Cami Murdock Jensen is the author of the Arch Mage Series, a complete five-book YA fantasy multiverse adventure. She writes about people the world has counted out — and what they discover they’re capable of when no one is watching.
The Arch Mage Series didn’t begin in a notebook. It began on walks.
When Cami’s daughter was diagnosed with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and chronic migraines, the illness brought deconditioning that made everything harder. To fight back, they started walking together — short distances at first, often painful, always difficult. To make it through, they talked. They invented a girl who understood what it felt like to live inside a body that didn’t cooperate: a protagonist who faced her challenges Cami Murdock Jensen is the author of the Arch Mage Series, a complete five-book YA fantasy multiverse adventure.

The Arch Mage Series didn’t begin in a notebook. It began on walks.
When Cami’s daughter was diagnosed with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and chronic migraines, the illness brought deconditioning that made everything harder. To fight back, they started walking together — short distances at first, often painful, always difficult. To make it through, they talked. They invented a girl who understood what it felt like to live inside a body that didn’t cooperate: a protagonist who faced her challenges not after overcoming her illness, but while still carrying it, every single day.
Those conversations became the Arch Mage Series.
Agnes Cavanaugh is that girl. She is sixteen, a burn survivor from Massachusetts, chronically ill from neuropathy, and the only wizard on a planet that banned magic 5,000 years ago. Her power is unlike anything in the wizarding world’s history — and it is perfectly, stubbornly her own. In a multiverse full of deception, that makes her the most dangerous person in any room.
Alongside Agnes is Temnon Odonata — arch mage of First Earth, possessor of an extraordinary and rare gift, and the one person whose honesty might match her own. The road across five worlds is long. So is the slow burn.
Agnes’s neuropathy is never magically resolved. Her scars are never erased. She saves the multiverse anyway. That was always the point — and it came directly from watching a real girl find her strength one step at a time.
Cami grew up in Spanish Fork, Utah with two obsessions that seemed unrelated: science and storytelling. As a senior in high school she won the Sterling Scholar in science and cloned DNA at the state level. One year later she wrote and composed the score for her first children’s musical. She has spent her adult life teaching, directing, writing, and composing — and never stopped believing that the most powerful stories are the ones that make someone feel less alone.
She lives in Utah with six children and a husband who is a much better hero than any prince, and who also handles her marketing, which may be the most heroic thing of all. ...more

“Interplanetary Public Speaking? Kill Me Now”

“Signs never lie. Legends never die. Quandaries are stilled, when visions are filled.” Temnon, Nemantia, and I stood there, not knowing how to respond. “Uh,” I stammered, “is that a part of the Seer’s vision?” “Gracious, no,” Maudine tittered. “I made that up myself. But it sounds deliciously legendary, doesn’t it?”
― Cami Murdock Jensen, Second Earth: A YA Fantasy Adventure to the Planet's Core

“Sometimes you open your mouth and your dad comes out. He always worried about others and blamed himself for everything. Sweetheart, my trials, my pain, my grief—they are for me. They’re not yours to bear. You have enough on your shoulders without taking on my problems. I’m an adult. I should have gotten myself out of there.”
