Una McCormack: Asylum.
One of the joys of tie-in fiction is the way that it can delve into
the backgrounds of characters to make the viewing experience feel
richer because the fan has a greater understanding of what
motivates the characters.
In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Jonathan Koan and Casey Pettitt are proud to welcome author Una McCormack to talk about her Strange New Worlds novel, Asylum. We discuss starting the book, timelines, the Academy storyline, lectures, and interesting friendship, the mystery, themes, writing the SNW crew, references, using talents, heartbreak, a fun note, where to find Una and our final thoughts.
