“I loved the idea of secret worlds, anything where another parallel universe of magical creatures lived. Especially a secret world that can be accessed by rage or loneliness. I loved the idea that magic existed, but we just didn’t always notice it. Actually, let’s be honest, I still love that idea. I continue to believe magic is real somewhere and we just have to find it. I felt the same way about C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia. Some part of me is always opening closets and expecting another land to be on the other side.”↗
