Yet, Chima confided, “I always had a secret life as a fiction writer. As a freelance journalist, she also published feature articles on nutrition and other topics, as well as personal essays, in various publications, including Cleveland’s Plain Dealer. After earning a master’s degree in nutrition in 1984, the Ohio native practiced as a clinical dietician and taught classes in nutrition on the university level. Though Chima began writing poems and stories in third grade and novels in junior high school, her path to becoming a published author was rather circuitous. Shattered Realms will be a four-book series, with the second installment, Stormcaster, due out in winter 2017.
The novel brings together a trained teenage healer tempted to use his magical gifts in a different way to avenge a cruel king, and a downtrodden girl, abandoned at birth, who is hunted by the monarch’s guards. On April 5, HarperTeen will release Flamecaster, the launch title of the Shattered Realms series, introducing the next generation of characters living in that same universe. Though she wrapped up her Seven Realms series with 2012’s The Crimson Crown, Cinda Williams Chima has not left that fantasy world behind.
