Hi, Salinda. Thanks for talking with us. Can you tell us a little what your story, "The Hunt," is about?
I read about the slaughter of the bison in the 1800s and wrote in a fury.
How did you come up with the idea?
A museum exhibit sparked the idea of contrast between human and animal bonds and the horrors of technology.
What is your inspiration for writing as a whole?
My interest in history and art. And reading and listening to stories, especially from My grandfather.
Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
I grew up near Pennsylvania Amish country and began writing while living in San Francisco and working for a small news wire. I took Marta Randall's science fiction/fantasy workshop at UC Berkeley extension.
Where can listeners find more of your work?
My author's page is on Amazon.
Any new work we should keep an eye out for?
I'm working on several stories and want to finish some longer pieces.
(And just for Juli's curiosity: What are you reading now?)
I've just read Susan Orleon's The Library Book, Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth, and am currently engrossed in Jodi Picoult's Lone Wolf, and anything on the early suffragettes I can find.
