Samaire Wynne, author of "Titania Academy 1: Faerie Misborn"

Stephen H. Provost

Samaire Wynne’s latest series, Titania Academy, has proven extremely popular. It’s her latest, but not her first. The author has previously written two other series: the zombie-thriller Mad World trilogy, and the Paladin Princess saga, a magical fantasy series that includes four books so far. She is also the author of Romanov, a standalone vampire adventure and romance. She sat down recently to answer a few questions about the first book in her Tatania Academy series, Faerie Misborn.
