To some, Sarah Pinsker is a writer of science fiction stories. To others, she’s a singer / songwriter, most recently with the band The Stalking Horses. So it probably won’t surprise anyone that her first novel, A Song For A New Day (paperback, Kindle) is a musical dystopian sci-fi story. In the following email interview, Pinsker talks about how her life as a musician, and as a person, inspired this story, what she listened to while writing it, and what other music books she read in preparation to writing hers.
