, so at first I only wrote song lyrics andpoetry. Before long, other types ofbooks caught my fancy. . .mainly fantasy. I’ve also always had an affinity forresearching and categorizing information. These are the things that ultimatelyled to my first book about a metal horn unicorn tribe in which each characterhad a magical power based on the metal of their horns. This was long beforecomputers so all of my research was done by hand from dictionaries andencyclopedias.

Do you have a specific writing style?

I’d say my specific writing style is educational fantasy. The work Idid on my unicorn fantasy story is what led to the idea of writing the first inmy series of illustrated periodic table books. I already had the beginningswith 12 unicorns ready to present 12 elements of the periodic table. I had previously decided that this book wouldbe laid out in alphabetical order so I only needed to come up with 14 moreunique unicorns and elements to complete the alphabet. How hard could it be, I thought… Turns out itwas quite a bit more difficult than I anticipated because not all letters ofthe alphabet are represented by an element. I had to get quite creative toaccount for all of the letters.

Do you write in different genres?

I do write in other genres but this book series has turned into aseveral year project so everything I’ve written in the past few years,including about 100 articles, have been about elements of the periodic table.As I mentioned, the first book in this series had Metal Horn Unicornspresenting 26 elements. Next, cameElemental Dragons presenting 26 elements, also in alphabetical order. Thiscurrent book features Alchemical wizards discussing more elements. In fact, there were so many elements to becovered by the wizards that I had to split them into 2 books. Book 2 will be out later this year. Afterthat, Actinide Knights and Radioactive Goblins will finish up the series.

If yes which is your favorite genre to write?

I love to write books that are illustrated because you can use thepictures in a thousand ways (like the previously mentioned articles) formarketing and promotion. For the Magical Elements of the Periodic Table seriesof books, I have used the graphics for creating memes for social media, the video shorts, activity pages to help withlearning and remembering about each element, trading cards for sharing withfriends, a bingo game, and even t-shirts. All of these can be found at https://www.magicalptelements.com. I’ve also utilized the pictures to puttogether special pages on the website where I’ve placed links to my research sothat readers can check my facts and learn more themselves.

Do you have a song or playlist (book soundtrack) thatyou think represents this book?

The theme song for all of the Magical Elements of the Periodic Tablebooks is called “No Metal – No Magic”. The lyrics for it feature the metal hornunicorns but it’s still applicable for all of the elementals. Their motto, after all, is No Metal – NoMagic. . . and No Technology. Think about that for a second. There literally wouldbe no modern life without the amazing gifts the elements have provided mankindover the years. The instrumental music for the song is the background music forall of the video shorts that I’ve, so far, created for the magical elementals.One day, I hope to have a video for each of the 118 elementals and the elementsthey represent.
