Exclusive Interview: “Terraforming Mars: Shores Of A New Horizon” Author M. Darusha Wehm

 

One of the interesting things about the board and card game-related novels published by Aconyte Books is how many of the authors have not been hardcore players of the games they’re writing novels about. (See these interviews with Cath Lauria, Ari Marmell, and Tim Waggoner.)

But the same cannot be said of M. Darusha Wehm, who, in the following email interview about their new sci-fi adventure novel Terraforming Mars: Shores Of A New Horizon (paperback, Kindle, audiobook), talks about how being a fan of FryxGame’s board game inspired and influenced this story.

Exclusive Interview: “Hamlet, Prince Of Robots” Author M. Darusha Wehm

 

To some, Shakespeare and science fiction must seem like strange bedfellows. And yet, they’ve come together on more than one occasion: from Isaac Asimov’s classic story “The Immortal Bard” (available in The Complete Stories, Vol. 1) to the movies Forbidden Planet and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. The latest of which is Hamlet, Prince Of Robots (hardcover, Kindle), a retelling of Shakespeare’s titular play by writer M. Darusha Wehm. In the following email interview, Wehm discusses what prompted them to write this tale, as well as who — aside from The Bard — influenced it.

Exclusive Interview: “The Qubit Zirconium” Author M. Darusha Wehm

 

I don’t know what it is, but robots just seem like they’d make great detectives in noir sci-fi stories. For proof of this, you have to go no further than The Qubit Zirconium (paperback, Kindle), M. Darusha Wehm’s comedic buddy cop noir mystery science fantasy space opera. In the following email interview about it, Wehm discusses what inspired and influenced this robotic heist caper, as well as how it connects to the sci-fi board game KeyForge.
