One of the most interesting columns today about writing SF, fantasy and horror is the mini-column The Big Idea over at John Scalzi's blog. It is a guest shot by an author talking about the ideas behind a recent or forthcoming book in our genre. This week Martha Wells talked about the ideas behind her latest book, The Cloud Roads.
Martha Wells fans, take a look! And if you haven't read any books by Martha Wells, why not? You can start here. I am also fond of a lot of her older books, especially Wheel of the Infinite, but they are all entertaining. Don't ask me why this one came out from a small specialty publisher. Maybe NYC has forgotten how to publish great writers like Martha? Maybe Night Shade Books got in there first?
At any rate -- The Big Idea is always interesting. Recommended.
