I woke super hard to have this 3Q’s space as inclusive as possible and featuring authors from all levels of success and experiences. The goal is to try and introduce YOU the reader to as many fantastic writers as I can. Today’s guest is a great writer and a fellow Canuck and someone I hope you all discover.

Please welcome Eva Roslin!

Welcome, Eva!

Steve: What does your writing time look like? Do you try to write at the same time each day? Do you have a word count you attempt to hit?

Eva: My writing time varies a lot – I have tried to be more methodical with the approximate time of mornings before the administrative stuff of the day has made my brain hurt LOL I do try to write at approximately the same time. There was a time when I was better at joining write-ins and sprints, but I wasn’t able to keep up so I curled up into a ball of shame. In the past, I definitely had word count goals I attempted to hit or especially when I participated in NaNoWriMo, but these days I try to focus more on the completion of writing sessions rather than attaching word count or pages to it.

Steve: If you could write a story for another author’s fictional world/series, which would it be and why?

Eva: There are so many cool things from which to choose! I think I would like the Anita Blake vampire hunter series because I loved reading it years ago and the first five or so books in the series set my world on fire in a good way. I would probably most love to do work on the world of a video game series, Legacy of Kain, because Kain and Raziel are two of the most interesting and nuanced vampires I’ve ever encountered, and their storytelling arcs are so rich.

Steve: Tell me about your newest release (novel/story/poem/novella) and why someone should read it!

Eva: My newest release is a short story called “The Sparrow’s Promise” in the anthology Kaleidoscope A Queer Anthology 2022, and I think folks should read not only my story but the others as well because they’re great explorations of relationship dynamics that resist harmful tropes in queer stories that have been pervasive for a long time in genre fiction and elsewhere.

Steve: Bonus Question! Do you have a cherished book?

Eva: I have several! One of my most cherished is a used copy of the National Geographic Traveler’s Guide to New Orleans, Second Edition that I picked up a few years ago. It captures the history of Louisiana, the complex meanings of things that are exceptional about New Orleans like food, music, architecture, and more. It also includes these amazing, in-depth maps and diagrams of the most granular details of what makes New Orleans so unique!

Oh wow! That is very, very cool!

Thank you so much, Eva!
