Please give us a short introduction to what The Unexpected Enlightenment of Rachel Griffin is about.
When my son was small, I worked out a roleplaying game in which one could play a character at popular magic school. Just for fun, I peopled the dorms with characters from books and stories we loved. My friend Mark Whipple liked the game and made up a version of his own, peopling his version of the door with the teenage version of his favorites, TV characters, superheroes, etc.
My husband and I fell in love with his game. It had so many intriguing ideas and themes that we had not come upon before. I liked it so much, I decided to write it up as a series.
