T.A.C. Wilson Author InterviewLIGHT of the MAGOS: The Spark Within follows two teens living in a magical society who are from families that do not get along and have drastically different ideologies on the study of magic. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
It was a matter of deciding what elements I wanted to include. I knew I wanted magic, a young love story, and something to feud about. After that, the development of the two families came together.
Faith and Colby are from feuding families, but they do not let that stop them from building their own relationship. What was the inspiration for the relationship that develops between the characters?
I wanted to show that love can overcome hate. The two fathers, Lonnie and Wayne, still do not exactly like each other, but they have softened towards one another.
What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?
I wanted there to be a few different themes. I wanted love, having fun, helping someone in need despite feelings of dislike, and a crime that involved the CIA.
Will this novel be the start of a series or are you working on a different story?
This is the first of a series. I am almost finished with book one of another series, Rise of the Chosen, then I will start book two of this LIGHT of the MAGOS series.
