What We Inherited: A series of interviews by Alyx Dellamonica

Alyx Dellamonica is well established as an author with novels such as Indigo Springs. Her short fiction can be found in quality venues like Beneath Ceaseless Skies and on Tor.com.

This year marks her debut as an editor, with the Lethe Press anthology Heiresses of Russ 2016,  which she co-edited with Steve Berman. The  table of contents announcement is here.

Alyx has asked some of the contributors if they’d be interested in talking a little about the ideas behind their stories and about the idea of lesbian-themed genre fiction in a series of interviews called What We Inherited.

So far we’ve had A.C. Wise, Claire Humphrey, and Bo Balder.

I was tremendously pleased to be included in  the anthology with Fabulous Beasts and today it’s my turn- my answers to Alyx’s questions can be read here.
