About this listen

In this engaging conversation, Janeen Ippolito and J.M. Hackman explore the resurgence of fairy tale retellings, particularly in the context of science fiction. They discuss the blending of genres, the challenges and rewards of writing, and the importance of character development. Hackman shares her journey as an author, her transition from portal fantasy to fairy tales, and the unique aspects of her latest work, a Little Red Riding retelling called 'All the Wild Hearts.' Plus, Jill answers the random question - and Wallace & Gromit get involved (sort of).
