In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Nova McBee discusses her latest book, Calculated, which will appeal to readers both young and old who enjoy mission-impossible-type stories. Nova blended several sources of inspiration to write this book. She was living in Asia, was reading Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo, and, due to the nature of her work at that time, Nova had attended a number of meetings regarding the issue of human trafficking. She felt inspired to start writing a story that blended these ideas, locations and issues, and Calculated was born. The story involves a math prodigy, high stakes intrigue and fast-paced action. Calculated, is the first book in the series, and the second book, Simulated, will be available in May 2021. In this episode, Nova discusses her writing journey, how challenging it was for her to write about a math prodigy when she isn’t one herself, and why, even though she was surrounded by books and writers her whole life, she never thought about writing her own stories until the age of twenty-eight.

It is the first book in a new series about a young girl who discovers a mysterious island off the coast of South Carolina, an island full of mythical beasts and darker dangers.

Her first is a series of "Joshua" books: Joshua and the Lightning Road and Joshua and the Arrow Realm. Donna has always been a writer, ever since she was a kid, and her books for young readers are inspired by the stories she made up for her son when he was little. In this episode, Donna discusses her writing journey, how the setting plays an important role in her Unicorn Island series, and why she thinks middle grade books make for the perfect blend of childhood magic and young adult seriousness.
