Welcome to our first month including digital spoilers. We hope that you are excited about the change. Reducing waste is very important to us, and we plan to find creative ways to be as green as we can. We're doing a trial run on the digital spoilers, so if we find most of you enjoy the change, it will become permanent. If not, we will return to using pamphlets later in the year.

With that said, below you can find all of the spoilers with the photo challenges for this box as well as links to our monthly recipe and journal prompts.

AUTHOR LETTER:

Dear Reader,

My love of shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Originals, Teen Wolf, and Supernatural all played a role in creating Hunterland. I remember telling my editor one day how much I missed them, and she said, “So you’re a writer. Create a world that brings you back to that nostalgic place.” And boy was she right!

Hunterland—out of all the books I have written—felt like a magical unicorn for me. I saw the book in my head and the words just flowed from there to my fingertips. Writing Hunterland was like time traveling, going back to my favorite shows and getting to relive them through an updated lens. My goal was to give others that same gift but set in our current society in high school with angst, romance, and found family.

But my author journey didn’t start there; it happened as a zealous toddler. I created imaginary worlds between the pages before I could even read. And every night, my mother and I would cuddle with my favorite books. Later, my mother encouraged me to pursue a lifelong dream to be a published author and write stories that would appeal to young people. We had made a promise to co-author a book together, but unfortunately it never came to fruition. After I graduated college, my mother became ill, dying two years later of cancer. It took some time before I processed my grief, but I knew that my writing dreams needed to be fulfilled; as much for myself as for my mother. So, I buckled down and wrote the stories that had consumed my mind for years.

I tell you this because there’s an underlining theme in Hunterland about mothers. It wasn’t until a producer friend read my book and provided feedback that I realized the loss of my mother played a huge role in the way Liam feels about his own mother dying. My mom didn’t get eaten by a werewolf, so don’t panic. But just like Liam, I couldn’t save her. I think subconsciously the loss of my mother to cancer has had a huge influence in how write. I also believe her love and support of my craft is what propels me forward.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my book and sharing a piece of who I am. Without your support, my dreams would be just that…and instead you gave them life and made them a reality. My heart is full!

XOXO

Dana Claire
