Castle Talk: Piper Mejia on her Urban Fantasy Dispossessed and the Strange Power of Finding Family

Sherri Welcomes

Chatting With Sherri welcomes award-nominated​ author Piper Mejia!Piper Mejia is an advocate for New Zealand writers and literature and is a co-founder of Young NZ Writers - a non-profit dedicated to providing opportunities for young NZ writers. Her short fiction has appeared in a range of publications including Babyteeth, Conclave, Spec-Fic Short Cuts, Short Cuts Track 1, Te Korero Ahi Ka and Tricksters Treats 3.  A collection of her short stories, The Better Sister, will be published by Breach in 2020. As a child, Piper stayed up late laughing at horror films. As an adult, she spends a lot of time being disappointed by plot holes and yet somehow she has never lost her love for Science Fiction and Horror; two genres that continue to ask the question “What if …”The Better Sister; Throughout literature authors return again and again to the theme of three sisters; Cinderella and her two stepsisters, Medusa was one of three gorgons, King Lear had three daughters. Too often the sisters are portrayed as an innocent virgin, a sinful temptress, and a vengeful crone whose only purpose is to marry, trick or kill the prince. This collection of stories explores the complexity of the sister-trio relationship in worlds where women struggle for a voice, a place to stand; and peace in themselves.
