Last night, I had the honor of interviewing Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, the authors of Beautiful Creatures and Beautiful Darkness (Book 1 & 2 in the Caster Chronicles) during the live Las Comadres & Friends National Latino Book Club Teleconference I told you about here. It was recorded and will be available online soon but in the meantime I wanted to share with you the things I learned:
- Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, both revere Fahrenheit 451, which is also one of my favorites.
- They never intended for their story to be published, never mind having a movie adaptation of it.
- The real message they want to empower their young readers with is to claim yourself, to stand in your own power – it’s okay to be different.
- Their books have now been published in over 38 countries.
- They both own ereaders. Although Margaret collects physical books.
- One of Kami’s ancestors was a Confederate soldier in the Civil War.
- Writing from a narrative from a male’s POV wasn’t very challenging for them since they both had male siblings and were “tomboyish” growing up, although Kami claims they still haven’t quite grown up yet.
- Margaret cried when she first held a copy of Beautiful Creatures and Kami thought they were being punked when they were told about the movie rights being sold.
- The Caster Chronicles will total four books, the third, Beautiful Chaos comes out in October but is already available for pre-order.
- For those of you who can’t wait till then, a short story prequel to “Beautiful Chaos,” titled “Dream Dark: A Beautiful Creatures Story,” will be available as an e-book exclusive download on August 2! It focuses more on the story of Link, who is Ethan Wate’s best friend in the Chronicles.
I hope you will have a chance to listen to full interview when it’s up!
