Interview Olivia Boler

 Today we welcome Olivia Boler to my garden. I've added a few misters around to help battle the heat. Help yourselves to the goodies over under the pavilion, then find a seat and let's begin.

Mary: Where do you find your ideas? Does something trigger them? Do you carry around a notebook incase inspiration strikes?

Olivia: I find ideas everywhere, from articles in the newspaper to funny things my kids say. I do carry around a notebook or a pad of paper. I often get inspired while driving, which is tough because I can’t slow down—I'm sometimes late for whatever appointment or cutting it close. So I have to hold the idea in my head until I can pull over. It doesn’t always stay! Read the rest of the interview and author bio...

THE FLOWER BOWL SPELL

by Olivia Boler

Blurb:
Journalist Memphis Zhang isn’t ashamed of her Wiccan upbringing—in fact, she’s proud to be one of a few Chinese American witches in San Francisco, and maybe the world. Unlike the well-meaning but basically powerless Wiccans in her disbanded coven, Memphis can see fairies, read auras, and cast spells that actually work—even though she concocts them with ingredients like Nutella and antiperspirant. Yet after a friend she tries to protect is brutally killed, Memphis, full of guilt, abandons magick to lead a “normal” life.

The appearance, however, of her dead friend’s attractive rock star brother—as well as a fairy in a subway tunnel—suggest that magick is not done with her. Reluctantly, Memphis finds herself dragged back into the world of urban magick, trying to stop a power-hungry witch from using the dangerous Flower Bowl Spell and killing the people Memphis loves—and maybe even Memphis herself.

Praise for THE FLOWER BOWL SPELL:
"Olivia Boler's The Flower Bowl Spell is a genre-bending ride with sexy rock stars, Californian witches, children with potentially otherworldly gifts, and the occasional fairy. But it is also a story of identity, of the sometimes warring facets that make and shape a human being. Beautifully written, witty, and brimming with both ordinary and fantastical life, The Flower Bowl Spell will charm readers everywhere." -- Siobhan Fallon, author of You Know When the Men Are Gone
