Episode 10 of the Inspiring Adventure podcast, this week Rae is joined by the award winning YA author Sarah Mussi.

Sarah grew up in the Cotswolds and spent fifteen years in West Africa, so she\\u2019s no stranger to adventure and exploration. She writes thrillers and fantasy for both children and young adults, and she and her books have received much acclaim: second place in the BBC Worldwide Children\\u2019s Talent Fiction Award, the Glen Dimplex Children\\u2019s Book of the Year, and shortlisted for both the Branford Boase Award and the Lewisham Book Award. We\\u2019re eagerly awaiting the publication of Sarah\\u2019s next book, Here Be Wizards, which will complete the Snowdonia Chronicles. This trilogy follows Ellie Morgan\\u2019s adventures in the remote and mythical Snowdonian landscape; the search for true love, battles of good and evil, spells and potions, dragons, legends and the Fae lands.

Here be Wizards is due out on 6 February, so do grab the chance to pre-order for a 20% discount by heading to shrinebell.com or v-publishing.co.uk before next week!
