Hopkins became disabled in 2014. For years, she bounced around from apartment to apartment, and for a while, motel to motel. Despite the obstacles in her way, she conquered them and got back to doing what she loved; writing.<\/p>\n
Some readers of her first book\u2014an ode to overcoming depression in fiction and verse\u2014have said that her words helped them to start vanquishing their own inner demons.<\/p>\n
About the creation of the fictional town of Birch Hollow, Hopkins said, \u201cBeing a writer of fantasy is kind of like always having one foot in Wonderland.\u201d<\/p>\n
From a young age, River J. Hopkins was entranced with storytelling. The first few poems in \u201cSometime After Midnight\u201d were written when she was still in high school, and most of her stories have parts inspired by her own life. However, \u201cInto the Forgotten Forest\u201d will be her debut full-length novel. As the first book in \u201cThe Outcrossed Series,\u201d this is only the beginning of what promises to be an ever-expanding, fantastical universe containing several series\u2019 that are already in the works.<\/p>\n
