Please welcome Cinda Willams Chima to GreenBeanTeenQueen! Cinda is the author of The Seven Realms Series which just released book three with The Gray Wolf Throne . The Seven Realms Series is one of the most talked about fantasy series at my library-seriously, my teens love it! They've been talking about it since book one, which made Mr. GreenBeanSexyMan and I both have to pick it up!

Seriously, if you work in a library that has avid fantasy readers, you need to add these books to your shelf! I'm happy to share her thoughts on writing magic-and hopefully this inspires all you aspiring fantasy writers out there!
