As A newly published author, I am a little nervous about the interview process. However, I will confront my fears as you did, and be honored to have the support and unbiased opinion

I love how after reading a certain book you create a personality for the author only to find it's nothing close to what you thought through this interviews.

Thanks for reading Drone Child, Odek! I’ll welcome your further thoughts on either the book or the Club’s excellent questions. Lemba and I both love technology for social good and hate sociopaths and dictators. We both grew up in loving families. In real life, my sister and I are very close friends, just like Lamba and Josiane. But, yes, in many other ways Lemba and I couldn’t be more different, so I ran the novel past two wonderful Congolese to make sure I was on target. One role model of mine, as a creator, was Stephen Crane, who wrote The Red Badge of Courage, a classic Civil War novel, even though the war ended six years before he was born. Here’s to research!

The author interviews are my favorite!

I appreciate the comments the author made about race. Being an outsider and writing from that perspective must be a challenge. Having others take it seriously and connect with the text is a whole other mountain to climb.

Seriously speaking... Author's interviews are always the best for me.
Difference in races closing up is something I look forward to; nice to also hear the author comment on it.

I enjoyed the author's quote of the former war writer that sealed his fate , "He said writers aren't smart enough to be doctors or good-looking enough to be actors. So I settled for something a little less scary".
The interview for me was quite humorous and well-detailed.
