Deva Fagan (she/her) is the author of Rival Magic, Nightingale, Circus Galacticus and other books for young readers. She lives in Maine with her husband and her dog. When she’s not writing she spends her time reading, playing video games, doing geometry, and drinking copious amounts of tea. We recently read and loved her most recent novel, The Mirrorwood, and were thrilled to get the chance to interview her about favorite characters, inspiration, and more! Rapunzel Reads: The Mirrorwood's characters are phenomenal and all strikingly unique--I particularly loved Lyrian and Vycorax, who always did what I least expected them to in the best possible way. Do you have a favorite character? If so, why are they your favorite? Deva Fagan: I’m so glad you loved the characters and that they surprised you! They surprised me too sometimes! The most fun character to write was definitely Moth, the talking cat. I love cats but sadly I’m allergic and thus have never had a cat of my own (I do have a lovely and adorable dog though!). So in a way, writing about Moth was a chance to have a cat of my own without sneezing my nose off! | Author photo credit: Paul Van Der Werf |
