Interview with Author – Laura Ruth Loomis
Social worker by day, space cadet by night. My main character’s talent for accidentally destroying technology might be slightly autobiographical.
I write both serious and silly, science fiction and contemporary, YA and adult. I’m not indecisive, I’m just Californian.
I have a science fiction comedy novel, “The Cosmic Turkey,” and a collection of linked short stories, “Lost in Translation,” which I plan to expand into a novel. Assorted short stories are linked on my website.
Interview with Author – Katherine Vick
Katherine Vick was born in the middle bit of England longer ago than she’d care to admit (1979, if you must know. Aren’t you nosy?). She studied Geography at University of Wales, Aberystwyth, writing her dissertation on the Role of Landscape and Culture in Fantasy Novels. She then moved onto a Master’s degree in Literary Studies and Creative Writing at University of Central England, where she wrote the dissertation that inspired the creation of Fodder, so she hopes you’ll feel she put her education to good use. She flirted briefly with fast food and retail work before settling down as a college administrator. She spends occasional weekends on historic battlefields in her capacity as a rather clumsy late medieval re-enactor. She (mis)spent a part of her youth writing stories based around other people’s literary and media creations. She likes to read and watch fantasy, history and science fiction – frankly anything that gets her away from the real world, which is far too much trouble. Occasionally she even gets around to writing stuff.
