Aimee Ogden is a former science teacher and software tester who now writes stories about sad astronauts, angry princesses, and dead gods. Her work has appeared in some of the greatest scifi & fantasy publications getting around, like Daily Scifi, Beneath Ceaseless Skies and Clarke’s World. This year, she has not one, but two space opera novellas launching into the world - the first of which is an intergalactic reimagining of the Little Mermaid.

In this episode we chat about Space Opera, crazy high-concept stories, and teenage lesbian necromancers in space. There were a few connection issues with sound, but Aimee provides amazing insight into the genre she calls her own.

Space Opera books recommended by Aimme include:

Chilling Effect by Valerie Valdes.

The Architects of Memory by Karen Osborne 

and

The Sisters of the Vast Black by Lina Rather

Aimee's newest novella Sun Daughters, Sea Daughters is out via Tor Books here.
