    Episode 55 - Exploring Davy Jones' Aquarium

    Karlissa J’s most recent fantasy novel is Davy Jones’ Aquarium. Jason has described it as the perfection of the way she wants to write. And it is a xenofiction story, where the main character is a quirky teenage merman. What inspired Karlissa to write a tale about a merman, and what did she enjoy about creating the world he would inhabit? You can learn more about Davy Jones’ Aquarium and my other books by visiting book-bat.com/books.

    Episode 53 - What Is Xenofiction?

    Xenofiction - stories told from a nonhuman perspective - is all around us! In this episode, Karlissa and Jason explore the appeal of xenofiction from a writer’s perspective and dive into a few examples of xenofiction. They discuss… Does it matter that Superman is an alien? Are hobbits truly distinct from humans? And what’s up with the animosity between the human Dr. Eggman and animal-people like Sonic the hedgehog? And of course, Karlissa sneaks in a quote from C.S. Lewis!
