We chat about the novels that influenced us when we were growing up. for Tantz it was the sexy comic Storm and the novel The gods of Foxcroft, for me it was fantasy of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien, and later on SciFi by writer like Tanith Lee and her Don't bite the Sun and Drinking Sapphire Wine- both of which were very prophetic novels in the way they deal with hedonistic youth culture and the modern phenomenon of adults having extended childhoods while outsourcing more and more adult tasks to technology.
