When Karen and Sherylyn Dunstall put out their sci-fi space opera Stars Uncharted two years ago, the duo best known as S.K. Dunstall said it was a stand-alone story, but that there would be another. But in the following email interview about that second story, Stars Beyond (paperback, Kindle), they not only explain how it came together, but also how it came to be much more of a sequel than they originally planned.
It’s been said that while almost no one bought the Velvet Underground’s albums, everyone who did started their own band. It seems you could say something similar about the TV show Firefly, which has inspired numerous sci-fi space operas, including R.E. Stearns’ Barbary Station, T.J. Berry’s Space Unicorn Blues, and Mike Brooks’ Dark Deeds. But while you might think the same of the sci-fi space opera Stars Uncharted (paperback, Kindle) by S.K. Dunstall — or, as they’re known to their friends, sisters Sherylyn and Karen Dunstall — in the following email interview, the duo confess they’d never saw Firefly until someone pointed out the similarities to their new book.
