If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?
Marie Brennan
Oh, oof -- that's difficult! Honestly, lots of fictional book worlds would not be very pleasant to travel to; they're full of problems (because if they weren't, there wouldn't be much story). But I will, somewhat at random, name Time City in Diana Wynne Jones' A TALE OF TIME CITY. They're used to getting tourists (though not from an Unstable Era, which includes our century), and the confection she calls a "butter-pie" sounds absolutely amazing. So I would go to Time City, eat a butter-pie, lose myself for several days in their libraries and museums, and then (probably) get home safely.

Thank you so much for interacting with your fans! Another world building question: what do you imagine was Jacob's oceanographic discovery that got him into the Colloquium? And did he and his mother ever partner up with any field work as adults, ie was there any overlapping project in their work?
