Hi Ms. McConaghy, I just wanted to say that your novel 'Migrations' absolutely blew my mind. I was wondering what the nature of your research was for the book? I imagine that all the research on birds and nautical navigation needed for the novel must have been interesting.
Charlotte McConaghy
Hi Anoushka, thank you! So glad you enjoyed the book. I did indeed do a lot of research on birds and fishing boats and life at sea, ocean currents and navigation and melting ice... It was fascinating, and in fact so rich that lots of it couldn't make it into the book. Mostly I read and read and read, but I do have a couple of scientist friends who were able to help me with the trickier bits.

I loved the Chronicles of Kaya. What I loved most is you didn't sacrificed your heroines' strength for the storyline. You were able to create strong heroines&strong storylines. I've read a lot of fantasy series' where the heroine was weak but powerful in magic for the storyline&as a woman is a bit disappointing. Please tell me you have another fantastical series in the works?
