Author B.B. Alston Shares 5 Fun Facts About the Mysterious Bureau of Supernatural Affairs from Amari and the Night Brothers:

FACT #1:

In Amari and the Night Brothers, 12-year-old Amari Peters gets nominated to a secretive summer camp at the mysterious Bureau of Supernatural Affairs. It’s here that she’ll learn that supernatural creatures from myths and legends the world over are all real!

The Bureau is located in the swanky Buckhead area of Atlanta, Georgia and it lies beneath the very fancy Vanderbilt Hotel. It stretches downward for miles! Only the Chief Director knows exactly how many floors there are in the Bureau, because a great many are hidden!

FACT #2:

One of the primary purposes of the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs is to keep the supernatural world secret from the public. That means whenever someone calls 911 about a supernatural emergency, that call gets forwarded to the Department of Half Truths and Full Coverups.

These folks will do their very best to get you the help you need. But don’t be surprised if they also try to convince you that the mummy you just saw was actually a man in a full body cast!

FACT #3:

Two different kinds of supernaturals exist in Amari and the Night Brothers. Those with human and above level intelligence, and those that are merely animals with supernatural traits. The Department of Creature Control handles magical animals, often bringing them back to the vast artificial habitat within the department if need be. There you’ll find flying pigs, all sorts of dragon, and even the deadly Mars Mantrap, the far more vicious cousin of the Venus Flytrap. Would you visit?

FACT #4:

Located in the Golden Dome above the Vanderbilt hotel is the Department of Good Fortunes and Bad Omens. The people in this department learn several different ways to peak not only into the future, but also into the past! Their office hours are strictly at night, and that’s primarily due to the director’s favorite type of fortune telling…one that involves a magic carpet and starry night sky! Are you brave enough for a reading?

FACT #5:

With so many floors making up the enormous Bureau of Supernatural Affairs, the elevators are the fastest way to get around. But these aren’t your normal elevators, each has its own name and personality through very advanced artificial intelligence! Easy-going Lucy, is the quickest, while Whispers, only ever shouts. Pray you don’t end up on the wrong end of one of Mischief’s self-destruct countdown pranks!
