Marion Deeds has been on the Fantasy Literature staff since March 2011. She’s retired from a 35-year career with county government, where she met enough interesting characters and heard enough zany stories to inspire at least two trilogies’ worth of fantasy fiction. Currently she spends part of her time working at a local used bookstore. Marion has been publishing short fiction for years. On her blog Deeds & Words, she reviews many types of books and follows developments in food policy and other topics.
In case you haven’t heard, our own Marion Deeds‘ novel Copper Road was recently published by Falstaff Books. After reading and reviewing it, I had some questions about the story, the world Marion created, and her writing process. I’m pleased to share her answers with you. Marion will send a signed copy of Copper Road to one of our commentors with a U.S. address (if our winner is outside the U.S., we’ll send a $5 Amazon gift card).
Bill Capossere: I mentioned in my review how meticulously constructed the plot felt.
