Her life is anything but mundane as she lives in a rented room in her father’s home in the village of Kiamika, a magical society hidden from mortals who would persecute them for their gifts. For many years, Kiarra has lived across the lake from Kasy Sheridan, a girl who has led a life vastly different from her own. They both have been accepted to attend the magical Hollow Institute for Gifted Young Women. During this time, their lives become intertwined as they study magical theory and learn rituals that will change their view of magic and give them insight into the mystery of dying familiars. Kiarra wonders if she will be able to uphold her mother’s legacy of helping to save the world. She and her friends are faced with that challenge when they encounter the evil Feuer, a vampire-demon hybrid. What chance do these teens, with just one year of magical training, have against creatures who are more than three hundred years old?

 With his ship crippled and his crew dead, Jarl Hawkins fights for survival in space as his dying spaceship, the Cassiopeia, drifts out of control. But there is nothing he can do, and his own death is certain. Oddly enough, rescue comes in the form of an old wizard named Kvasir, who offers Jarl his chance at a new life on Vanir, a planet unlike anything Jarl has ever encountered. There, the King fights his rivals for control of his kingdom, wild nomads roam the northern Ghost Plains, wizards and witches use magic, and an all-powerful church viciously suppresses independent thought through prison, torture, and fire. Once on Vanir, Jarl befriends the Kettlewand Rangers and is drawn into a war that he doesn’t truly understand. Separated from Kvasir, he patrols with the Rangers, witnesses the murder of a Ghost Raider, and travels to Tyr, the capital city, to locate Kvasir or another wizard. But he instead finds himself on the wrong side of the Church, and his modern weapons are taken from him and he is imprisoned for being a sorcerer. Once inside the prison, however, he finds a friend and protector, a samurai-like warrior. After a pardon from the king himself, Jarl and his new friend returns to Tyr and makes a startling—and dangerous—discovery: a translated Vanir bible. Determined to break the church’s hold on the citizens, Jarl begins to print the bible, infuriating the church leaders. His time on Vanir becomes even more dangerous, and it is only with the King’s protection that he and his printing company can survive. But Kvasir is still missing, and without the help of the old wizard, Jarl is powerless to make his way back into space.

What part of the writing process is the easiest/hardest for you? 

I don’t see writing as a “process”. A process is where you follow steps 1 through 5 and you get a result “A”. Following those 5 steps will give you “A” each time. Writing doesn’t work that way for me. Its messy and disorderly—you’re creating. The routine or orderly part is writing everyday. That said, all the parts some days are easy and some days are hard. I never know what it’s going to be. Some days getting the story down goes quickly, other days its painful and really hard work. Editing can follow the same route sometimes is hard and very disconnected, at other times words and sentences seem to almost correct themselves.

If you could pick one thing from your book that you want people to take away from it, what would it be? 

That life is a journey no matter where you’re at in your current circumstances. Being well is more important that almost anything else in life.

Where did the idea for your book come from? 

The idea came about quite some time ago. My wife and I were returning to the movies after being on a movie hiatus for a number of years in raising a young family. We went to see Titanic on the big screen in early 1998. During the movie, I became fascinated with the idea of someone getting up from what they were doing and chasing a dream. I started writing the next day.

Was there a lot of research involved in writing your book? 

There is a lot of background information in the book but it wasn’t like I sat down and did a lot of “research” per se.

Do you listen to music while you write (if so, do you have a playlist I can share?), or do you prefer quiet? 

It’s usually the mood I find myself in when I’m writing or editing. Sometimes music works, other times I prefer quiet.


Douglas Gardham is a writer who loves music, movies, and books. He lives near Toronto, Canada, with his wife and dog. This is his first published novel.

How I Come Up with Story Ideas

I write adventures for kids, and I have to confess that the main idea for my Night Buddies series came directly and unbidden from a real kid, my six-year-old son John.
I read to him every night for many years—it was a regular thing with us. One night when I was done reading and John wanted more, I suggested he invent a lights-out companion to go off to sleep with. Within a day or two, there was Crosley the crocodile, complete with goofy name and bright-red color. I was hooked.
John and I started throwing Crosley ideas around and making up episodes. This went on for a year or more, until it got to the point where Crosley became an important member of our family. Then it dawned on me that there might be a sure-enough book in there somewhere. I hadn’t really invented anything; it was already sitting right there in my lap.
So I took John’s idea and ran with it. It was like a magic bean I kept sticking in the ground, and it kept sprouting things. Maybe this is how the business works . . . at least how it works for me. Keep your story antennae out for something promising, and when you think you’ve found it, turn it over and over and poke it and peek inside it, and hopefully it will sprout something.
Go find something interesting to start on and work with that. It may be out there in the world, or it may be already inside your head, but use it as a springboard. Don’t try to turn on some “idea switch” and conjure something out of nothing. I doubt you’ll conjure much that way. And if you get stuck, shove a notepad in your pocket and take a long walk like Dickens would late at night. As long as you’re keeping yourself open to new ideas, I guarantee one will come to you!




Sands Hetherington, the creator of Night Buddies series of chapter books, credits his son John for being his principal motivator. Sands and young John developed the Crosley crocodile character in the series during months of bedtime story give-and-take. They collaborated many nights on escapades starring John and Crosley, until eventually it occurred to Sands why it was that Crosley was bright red. That was when the first book came together.

 Sands raised his son as a single parent from the time John was six. He read to him every night during those formative years: all of the classic children’s stories from Aesop through the Grimms, Lewis Carroll, Frank Baum, Tolkien and Dahl, with a lot of Dickens and Hugo thrown in. When school was out they got in the car and toured Alaska, Canada and most of the contiguous states. John still gets around. So far he has lived in Germany, Scotland, Russia, England and Spain.

 Dogs have always been a part of the author’s life, beginning with Whiskers, a cocker spaniel. When his wonderful boxer Hube died, he despaired of finding a boxer who could match him, and instead got a Saint Bernard. He ended up breeding Saints for a number of years and at this point has had twelve as house pets. Sands says dogs can do you a power of good, and if you lose one, go out and get another the next day and you will be surprised at how fast your grief goes away.

 Sands is also a Civil War buff. He would like to spend a month of evenings with common soldiers from both sides to see how they felt about the business. And eccentric generals like Jackson, Sherman and Forrest, and most of all Lincoln. Because Lincoln never gets to smile in his pictures.

 The author was born in New York City but was transplanted a year later to Greensboro, North Carolina, where his maternal grandmother lived. He never really left the area and has a lot of the South in him. His grandmother was a prominent educator and became a great friend and mentor.

 Sands majored in history at the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) and has an M.F.A. in creative writing and an M.A. in English from UNC-Greensboro. He lives in Greensboro now, and hangs out with his longtime friend Ann and their Saint Bernards Dudley and Maggie. He likes visiting ancient Mediterranean sites in Turkey and Italy, and most of all Greece.
