Things From Another World Interview

My favorite question from the interview, and one I’ve never been asked before, is reprinted below:

TFAW: What is it about fantasy that attracts you, as a writer?

JZ:
Good question! There’s something primal and wonderful about myth and fantasy stories. The genre seems very open to massive scale creation and expansion, wielding larger-than-life forces and creating situations that reflect on our common ideas about heroism, sacrifice and belief. The lack of modern conveniences infuses these stories with a greater sense of survival and self reliance, which I also find really intriguing as a writer.
