Exclusive Interview: “We Speak Through The Mountain” Author Premee Mohamed

 

When writer Premee Mohamed released her climate science fiction novella The Annual Migration Of Clouds in 2021, she thought it was a one and done kind of thing.

But let this be a lesson to you, kids: Sometimes, if you ask nicely, good things will happen. Which is why fans of Mohamed’s Clouds are getting not one but two sequels to that story.

In the following email interview, Mohamed talks about the first one, We Speak Through The Mountain (paperback, Kindle), as well as the other, and the two other new books she’s recently released.

Exclusive Interview: “No One Will Come Back For Us” Author Premee Mohamed

 

When talking about whether the idea for a book is good or not, we usually lay all the blame at the feet of the writer. But like movies, cakes, and cars, books aren’t just made by one person.

It’s something I thought about while doing the following email interview with writer Premee Mohamed about her first short story collection, No One Will Come Back For Us And Other Stories (paperback, Kindle), in which she credits the book’s editor and publisher with making it good as well as possible.

With her second-world fantasy novel The Void Ascendant (paperback, Kindle, audiobook), writer Premee Mohamed is concluding the sci-fi, fantasy, cosmic horror series Beneath The Rising that she launched in 2020 with the titular first novel, and continued in 2021 with A Broken Darkness.

Exclusive Interview: “The Annual Migration Of Clouds” Author Premee Mohamed

 

As a scientist, it’s not surprising that writer Premee Mohammed would write a story about an apocalypse that’s both environmental and biological in nature.

It’s also not surprising that, as she admits in the following email interview about her post-apocalyptic sci-fi novella The Annual Migration Of Clouds (paperback, Kindle), she sometimes found her writer’s instincts running up against her scientific ones.

For some, social media is a way to stay connected to friends, family, and the world at large. For others, it’s the engine that feeds much of the hate and stupidity that’s ruining society.

But for writer Premee Mohamed, it was a place to find an image that inspired her new dystopian sci-fi novella And What Can We Offer You Tonight (paperback, Kindle). In the following email interview about it, Mohamed not only explains how that happened, but what else influenced this story.

Exclusive Interview: “Beneath The Rising” Author Premee Mohamed

 

As someone who shelves his books alphabetically, I usually don’t care about genre (save for these author interviews, where it’s handy in explaining what a book is like).

Which made the following email interview with Premee Mohamed about her genre-bending sci-fi / fantasy / cosmic horror / what-have-you novel Beneath The Rising (paperback, Kindle, audiobook) so interesting…and not just because of her celebrity-adjacent author photo.
