What an awesome interview! Thoughtful questions and even more thoughtful answers! Loved getting to read some of SDG's thoughts and reflections here. So many things I love thinking about 🔥

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. SDG is a great author with much earned praise. I hope you check out her work.

Oh don't you worry, I'm already an avid reader of her work! Fortunately for me, she started reading my work first and it made me curious so I read hers too. I immediately loved her work. Awesome how internet communities can work that way!

Awesome! Yeah, the internet is a great tool when put to the right order of things. I first encountered her putting an index together of other science fiction and fantasy authors on Substack. Not to drown you in stuff, but here's that index if you are interested (second part of the post). https://www.patrickabbott.net/p/talking-aliens-are-demons

This is an awesome interview and gave me a shortlist of SDG’s stories to check out - The Nativity Scene sounds great!

And hey, I’m CANADIAN…didn’t see that anywhere on the list… just sayin’…😏😏😏🇨🇦🍁

If you're volunteering, give me a few days to whip up some questions. What medium for the interview do you prefer?

I liked how you did the call with Philip Carter that time. Something conversational?

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was nice seeing the brain of a scientific sci-fi writer worker.
