Award-winning science fiction author Kameron Hurley stops by to talk about her Worldbreaker Saga, and the concluding story, The Broken Heavens.

The world-building involving the characters and the parallel worlds introduce us to a handful of seemingly familiar protagonists, then breaks a lot of new ground in terms of the magic and astrology infusing the plot and perils. There’s a lot here for readers to parse and enjoy.

Kameron talks a little about the curious Hollywood that’s come knocking on her door, and the special little crazy involved with that. Oh, and she’s a fan of British murder mysteries, Travelers and Leverage. ‘Nuff said.
