We sit down with author and veteran teacher Judith Husker to explore how a childhood of forts and frogs became a debut fantasy full of born ones, chasm guards, and a reluctant hero learning to trust himself. Along the way we talk craft, teaching, and why celebrating your own life is the bravest magic.

• Translating teaching into storytelling that feels real
• Writing process as a pantser and embracing surprise
• The Dreamer The Seeker world, magic systems, and stakes
• Kaori’s arc from insecurity to strength
• Villainy with purpose and creatures that raise the tension
• Themes of self-worth, identity, and belonging
• Easter eggs, cliffhangers, and a sequel in progress
• Practical encouragement for aspiring writers to just start
• Where to find the book on Amazon and Kindle
