I was wondering if you could suggest a good fantasy series? At almost 300 books I've read my fav authors books, new releases, recommendations,&whatever else I can find down the Goodreads rabbit hole. I adore fantasy novels but after reading so many it's hard to find something new w/a strong female lead. One of the things I enjoy about your stories are the women are strong and so are the storylines.

Awww, I'm ridiculously touched that you enjoy my novels for the female leads. Growing up as a reader that was always something I looked for when buying books. Love me some courageous women.
And I can absolutely recommend some favorite series of mine (word of caution--these recommendations as a whole tend to be more paranormal than fantasy)! Alright, here goes: Anything by Kresley Cole will be amazing; she has a really long paranormal romance series, Immortals After Dark, which I absolutely adore--and I love her YA/NA crossover series, Poison Princess, which is post-apocalyptic but has several fantasy elements. I'm just now getting into Ilona Andrews' books, and my god have I been missing out! The Kate Daniels series is sooooo good. This series is more paranormal mystery/thriller, but there's a slow burn romance throughout the series which has me hooked. If you want more hardcore fantasy, definitely check out Laini Taylor's Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy. That series was downright enchanting and it gave me all the feels. Amy Bartol's Kricket series is amazing--it's more scifi than fantasy, but still definitely worth picking up. For new adult paranormal romance/fantasy, check out Scarlett Dawn's Forever Evermore series. If you like shapeshifters, Rachel Vincet's Shifter series has a kickass female lead. If you like yourself vamps, several years ago I was obsessed with Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse novels.
There are tons more books that I'm sure I'm forgetting, but these ones I wholly stand by! Hope that helps! Happy reading! <3

Hello, I've just started the audio for Bewitched and was curious where did you get the idea for Memnon's name? When I first heard his name I instantly thought of the spirit "Manon" who was invoked in The Craft movie, was that an influence? How did you come up with the idea for this story?
