Description

Zara Marielle’s empowering fantasy debut “The Cafe of Infinite Doors” (now available) follows a trapped housewife who finds shelter in a magical cafe after a fight with her toxic husband, only to be drawn into a thousand-year-old battle between two Scottish goddesses, which threatens to destroy not only the cafe, but the entire world.

In this episode, Zara talks about the origin of the story and how she developed and worldbuilt it into the final book. She talks about her protagonist Marceline, how she was created and the unique situation she finds herself in. We also dive into what it’s like being a debut author, and Zara offers some advice for those about to embark on their own literary journey.
