Yep, it's another thread to post questions to your favorite authors for season 2 of Sword and Laser video!

This one's for the amazing N.K. Jemisin

We're going to ask her some questions and YOU'RE going to ask her some questions. So what do you want to ask? Post it here.

Nancy O'Toole (temporaryworlds) | 135 comments Wow! You're getting some of my favorites on this season.

I'd love to learn more about her next book, The Fifth Season. The blurb online doesn't give a huge amount of information. Is there anything else she can tell us? How many books does she have planned in the series?


message 3: by Dara (new)

Dara (cmdrdara) | 2702 comments So far all of your novels have been part of a series. Do you have any plans to write any stand-alone books?


message 4: by Camilla (new)

Camilla (repressedpauper) I just read The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and thought it was great. I'd like to know what inspired the god system in that book and how it came about.


message 5: by Ben (new)

Ben Rowe (benwickens) Nora is a great name - is there a reason why you use N. K. instead with your books?

Also you have become whether intended or not as something for a spokesperson for diversity in SF - how do you feel about diversity in SF and in the role of spokesperson?


message 6: by Cordia (new)

Cordia Pearson (cordiapearson) Lady, you rock. Hope to hear you speak in Madison this year. Your social "awareness" (gag, how to describe this) so vivid in your writing. The non-feeble, take it or leave it of your female characters, oh la la.

With a massive "day job," separation, how do you achieve that? And in the nuts & bolts dept, recent references on Twitter about revision, comment on your process?


message 7: by Arturo (new)

Arturo Mijangos (amijangos) I love your Twitter feed, and I am surprised at the amount of conversations, information and topics you manage on your feed.

How do you do it? Which app do you use?

Keep up the great work.
