quote:Nona is about a friend you know getting super, super drunk at the club, and you’re sitting with him in the local McDonald’s at midnight as he tells you a bunch of incredibly intimate details about something you always wondered about, and you’re torn between wishing you were not in this McDonald’s and egging him on, because you know he’s really, really going to regret telling you all this when he’s sober. Now we know.

Lots of great bits in that interview.quote:Nona sprang from the planned first act of Alecto. I always intended to let her have the entire first act — it felt appropriate — but then there came a point where my editor was asking me how Alecto was going, and I admitted that I thought it was going to be a long book. My editor asked me how long. I said, well, the first act is 140k [words], and there are like four acts and I’m still only in Act II. You can tell Tamsyn is a fanfic writer at heart: quote:I did end up writing a total divergence when I was writing Nona, back in 2020, because I wanted to make sure my clockwork made sense — I wanted to make sure that if you wound up Gideon and Harrow and put them on a slightly different route the laws of the universe would still flow accordingly. (I stopped writing because when your editor asks how you’re doing and you’re like “I stopped to write 30k to prove a timeline” he’s legally allowed to shoot you with a crossbow.) Dog confirmed safe! quote:Nona is the only girl on any of these covers who is having anything approaching a good time. I’ve seen all these covers. Ranked by who’s apparently having the best time: Nona, Gideon, Alecto, Harrow. What I love about the cover (apart from everything) is that it displays to you neatly that Nona is residing in a different genre to the rest of the book. Nona lives in a genre where the back blurb is, “How do you deal with the world’s most embarrassing family — AND school?! How do you cope when the biggest jerk in the universe … turns out to be your secret crush’s out-of-town cousin?!?!” Ianthe gonna Ianthe: quote:Last time we talked, all you would say about Alecto was, “Ianthe will be awful. Ianthe will reach new heights of being absolutely goddamn dreadful.” Is that still going to be the case in Nona? If not, where may I direct my official complaint?

I've been feeling a bit like a grumpy goon lately because all of Tordotcom's marketing and publicity leaves me incredibly cold, but man the second Tamsyn Muir opens her mouth to say literally anything about her books I'm 1,000% back on board. I love Nona already, and I love Noodle.

After reading that interview I'm a little sad that she doesn't post on social media more. She just has a very unique voice and I'd love to hear more from her That said, I totally don't blame her for not being on social media at all.

Especially with book twitter's more recent habit of brow-beating and harassing authors in to disclosing all their trauma/sexuality/etc so they can judge whether or not you are truly qualified to write about said trauma/sexuality/etc Yeah, just stay off Twitter .

I'm always glad when an auhor is smart enough to stay off Twitter. It's "engagement" but it's also a time-sink full of landmines and brain worms. Writers should have like, a wordpress blog, where they talk only about their work and don't feel the need to weigh in on every current event.

So, we now know.... - Nona is the child in the epilogue of Harrow (per Tamsyn in the Vox interview) - Nona is featured on the cover of Nona the Ninth - Nona's hair is black and eyes are bright gold (per the cover artist) - The six legged dog's name is Noodle (per Tamsyn's editor and Tor twitter)

Finally managed to finish both Gideon and Harrow!Notahippie posted:It took me forever to pick it up because the cover blurb "teenage lesbian necromancers in space!" made it sound so incredibly puerile or exploitative. It took until I was bored and the library had a copy before I tried it. Oenis posted:Yeah I think exactly this is what makes her hesitant too. I already tried to explain to her that the lesbian necromancer romance (which she cares little about, she's more into hard sci-fi) is not exactly at the forefront of this and it's more like a whodunnit in an incredibly interesting setting with, uh, ... ⁿᵉᶜʳᵒᵐᵃⁿᶜʸ ᵗʰʳᵒᵘᵍʰ ˢᶜⁱᵉⁿᶜᵉ. 100% agreed with this. I get what the marketing department were going for with "lesbian necromancers in space" but it seriously put me off because it only conveyed the setting and nothing about the story. Also I had heard a lot about things being meme-y. If it had been pitched to me as locked room murder mystery with necromantic science, I would have read it a lot sooner. I did find all the meme-y references pretty jarring but once I got past that as a thing, I was on board. The second person narration pay-off was the absolute highlight, and the pacing of the clues was just perfect; I was able to figure out what was going on a few pages before each reveal and it was GREAT. Re: Harrow: Smiling Knight posted:Ianthe continues to suck. Gideon's narration was right, how can you choose the power-hoarding lying despot over your mentor? Honestly I thought Ianthe picked the Emperor simply because she didn't want Coronabeth to die, rather than any more complicated motives (which sure, all can be plausibly attributed to her) but I think when push came to shove, Coronabeth decided the issue. Unless Ianthe somehow also knows that Coronabeth isn't in the system anymore, but I don't recall Harrow and Ianthe having that conversation about the shuttle that found Harrow, let alone the fact Coronabeth was on it.

I will confess to the Lesbian Space Necromancers pitch totally working on me. I was in the mood for something that didn't take itself too seriously while also taking itself totally seriously, if that makes sense, and was rewarded amply. Plus I am a sucker for necromancy in specific and space fantasy in general, so your suggested pitch also would've worked really well on me.
