After Mortal Realm Witch Companion book 2, which the events here take place after their first two stories in "Heroes United" but before the final one, which is actually titled "Heroes United". Then for all the heroes in "Heroes United" "The Battle of Ebulon" takes place after the events in "Heroes United".Tell us a little bit about yourself as an author. Why do you write? What got you into writing?Part of what got me into writing was that sometimes I would have trouble finding a book I wanted to read. I would know exactly what I wanted to read about and when I didn't find this I would write it myself. Later writing became a way to entertain myself during lunchtime at other boring times at school. Now I write because the ideas haven't stopped and because it's just something I love to do.Tell us a little bit about your character(s) who answer Ebulon’s call for help. Where do they come from? What is their world like? What about King Yadi’s plea convinces them to join the battle?Many of my characters, DWW, Turtle, Black Cat, Chihuahua, Star Power, Trixie, Miles, Cosmo, Spy Girl, Wonder Wolf, Wonder Horse, and Trillman are all from our world, which is known to them as the Mortal Realm. Sampson, Trom, Asantra, Screetche, and Grizzly Girl all come from a world, which like the Mortal Realm is actually a Realm known as the Other Realm which mirrors ours very closely. The main exception is that all worlds are directly connected to the Other Realm and the Other Realm is a place of magic. While mortals live in the Mortal Realm, often witches, warlocks and their familiars live in the Other Realm. It wasn't too long ago that Asantra discovered that the Mortal Realm does have connections to worlds. Although sometimes called worlds, witches refer to them as dimensions, alternate realities, or alternate Earths. Screetche and Grizzly Girl come from two of the worlds in the Other Realm. Before living in the Mortal Realm with Asantra as her familiar, Screetche lived on an island known as X Island. The island itself is located in the World of Islands in the Other Realm. Just as it sounds the world is made up of many different islands. X Island is named this because the island is shaped like an X. Many of the animals there also have an X shaped marking somewhere on their bodies. Grizzly Girl comes from the World of Shape Shifters in the Other Realm. Although she has the power to change from human to grizzly bear and back again, there are many other types of shape shifters where she lives. All shape shifters in her world have one dominant form, so while Grizzly Girl's is human, another shape shifter with the same powers may prefer to be a bear rather than human. Besides human-animal shape shifters and animal-human ones, there are also animal-animal ones, such as wolf-dog, or lion-tiger, or even horse-bat. In this world, the possibilities are almost endless. Most of Heroes United answered  the call simply because as superheroes they consider it their duty to answer any request for help. Asantra just wanted to go because she loves adventure and she herself was a superhero once. Screetche comes because he is Asantra's loyal familiar and takes his duties to her seriously. DWW goes because she feels having a good relationship with Ebulon will help her one day accomplish her goal of uniting all Realms and worlds. Turtle feels the same as DWW but also has an alternate reason for joining the battle. Trillman, long ago made a decision that he would never again leave DWW and he is also duty bound as her familiar to come unless DWW were to tell him otherwise. Sampson went because he loves battle. Any chance to use his powers is a chance he is going to take, especially now that he isn't really supposed to have his powers in the first place.What intrigued you to take part in this collaboration?It just sounded like it would be a lot of fun to do.What about this collaboration was the most fun? Least fun?Definitely creating another adventure with my characters. And especially figuring out how everything would work so that the rules of magic and everything stayed true to my series, as well as figuring out why my characters may have been chosen in the first place.What was least fun for me was the ending. I have never been really good at ending my stories. I never really know if I am wrapping up too soon or not, and with this one I didn't know where anyone else was ending theirs so I wasn't sure if mine was going to fit in right or not.Where can we learn more about your book(s)?
