While some writers assemble short story collections around a theme, or connected with a framing device, most just pull together their latest and greatest…and then often find that a theme has emerged all on its own. Which is basically what happened to writer Kameron Hurley when she assembled Future Artifacts (paperback, audiobook), her second short story collection after 2019’s Meet Me In The Future. Well…except for the “latest” part.
With The Broken Heavens (paperback, Kindle), writer Kameron Hurley is concluding The Worldbreaker Saga trilogy she began in 2014 with The Mirror Empire and continued a year later with Empire Ascendant. In the following email interview, she not only talks about why writing this novel took longer than usual, and whether this is indeed the end of the story, but also about her two other new books: the sci-fi novel The Light Brigade and the short story collection Meet Me In The Future.
