    Rereads, Sex Scenes, and Overcoming Self-doubt

    L.L. Campbell, author of Hand-Fasting and Other Hazards and the Tricky Magic series, opens up about her writing process, what she’s currently working on, and how rereading her Tricky Magic series has helped her embrace the story and navigate imposter syndrome.  L.L. Campbell is the author of the Tricky Magic series; home to your favorite shadow daddy and one seriously badass witch. And her newest book, Hand-Fasting and Other Hazards, a witchy romance set in Stars Hollow type town, except both main characters are witches who wake up accidentally married. She grew up in the spooky corners of Massachusetts and now lives in Florida with her forever fiancé, Chris, their land hippo Sasha, and the ghosts of their favorite furkids. A witch with too many stories and not enough time, she’s always daydreaming about new characters and the chaotic worlds they belong to. If she’s not writing, she’s probably reorganizing a playlist or pretending to be normal in public.
