Sara Hadir interviews USA Today Bestselling and International Literary Classics Award-winning author, Astrid V.J. about "The Companion's Tale" and Astrid's other writing. Astrid is a trained social anthropologist and certified transformational life coach who started writing her first novel at age 12 and now writes fantasy in a variety of subgenres, exploring her passion for cultures and languages. When she isn’t writing, Astrid likes to read, take walks in nature, play silly games with her children, do embroidery, and play music. Astrid writes transformation fiction: incorporating transformation principles in novels, rather than writing another self-help book. She loves exploring the human capacity for transformation and potential to achieve success in the face of adversity. The Companion's Tale, ebook available for free: https://books2read.com/u/bxaE5l
