In the following email interview about her new science fiction space opera adventure novel Loki’s Ring (paperback, Kindle, audiobook), writer Stina Leicht mentions a number of iconic sci-fi writers. As you would expect.
What you might not expect, though, is how many writers of non-fiction books she mentioned as well.
Stina Leicht isn’t the first writer to combine Westerns with science fiction. Or the first to gender flip a familiar story. Or the first to rework Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 samurai classic Seven Samurai into something new. But she might be the first to do all of those things in a way that makes something think of the phrase “viciously feminist.” In the following email interview, Leicht discusses her new sci-fi Western novel Persephone Station (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook), including how she explains that interesting tag.
