Exclusive Interview: “A Gathering Of Weapons” Author Tracy Cross

 

We all have dreams, some grander than others. I wanted to be Jimmy Page but, alas, that job was taken.

For Pee Wee, one of the main characters in Tracy Cross’ historical fiction horror novella Rootwork, the dream is to be, as Cross puts it, “…the greatest conjure woman ever.”

It’s a dream Pee Wee continues to pursue in Cross’ new novella, A Gathering Of Weapons (paperback, Kindle).

In the following email interview, Cross discusses what inspired and influenced this second installment, as well as her plans to conclude Pee Wee’s quest.

Which is kind of what Sylvain Neuvel’s sci-fi trilogy Take Them To The Stars is about…if you swapped human women for alien ones. In the following email interview, Neuvel discusses this series’ second installment, Until The Last Of Me (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook).
