The idea for HARLEY IN THE SKY came from wanting to combine my love of magic with the honesty of real life. Whether it’s a great story, a really cool looking tree, or an entire circus performance, I love feeling like I’ve been plucked out of the real world and thrown into a fantastical one.

We had the pleasure of chatting to Akemi Dawn Bowman about her new YA contemporary, Harley In The Sky! In the interview, Akemi chats about its main character, music, mental health, books, and more!
