In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author C.M. Newell discusses her Unwanted series. The final installment of the series, Sacred (Book Three), was released earlier this year. This young adult fantasy series features a teenage girl who discovers she is not only descended from a long line of Wiccans, but she is the heir to their royal crown. Cassie wanted to write a fairytale that was not a damsel-in-distress story, but rather one where the female lead was on equal footing with her male counterpart. Finishing this series with Sacred was not simply the culmination of the character’s journey. Cassie also felt it was her own coming-of-age as a writer. In this episode, I’ll chat with Cassie about her writing journey, how she works as a writing coach to help other authors, and what it was like to undertake a rebranding of her work as she retired her pen name.
