If your reading preference bends to the paranormal and magic, you know award-winning author John Kachuba. You’ll want a copy of The Bottle Conjuror: Book 1 – Stefan – if you dare….
Desiring to become famous by performing a death-defying feat, a crippled conjuror falls prey to a scoundrel’s plot against the son of King George II.
The actual story took place in London in 1749. Advertisements were placed throughout London describing impossible feats of conjuring to be performed at the renowned Haymarket Theatre. A conjuror, with the aid of his beautiful assistant, disappearing inside a common wine bottle? Preposterous! But, as Stefan, the Romani conjuror knows, the borderline between good and evil magic is as fine as a spider’s web. Anything can happen.
It is appropriate Kachuba’s inspiration for The Bottle Conjuror was an accident. While researching an unrelated subject, he “fell down one of those terrific rabbit holes on the Internet” according to Kachuba. Usually there is a question to solve or an idea to expand when he begins writing. Sometimes the answers come, according to the author, but so do more questions.
“As I write, the answers may come (hopefully), but so do more questions/ideas. I welcome those changes. I will explore them to see if they are worth pursuing. Sometimes they pan out as even better ways to go,” admitted Kachuba.
While he would like his work to connect with every reader, he is realistic about his audience. As an author of twelve book, numerous articles, short stories, and poems, Kachuba relates to many readers. After the publication of short story in which a character commits suicide a friend revealed the article comforted her and help her through the grief of friend’s suicide.
“I keep her story in mind whenever I write and try to make sure my work always inspires my readers, gives them hope when they need hope, laughter when they need humor, courage when they are facing difficulties,” Kachuba said.
