Blog Tour Stop: Character Casting the Johansen Family

September 20, 2015 By Keira Gillett

Greetings everyone! I’m over at Danissa’s wonderful blog, Booklandia, sharing my vision of the Johansen family from Zaria Fierce and the Secret of Gloomwood Forest. We also talk about character casting in general. Do you like it when an author does it or hate it? Be sure to join us and give us your thoughts!

Here’s some of the wonderful things Danissa said about Zaria Fierce’s first adventure to Norway.

Also, for me, Zaria Fierce is like the latest Disney’s little princess… but the kick ass version with cool sidekicks. I had fun reading the book and felt bad for myself for not picking it up sooner
