May 13. Does alienation feature in your work? Give an example.

Quite the opposite, actually. A large part of Water Against Chaos is about finding a place to belong.

May 12. In what ways does weather or season influence how and what you write?

Weather and seasons have been major and minor plot elements. My characters are powerful, but not so much that they aren't affected by weather and seasons.

May 9. Have you ever realised you’d included an unintended shibboleth in your own work?

If I correctly understand the meaning of the term, my work is full of shibboleths, most of which are intentional. Either you get them or they are invisible.

Apr 29: Have you ever written anything that didn't age well?

My first book was semi-autobiographical. But the issue isn't the writing, it's me.

I didn't age well.

Maybe so, but not what you're thinking.
