Exclusive Interview: “Hot Moon” Author Alan Smale

 

As the sci-fi loving son of a grade school science teacher, I’ve long lamented that our missions to the moon ended after only six trips. And no, not just because I’d love to eat a breakfast burrito while hopping along the surface of the moon (as cool as that may be). Well, at least I have fiction to feed my mind; fiction like Alan Smale’s new alt-history sci-fi novel Hot Moon (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook). In the following email interview, Smale discusses what inspired and influenced this space story.

Exclusive Interview: Eagle In Exile Author Alan Smale

In speculative fiction, the author tries to figure out what would really happen if a historical event went differently. Y’know, like what the world of the 1200s would be like if the Roman Empire never fell. Such is the premise of Alan Smale’s Eagle In Exile (hardcover, digital), the sequel to his 2015 novel Clash Of Eagles, and the second part of a planned trilogy. In the following interview, Smale talks about the impetus for this series, where the new novel fits in, and why it’s not about what would happen if the Romans had a space program.
