Like a lot of people, Kemi Ashing-Giwa picked up a new habit during the pandemic: drinking tea. But unlike people who took up baking bread or working out or playing Animal Crossing, Ashing-Giwa translated her newfound love into a novel, a sci-fi space opera story called The Splinter In The Sky (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook) that — in the following email interview — she calls a, “spy thriller in space.”
In a lot of World War II alternate history novels (and comics, and games…) the Nazi’s rumored interest in the occult plays a big part. But in Serpent In The Heather (hardcover, Kindle), the second book of her Dark Talents trilogy after At The Table Of Wolves, writer Kay Kenyon once presents the story of a psychic WWII-era spy whose special powers didn’t come from making a deal with the devil.
