Interview: Aeryn Rudel
This month's author discusses Robin Hobb, opening hooks, and everyday demons
As a thank you to our paid subscribers, we post interviews with each of our authors to go along with their story. This week we sit down with Aeryn Rudel, author of What Comes After Forever.
How do you view religion in your own life and how does that influence religion in the worlds you create?
I’m an atheist, but I was raised in an Evangelical Christian household, so my childhood was steeped in Christian traditions and teachings. Although I have abandoned the faith I was brought up with, I still find that Judeo-Christian and biblical narratives influence my work quite a bit. Demons, angels, and biblical characters often appear in my stories and novels and serve as allegories for the themes and subjects I find compelling.
