#119 When All Seems Lost...Love (with R.S.A. Garcia)

The Wonder Dome

R.S.A. Garcia is a Trinbagonian speculative fiction author who lives in Trinidad and Tobago with her extended family, and as she says, too many cats and dogs :^) Her debut science fiction mystery novel, Lex Talionis, received a starred review from Publishers Weekly, silver medal for best sci-fi fantasy horror ebook from the Independent Publishers award, and became an Amazon Best Seller.
She's also published some incredible short fiction, including the novella Philia, Eros, Storge, Agápe, Pragma. If you speak Greek, then you may know the meaning of those words: they are all different kinds of love. The novella explores the question of love in its many different forms.
The story’s science-fictional world - which includes artificial intelligence, space travel, and interplanetary conflict - is imbued with relationship, family, and respect for tradition, but also a willingness to risk everything for a better future. It draws on both historical realities from our world and richly imagined possibilities from R.S.A.'s incredible imagination. So I'm really excited for you to hear this one, and I hope that you leave here with an urge to read even more of her beautiful writing.
