Upcoming Twelve Planet author Kaaron Warren guests at Ebon Shores and talks about her work and all things Australian small press. Here’s what she had to say about her Twelve Planet, Through Splintered Walls:
Coming up, I have a first; a collection of all-new stories. Alisa Krasnostein, of Twelfth Planet Press, asked me to be part of her Twelve Planet series, along with other writers such as Cat Sparks, Margo Lanagan and Deborah Biancotti. The opportunity to write four new stories, of my own theme, my own obsessions, with this vital press, was one I would not consider turning down.
My theme emerged; the Australian landscape. On returning from three years in Fiji, I was struck anew by the beauty and terror, the vastness, the variety, of this country. The stories I wrote have this at their heart.
Alisa edited all four stories, with a sharp eye and a high talent for knowing what works. The novella, Sky, is something I’ve been working of for some time, trying to capture the true nastiness of it. Sometimes you have to force yourself to continue when writing horror.
