Ever wonder what it is like when authors work with their characters? They have to know their personalities, their pasts and their emotions. When Margery encounters a magical writing community known as The Spork Room, she finds a solution to the pirate story she's writing. That solution is the Door, a portal the writers can go through to see their stories come to life. Margery doesn't get one of the other writers to stand watch when she goes in to get a look at her character Cass. Soon a malevolent force is released and the worlds within the Door become unstable and start to collapse. Margery needs to find a solution and get out with only Cass and the unflappable Someone, a character of many talents used by the writers in distress.

Hidden Worlds is a quick, entertaining read that will especially appeal to those who enjoy parallel worlds ( )

A very dear friend of mine, a member of The Spork Room, wrote this novel. I first read it in bits and pieces as she posted it on the forums, and I was beside myself with excitement when I found out she'd self-published it. This is an amazing novel, completely one-of-a-kind, and it's even more awesome in that it's based on the antics of The Spork Room, the writing community we belong to.

In this novel, a writer named Margery stumbles onto a magical community of writers, a place that you can find whenever you need to, no matter where you live, and you can always find other writers there. Part of the magic of The Spork Room is "The Door", a magical door that can help you with your plots/novels by actually taking you to meet your own characters. Margery breaks a serious rule when she goes into The Door with no one to watch over it for her, and The Door destablizes. Margery is stuck in an imaginary land with her own main character, and they are being persued by a black nothingness called The Dark. The adventures Margery and Cass must go through to escape The Dark and return The Door to normal are nothing short of awesome. I don't usually like fantasy, but this novel will remain among my favorites for a long time, I'm sure. ( )
