Remember how I published my “bookshelf” a couple of weeks ago, summarizing the books I’ve read this year? And remember how I was all fan-girl squee about Mira Grant’s Newsflesh trilogy (particularly, the last two volumes, which I’d just finished reading). And remember how Mira Grant is actually the pen-name for uber-successful urban fantasy writer Seanan McGuire?
Well, Wired magazine now has a great interview with Seanan/Mira, where she talks about how she developed her zombie apocalypse world, how she deals with her online life, and what she’s writing now. If you’re interested in Mira, Seanan, zombies, online culture, etc., you should go read it now.
And if you’re not interested in any of those things, but you want to know about how good writers research good book, then you should go read it now.
Basically, yeah. Go read it now.
