If I've got a recurring theme, it's how easy it is to ignore the suffering of others if that suffering is out of sight and mind.<br /><br />I've also got some trust themes that come up in the three books so far. I believe the foundation of true lasting love has to be in real trust, so I enjoy that theme a lot.<br /><br />I also toy with one Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413375430298785234.post-78757120228397269412009-08-28T14:22:03.774-07:002009-08-28T14:22:03.774-07:00Fantastic interview!

Is there an aspect involved that always crops up?<br />I find I lean toward genetic mutations and things like that.

As far as the science fiction spectrum goes, this book is definitely in the fun adventure space opera, don't take it tooo seriously because no one really wants to hear me try to explain how sentient trillide within the energy converters allows the ships to leap macrospace.

When I designed it, I wanted it to be open, so I could go anywhere and do anything, without the series being locked in to too many plot threads that you have to know about from previous books, or have the world building limited in a way where every book becomes the same "problem" for the characters.<br /><br />I'd like to do books forAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413375430298785234.post-19402236180075824812009-08-28T09:42:43.700-07:002009-08-28T09:42:43.700-07:00The book sounds amazing and I'm very happy to ...The book sounds amazing and I'm very happy to hear there will be a sequel.

When I worked through the very early drafts, I did cut out a scene where the hero and heroine were on a roof in the Hannolen ruins and spying on the enemy. But then he almost falls off the roof.<br /><br />I felt like it was a little gratuitous and like the heroine was coming to the hero's rescue too much. I don't miss that scene.
