Debbie Stieg Blankenship: Family-Centric Fantasy Unleashed in “The Magic Stones and the Big, Black, Hairy Thing in the Woods”

Debbie Stieg Blankenship, a resident of Southern Illinois with roots in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, creates tales that resonate across generations, evoking the cherished essence of family bonds. Situated just a stone’s throw away from three grandchildren and a brief drive from the other two, Blankenship finds inspiration in the heartland, infusing her narratives with a captivating touch of enchantment.

In her debut work, “Gone…,” she looks into the aftermath of a Revelation study, exploring the post-apocalyptic landscapes of the Midwest. Currently absorbed in crafting a sequel, her latest masterpiece, “The Magic Stones and the Big, Black, Hairy Thing in the Woods,” springs forth from a cherished family legend. Narrated through the captivating lens of her five grandchildren, the story unfolds as a testament to the magic of childhood wonder and the allure of adventurous escapades.

The author’s motivation for penning this magical tale stems from her Uncle Joe’s stories about a hairy creature in the woods—an anecdote she transformed into a story featuring her grandchildren. The book’s core is rooted in family, offering readers an adventure that mirrors the bonds Blankenship holds dear.

Beyond the whimsical narrative, she infuses the book with important lessons. In her own words, each child in the story is endowed with a special power, emphasizing the idea that everyone has a unique purpose in life, a divine journey waiting to unfold.
With a personal touch, she reveals that she wrote the book during her grandson’s battle with liver cancer. The desire to gift him the finished book before his liver transplant showcased the deep personal connection she has with her storytelling. The book became a beacon of hope during uncertain times, transforming her grandson into a “famous” character after a successful transplant.

Debbie Blankenship’s hope is for readers to not only join on a magical adventure but also to recognize their special purpose in life. The book, she believes, can contribute to modern society by encouraging children to put down their iPads and focus on the captivating world of literature.

“The Magic Stones” promises a magical journey of mythical proportions, brimming with suspense, action, and the timeless themes of teamwork and superpowers.

Her unique blend of family, fantasy, and faith creates an experience that extends beyond the pages.
