Welcome to another episode, Crazy Fitness Guy Healthy Learn podcast. That's Ricoh motivation with Crazy Fitness Guy. Uh, today's Tuesday's guests are to USA TOday's best selling authors, Megan Linsky and Alicia Reyes. And I'm looking forward to talking to them because I've been reading their • Academy Magical Creatures book, and I am so addicted to this series. • • Uh, let's just say it's been a long time since I've read a series that has kept me up until • super late at night. And, yeah, uh, I wonder why I haven't been getting sleep, because I keep on wondering. I want to know what happens to the characters, and • it's literally torture when I go to bed. It's like, I need to know what happens, and it's just not fair. And they leave on so many cliffhangers, but.
Megan and Alicia are two of my favorite authors of all time
So let's welcome today's guest, though. And I've been, like, literally just counting down the days to get to meet these two. And, uh, • • I swear they're, like, • • • my top • • • favorite authors of all time. So • • here's Megan and Alicia. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • So, uh, my first question for both of you. Uh, uh, well, my first question for you is, • • • with these books, um, • why do you keep. • • • Let's just say, why do you keep messing with the main group, four group of characters? It's just so mean. • • • • • • • • •
Megan Linski
With present spawn, • • • • there's no story if the main character doesn't go through trials and tribulations. And the best stories are where you watch the main character succeed at all costs. So that's why we put our characters through what we put them through, because we want people to know that you can be a hero no matter what you're going through. What's your answer to that, Alicia?
Alicia Rades
Uh, or would it just echo what you said? I mean, there is no story if they're not going through something and learn something at the end because of it. • •
How did you come up with this amazing story
Jimmy Clare
Well, • so my next question for you guys are, • • • • • how did you come up with this amazing story? And did you know it was always gonna be, • uh, six, uh, • • books in the series, or. • • •
Megan Linski
We did not. Um. Um. So when me and Alicia first got together and started to co write, we agreed to write a trilogy of three short books. And by the time we were about halfway through the fire prophecy, which is the first book of the Academy Magical Creatures series, we realized that those were not going to be short because • the first half was the length of, um, the book that we wanted to write originally. So we decided that we needed to expand it to five books. And then after that, we decided that's not good enough either. We need to go to five • • • • or six. Sorry, I have alcalia, and I cannot. Like, I don't do numbers, so Alicia does the numbers for me. But anyway, we just kept on writing, and it kept on getting more and more ideas, and we just could not put it down, and that's where we ended up. • •
Jimmy Clare
Well, • • • it's really impressive, especially because • • • I can relate. • • • • I found for myself, every time when I read another chapter in the book, I can relate to literally all the characters at once. • And it was like, I have my smart moments, and then I have. Let's just say • I have my Liam moments where I went through, like, last three weeks. I was in a total funk, and I was like, • • uh. • I really feel very close to Liam right now. It's like I really just wanted, • • uh. I was at the point of just, like, just throwing everything away, but then I was like, what's the point of that? • • • • • • • • •
