Happy 4th of July to the Americans out there, and happy uhm… Tuesday (?) to everyone else!
This week, See These Bones is on sale for $0.99 in US markets and discounted (as much as I manually could) everywhere else. As part of the ongoing promotion, I answered some fun questions about the story (and my writing, in general) for ManyBooks. Here’s one small snippet:
What drew you to Dystopian fantasy as a genre?
What I find most interesting about dystopian settings is how often they actually center on hope, on people who hold strong to ideals or convictions even though it might cost them everything. When the world is grim and bleak, someone’s struggle against that environment, or against an inevitable fate, is that much more noteworthy. It goes back to the old line of ‘it’s easy to be good when everything goes someone’s way.’ In a dystopian world, a lot of the internal stressors we deal with in reality are writ large and become active, external threats, such that standing against them, even in vain, becomes an act of almost nobility. That dynamic is extremely powerful, and something I love about the genre.
I had a lot of fun with the interview. Please check out the rest here: https://manybooks.net/featured-authors/chris-tullbane-post-apocalyptic-superhero-coming-of-age-ghost-story
The See These Bones sale continues through this coming Saturday, and all books in the series (and even the setting) remain free to read for Kindle Unlimited subscribers.
