Q&A with Logan Thomas Snyder

 

 

 

Very cool world you’ve built here. What’s your favorite part of writing a short story like this, and of writing SF in general?

 

Thank you! My favorite part about writing SF in general is marrying relatable characters with the scope of the genre. As for this story, it takes place within the same universe as my space opera novelThe Lazarus Particle. It was a blast to return to the Particleverse, so much so that I intend to expand it into a series of stories over the next few years.

 

How does this story fit into the timeline of the Particleverse?

 

This story takes place before the events of The Lazarus Particle. It’s not exactly a prequel, but it does offer a bit more insight into Xenecia and her motivations. Plus it was just fun to write! The Lazarus Particle picks up where this story leaves off, so be sure to check it out if you enjoyed “Spike in a Rail.”

 

How long have you been writing, and what’s your long-term plan?

 

I started writing fiction in late 2010 and took the plunge as an independent author in 2014. Since then I haven’t looked back! My long-term plan is to keep writing, expand my audience, and hopefully go full-time in the near future.

 

What are your current works-in-progress?

 

Right now I’m finishing up my original contribution to Ann Christy’s Between Llife and Death series, a standalone novel titled Between Kings and Carnage. After that I’ll be returning to the Particleverse with a follow-up to The Lazarus Particle titled The Nemesis Cabal. I also have some other projects floating around in my head, but those two are my primary focus for 2016 and beyond.
