title: Mortal Realm Witch: Learning about Magic
author:  Jennifer Priester 
description: This series is light fantasy as it was inspired by TV series such as Bewitched and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. This was my first book so if you like this one and continue to read my works you will notice a lot of progression in my writing. I've been lucky to have several reluctant readers as well as readers of all ages tell me how much they love this book and every book I've written since to encourage me to keep me writing and continue improving at what I love to do most. I often feel like Book One makes a better backstory than a first book, some readers have disagreed with me here, feeling it's important and best to read my series in order. What Ifeel is that beginning with The Magic Continues the books should be read in order, but don't necessarily need to be. However if you read them out of order at this point there will be many spoilers from previous books so some things that may have come as a surprise to you won't come as one now. My rule, if you choose to accept it, is to read the books in any order you choose, only avoid reading the final book before reading all the others since all the others have been leading up to this point and Sampson's story takes you through all his moments in the series a lot of the build up will be lost. <br /><br />When writing this book I based DWW off of myself during that time. There are several hidden truths in this book such as, if I had magical powers when I was young these things probably would have really happened, and much of DWW and Trillman's relationship is similar to my relationship with my own dog at the time. <br /><br />During the time Learning About Magic was written I was not open with my thoughts and feelings about things. For this reason, even while DWW has two first person stories in the book, the first and last stories where you come to see how far she has progressed, she doesn't share too much of this information so you don't really get to see that behind every action she makes and spell she does she has good intentions. This is why I chose to write some all new stories that will be readable in the final book of the series, where you will find an all new story that takes place between the stories of Trom For Teacher and Wolf Magic, in which many things will be explained and you will finally feel as if you understand young DWW a little better.<br /><br />There were also things that were purposely left out because I didn't feel it was the right time to reveal this information. One example is Sampson's, the series villain, plan in the final story. You only get a basic idea of what it is. However because I wanted Sampson to be able to tell his own story, you won't get all the details behind it until the final book. <br /><br />You may also find facts that seem wrong or don't seem realistic. One example is that I first say DWW doesn't need magic to turn into a wolf, yet later I say she needed to practice using magic to turn into a wolf several times before she could do it. You eventually, in a later book, come to learn that practicing with magic first made it easier for her to turn into a wolf without magic. Also there is something about her having to be a certain level of witchcraft before she could be on the witches council. To some it doesn't seem realistic because even then her magic would still be at a low level. If you really think about it you may discover that I never say what kind of job she could do on the council and at one point in the book her powers begin to grow rapidly and she quickly increases in levels. <br /><br />At the end of the first story you learn that one day DWW hopes to change mortals opinions about witches and for them to finally see what they are really like. What you don't realize at this time is that everything DWW, Trillman, and Trom teach you in this book is actually part 1 of a larger plan being set into place by DWW which is all part of the series plot. You may finally realize what purpose Learning About Magic really has when you read Realms Unite?, the third book in the Mortal Realm Witch series. While Learning About Magic's plot revolves around whether or not DWW grows up to become a responsible witch and what the future holds for her, the series plot is much bigger and becomes much clearer with each book you read. <br /><br />My favorite part about the writing of the series is the character progression and the rise of action in each book. The characters grow and change throughout the entire course of the series and each book contains more action than the last.<br /><br />People have told me there are many themes and life lessons to be found in my books, however I don't really see them. The only lessons I have ever come across in this series is that nothing happens overnight, anything worth doing takes time, and if you have a dream don't give up until you reach it. One thing you will see in this book is that the main series character and hero, DWW, believes in these things and even when things don't work out she never gives up trying. <br /><br />The series has been written to contain 6 books in the main series, 2 companions, and 1 guidebook. The series itself splits into what could be considered 2 trilogies. The first of which focuses on DWW and teaching about witches, warlocks, magic, and more throughout the stories, and the second which focuses more on DWW's daughter and contains information only when absolutely necessary to understand the story being told. The reason they are written this way is because the character the focus is strongest on in each set of three books has a very different personality and style of storytelling. DWW is more of the teacher type and her adventures tend contain much information as she feels education is the way to achieve her future goals for witches and mortals. This lessons as the series progresses but whenever DWW is telling a story,part of a story, or is being focused on in third person, depending on the book and story,you will notice that this is kind of an instinctive thing for her. DWW's daughter, Asantra is more into adventure and having fun. You will notice that she really condenses the facts when she is telling a story in order to keep the action going. <br /><br />Each book in the series is also written very differently. For instance Learning About Magic and The Magic Continues are both told through short stories that connect together, some of which connect directly into each other and others you have to read more into or a later book in the series to see the connection. The difference between the two books, besides the writing, characters, and the obvious facts, is that unlike Learning About Magic which was written specifically to allow each story to be individual and be read at any time which means important information is repeated, this lessons in The Magic Continues. Realms Unite? is a full length novel. Tales of Familiars: The First Mortal Realm Witch Series Companion helps you betterunderstand what is happening at the beginning of Realms Unite? but otherwise is not dependent on the series in any way though one character, the cat Plarklay, reappears in later books. Book Four, Mortal Realm Witch: The Magical Adventures of DWW2 has short stories that act more as different chapters in Asantra's life, as does Book Five. Both of these books contain stories that can be read individually, however there is absolutely no repeat information as Asantra hates repeat information. The final book contains, not just the final story, but stories from before and during every book in the series so that you finally have all the information. I used the stories in this one to answer questions such as, what were the details behind Sampson's various plans, why DWW did some of the things she did and what she was thinking and feeling at the time, what is the story behind how Trillman became a familiar, what happened to Trillman during his separation from DWW, why is the Tiger Wolf the symbol of unification in the Other Realm, and more.
