Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Brandie June.

Brandie spent most of her childhood onstage or reading, as both activities let her live in fantastic stories. She moved to Los Angeles to study acting at UCLA, and eventually branched out into costume design and playwriting. While she spends most of her free time writing, she will still take any excuse to play dress-up, especially if it involves wearing a crown.

She happily promotes more stories as a marketing director for kids' films and anime. When not writing or marketing, she can often be found doing aerial arts, playing board games, drinking too much espresso, and coming up with new art projects. She lives with her husband, two spoiled rescue pups, a spoiled cat, six fish tanks, and five bookshelves.

Today we’ll be discussing her debut novel, Gold Spun.

In this episode Brandie and I discuss:

How a love of fairytales and a unique NaNoWriMo project led to her debut novel.
Why she likes morally grey characters and how she brought that out in Goldspun.
What factors influenced her decision to not worry about historical accuracy.

Plus, her #1 tip for writers.
