Exclusive Interview: The Eleventh Gate Author Nancy Kress

 

In many sci-fi space operas, the way people get around isn’t as important as what they do when they get there. But that’s not true for Nancy Kress’ The Eleventh Gate (paperback, Kindle), in which the means of interplanetary travel actually drives this space tale. In the following email interview, the iconic science fiction writer discusses what inspired this new novel, as well as her new but unrelated GMO-centric science fiction novella, Sea Change (paperback, Kindle).

Exclusive Interview: Sea Change Author Nancy Kress

 

It was inevitable that someone would write a science fiction story about genetically modified crops. But while more obvious authors would have the GMOs running amok and killing people like in some B-movie from the ’50s, or the ’80s, writer Nancy Kress is anything but obvious. In the following email interview, she not only discusses what inspired her new GMO-related sci-fi novella Sea Change (paperback, Kindle), but how looking into the real science behind GMOs influenced this story.

In 2015, science fiction writer Nancy Kress released Yesterday’s Kin, a sci-fi novella that won a Nebula Award and was included in 2015’s The Year’s Best Science Fiction: Thirty-Second Annual Collection. But despite these accolades, Kress wasn’t satisfied with the finished novella, and decided to expand the story so much it become a trilogy of novels. With the third and final book in Terran Tomorrow (hardcover, Kindle) now available, I conducted the following interview to find out what this last chapter is about, what ispired it, and whether it is the end or if she’s planning to expand this story even further.

Exclusive Interview: If Tomorrow Comes Author Nancy Kress

 

Last year, when I interviewed sci-fi writer Nancy Kress about her then new book Tomorrow’s Kin, she explained that this epic science fiction story was an expansion of 2014 novella, Yesterday’s Kin, one that had grown to the point where Tomorrow’s Kin was only the first book in a trilogy. With the second installment, If Tomorrow Comes (hardcover, Kindle), newly available, and the third, Terran Tomorrow, slated for November 13th, I once again find myself asking Nancy Kress about this sci-fi saga.
