Romantasy. Live at…the Spiegeltent!
The Books & Beverages event for July had a truly mystical feel to it. Not just because the topic was Romantasy, but because it took place in the Spiegel Tent as part of the Harrogate International Festival. The tent which takes its name from the mirrors which circle the upper walls was colourful, highly decorated and light and airy. Thank you to Harrogate Library for offering this opportunity to us.
Our two authors, Natalie Horner and Kate Kenzie, write books which combine romance with magic and imagination. Natalie’s book, Wings, is set in Manhattan and tells the story of a girl, Charlie, from a dysfunctional family who longs to escape her abusive and controlling father but as a result of an attack she also loses her mother. Natalie manages to combine a story which reflects many aspects of modern life with the supernatural introduction of a Guardian Angel. The story swings from Charlie’s despair with her loss of family to a longing for more than friendship with Michael, her all-seeing, protective savour and Angel. There promises to be more books tracking this relationship in the future.
Kate’s book, A Blend of Magic, is set in the atmospheric town of Whitby, a place of ginnels and hidden buildings which lend themselves to the idea of witchery. Kate’s white witch, Willow, has had a disturbing background and is looking for somewhere to set up on her own and use her skills to help people. She makes different concoctions of tea to treat the ills of the local people. Her discovery of an old cottage which the local estate agents have failed to sell is just perfect and she moves in immediately to share it with the ghosts that have already taken up residence and her familiar, Vincent. The arrival of Nate, a city businessman, at first irritates her but then as they become attracted to one another her life seems to be changing for the better. In the midst of this her assistant Amber thinks that Willow should marry her widowed father and uses her magical skills to try and bring the two together. However, the course of true love never did run smoothly but with a bit of patience, perseverance and a little bit of magic it all comes out well in the end.
This was a wonderful and informative conversation about romance, magic, creating supernatural worlds and the inspiration behind two very different Romantasy stories.
