Interview with The Island Scrivener – Sean MacÚisdin
I’m pleased to have the opportunity to interview Sean MacÚisdin, author of Europa Rising, Jupiter Rising, The Scarlet Bastards, Fremantle Freya, and Tongs, Tartan, and Tin Pot Battleships
Thank you for joining us today. How are you?
It's a beautiful day on the muddy wet coast of Vancouver Island!
Tell us about yourself—outside the world of writing.
I am a husband, father, and sailor in the Royal Canadian Navy and not always in that particular order. When not doing those activities, writing and marketing, I'm an avid outdoorsman that spends time hiking and backpacking with my highland collie, Ajax, or canoeing/kayaking (without the dog, he's not a great swimmer).
What does writing mean to you?
Writing is a release – it's an outlet for all of the fantastic imagery, adventurous stories, and colourful characters floating around in my mind.
How long have you been writing?
I have been writing for about 20 years, but only in the last three have I sat down to truly focus on it and publish some work.
Please tell us about the first thing you wrote for publication.
I wrote my first novel, Europa Rising and had it published about 18 months ago or so. It is a military scifi techno thriller set in the near future (2070) that tells the story of Captain Charles Kwetche of NASA, given the elderly frigate, NASS Cabot, and the task unenviable mission to find the European cruiser, ESS Onbevreesd, that disappeared beyond Jupiter. His investigation uncovers a convoluted trail of lies, illegal connections between a United Nations ship, the UNSS Audentia and an industrial magnate, before leading to a wondrous discovery beneath the ice of Europa.
Do you find that your work fits easily into a particular genre? If not, why?
