Hey nerds! Today we have our final author interview for a while, and are ending with a bang with fantasy author Ja-Mel Vinson. Ja-Mel is the author of DREAMER, a fantasy novel with sci-fi elements about the descendent of Joan of Arc who must combat demonic forces.   It was incredible to walk through the trope-breaking elements of his novel, particularly of the sci-fi favourite of clones (why are they always "evil"?), how to write authentic diverse characters without having lived their experience and how diversity in fantasy focuses too heavily on discrimination and oppression. Really, we're asking, who is fantasy "escapist" for? Can we ever just have a nice non-racist, non-sexist, non-homophobic (etc..) systems in our fantasy stories?   Follow us down this weird, wonderful rabbit hole of magical women, alternative histories, utopic possibilities, and more!   Read DREAMER: https://www.amazon.ca/Dreamer-Ja-Mel-...
