We sat down with the delightful Sarah White, author of Halayda, but Josh couldn't join us. So it was up to Liberty to rein in Aaron! Or does he have to rein her in? Hmmm...
Sarah Delena White writes epic fantasy, steampunk, and reworkings of mythology with complex characters, rich world-building, and a fine balance of poetry and snark. When she’s not writing or editing, she can be found making jewelry, singing Irish ballads, drinking tea, and working a variety of odd jobs. She occasionally remembers to eat and sleep, because those things are apparently important. She can be bribed with dark chocolate. Halayda is her debut novel.
In Episode 65:
- Sarah keeps very busy!
- Halayda's unique blend of subgenres and unique beginnings
- Yes, this is a kissing book!
- Sarah's research into Scottish & Irish faeries
- More questionable search histories!
- Aaron's rabbit trail about the difference between the Russian space program and NASA
- Liberty's rabbit trail about Apollo 13
- Short word counts vs. long word counts!
