Join co-hosts Adrian M. Gibson & Greta Kelly as they chat with author Laura E. Weymouth about her new novel The Castle & the Cloister, cultural identity and rootedness, the intersection of politics/religion/war, incorporating themes of religion and competing faiths into fantasy, kinghood and tyranny, shifting trends and surviving in publishing, writing YA vs. adult fantasy, lyrical prose that isn’t overindulgent, unreliable narrators and more.
NOTE: This is part one of a two-part chat with Laura. Stayed tuned next week for her writing masterclass on Parenting in Speculative Fiction.
