Q&A with Elle Casey

 

 

 

I love the way this story starts out looking very conventional--even fairytale-like--and then turns darker. How does it compare to other things you’ve written?

 

I would say that The Ivory Tower is on par with my Apocalypsis series which is also post-apocalyptic fiction. I think anything in that genre is going to have a touch of darkness to it. The difference between my other series and this short story is that this new story takes place in a science fiction space realm rather than on Earth. Both feature strong female leads and a good versus evil kind of vibe.

 

What do you like best about writing SF, and space opera in particular?

 

I love writing stories about a possible future that perhaps my children might see. Space… the final frontier… I can really let my mind run wild up there.

 

You’re incredibly prolific. What are you writing now?

 

I’m finishing up a ten-book Urban Fantasy series I started in 2012 called War of the Fae. It’s probably my most popular series of all my books and a ton of fun to write. After that I’ll be adding to my space opera series Drifters’ Alliance.
