My intent was to tell a good story. To me, that involves thoroughly exploring characters, in ways that sometimes change how the audience reads them. :) Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

After Far Sector is over, do you have future plans for Sojourner Mullein? I think Far Sector has been really imaginitive and the writing feels very modern: sarcastic, strong female, meme culture, it's just a really cool and original world and I enjoy every issue. Jamal Campbell is one of the best there is, he has brought Sojourner a really impressive aesthetic personality as well. You are killing it on this book!

How did you get your start? Did you publish short stories, and later moved on to novels once you had street-cred? Or did you just dive right into novel-writing and impressed a very lucky agent? (And more importantly, HOW did you impress said very lucky agent? ...But that might be a different question entirely.)

Will San Francisco will make an appearance in your Great City series? I work in San Francisco and I see so much of media that portrays it as just tech, but there's so much more: neighborhoods like Castro, Mission, Chinatown, and Tenderloin; struggles with issues like homelessness and income inequality; and arts and entertainment cultures; not to mention its relationship with East Bay (which is where I live).
