Basically I write stories about things that I am really interested in. I love science I’ve been always very interested in science. Trying to workout, extrapolate things like that. The fantastic stuff is great too, but I like puzzling things out. Pat Cadigan: I am interested in things that can possibly happen.

After the panel we moved to a very comfy sofa and the interview went as you can read from now on. She was smiling and she got an aura of calm. Luckily I find Ian Watson and Cristina Macía at the convention, they were inside a very interesting panel about schizophrenia and character building and they pointed me a very lovely lady with a Viking horned wool hat. Since I know her work as a writer, I never googled any picture of her and I realized that I don’t know how she looks. I am about to meet Pat Cadigan, there to interview her. It is summer 2015 here in Copenhagen and I am heading to the Fantastikon, a Danish Science Fiction Convention.
