Juliet McKenna Interview

The Green Man’s War is currently available for pre-order (links here). Because Wizard’s Tower was launching two books at BristolCon, I wasn’t planning to interview Juliet at the launch. Instead I did it via Zoom, which also gave us more time to chat. The results are in the podcast below.

Juliet and I discuss a range of subjects. Obviously the new book is top of the list, but it isn’t the only book that she has due. Look out for Different Times and Other Places, forthcoming from NewCon Press in December. That’s a short story collection, and it includes a new Green Man story. We also discussed plans for the future of the Green Man series.

It is something of a joke in writerly circles that the one question authors hate getting asked is, “where do you get your ideas from?” As Juliet often notes, getting ideas is not the problem, it is turning them into quality fiction that is the hard bit. However, once in a while an author will experience something that sticks with them, and which gets used in a book. In this podcast you will hear about an event that affected Juliet and her husband, and which directly influence the frightening events that open The Green Man’s War.
