Fonda Lee is the author of the epic fantasy Green Bone Saga, beginning with Jade City, continuing in Jade War, and concluding in Jade Legacy. She is also the author of the science fiction novels Zeroboxer, Exo and Cross Fire. Fonda is a winner of the World Fantasy Award, as well as a three-time winner of the Aurora Award (Canada’s national science fiction and fantasy award), and a multiple finalist for the Nebula Award, the Locus Award, and the Oregon Book Award. A new novella set in the Green Bone Saga universe, The Jade Setter of Janloon, is out soon
We had a great chat with Fonda, talking about writing fantasy novels that eschew the usual medieval European setting and the importance of authenticity when writing about different cultures. She also tells us why authors should be okay with waiting for that breakthrough novel, and talks about what inspired her to write the Green Bone Saga.
