The award-winning Elizabeth Hand is that special kind of writer who can seemingly do anything. She’s written novels (including: Generation Loss, Mortal Love, and most recently, Illyria), short stories, comics (Anima), and movie and television spin-off novels (including: Boba Fett: Maze of Deception and12 Monkeys).

We talked about her wonderful new YA novel, Illyria, terrible auditions, and the importance of character’s names among other things. Elizabeth also gives me some writing advice–advice she admits she has and will continue to ignore!

Her website is ElizabethHand.com.
