This week on the show, we have Celesta Thiessen, the author of the Super Seven series. She hails from Manitoba (I think she’s our first Canadian author!), and had a lot to share 14528234_1070374343011379_179943636_nabout her series and writing.

  • An impromptu author reading of her favorite scene from Two of a Kind!
  • The science behind her superhero powers in her books.
