Here are questions I asked:

  • You have another series set 500 years after The Biodome Chronicles ends, titled The Last Forest Kingdoms. What challenges or surprises did you run into when creating this follow-up series?
  • In what ways do you feel ecopunk writers handle worldbuilding uniquely, since environment plays such a key role in these stories?
  • You’ve collaborated with author Claire Luana on an Arthurian legend reverse harem romance titled The Knights of Caerleon. What lessons learned can you share about co-writing? How about tips for writing reverse harem romance in general?
  • Okay, story candles: so totally cool. Tell us more!
  • Unless we’ve already covered it in previous questions, what mistakes should creators avoid when creating ecopunk or forest fantasy? What pitfalls or pet peeves do you run into that you wish creators were better informed about?
  • Finally, what have ecopunk and forest fiction taught you as a writer or a person? What, if anything, do you hope these genres teach individuals and societies as we move further into 2019?

Shall we make it official?!
