Writing a World Full of Witches

My guest author this week is Lexi Witcher, whose name is more than appropriate as she writes a series of Young Adult novels about witches and warlocks. The covers of her books are alluring, and her stories about old curses and magic are intriguing. There are three books to her series so far. Read about how she has created a setting and storyline that easily allows her to write book after book.


Lexi Witcher:

     When writing a story we all create a world of some kind as part of our story setting. Whether the author creates a world for a one-book story or several stories tied together, allowing the author to go further in depth with the world building, this concept is very important in our story creation. I’ve done that with my Dodie Jenks Novels. My characters in this series are mortals, witches, warlocks, and seers.

     You may ask did I do research when building this series and the answer is yes. I did find out that a warlock is not a male witch but a witch who is without a coven, and I used the information as a dilemma for the hero, Leopold. His goal in helping Dodie in book one is so he can once again be accepted by his coven. In book two that goal changes, but in book three that goal resurfaces. I also did research on symbols and meanings, aura colors, and I watched television programs dealing with witchcraft, magic, curses, etc. Netflix can be an author’s best friend. I also read books by other authors on the subject to see how they handled witchcraft in their stories.

      So far I have a trilogy planned, but I am open to there being another book or two in my series. The first two books have already been released. Book one is Bittersweet Sixteen and it touches on the surface of a 300 year old curse. It introduces the reader to the history behind the curse and the ramifications that the cursed experienced over the years. In book two, Twisted Sixteen, the reader experiences along with Dodie what happens when she tries to break the curse. And in book three, Wicked Sixteen, (which will be released next year) the reader will find out more about Bernadette’s curse and how Dodie attempts to completely break it. Will she? You’ll have to read the series to find out.
