Interviewed at Amazing Stories

Neat interview. Wishing you the best with Long Count Press, finding both some awesome stories and novels, and the time to keep it moving forward and growing.

 

Congratulations on setting up Long Count Press. Your focus on the 'rich cultural heritage' of Mesoamerica sounds really interesting. I think working with the existing history, stories and culture of the land where you live (or if you don't live there a land that inspires you) is really important-keeping the old tales of a place alive yet reworking and retelling them in new ways. Existent myths can be a really deep and productive source for fantasy writing. Or so I've found with the myths, folk and fairytales of the British Isles anyhow.

 

Great interview. I was really inspired by the call for submissions, so I put together a story outline and did a bunch of research, but the story isn't coming together. Argh.

 

Did not see a listing for 'Long Count Press' on 'Ralan'.

 

Congratulations, Steerpike! Here's to a wonderful future with your career!
