1–What is the title of your latest release? THE MIMICKING OF KNOWN SUCCESSES 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? A sapphic, atmospherically Holmesian murder mystery set on Jupiter: gaspunk where the gas is piped up directly from the swirling insubstantial planet below. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I wanted to explore what a human settlement on a gas giant would be like. Initially I thought it would be some as-yet unidentified planet way out in the universe, but when I realized my book was partly about the damage humans have done to Earth and the desire to repair it, I moved it to Jupiter. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Absolutely. 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? Mossa: Focused, observant, learning Pleiti: Dedicated, passionate, erudite 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? A day on Jupiter is less than ten hours long! So I had to figure out how humans might adapt to that. In my book they first try to artificially lengthen the day using orbiting mirrors, but society settles into a pattern where people stay awake for a day and a night…
