Interview with John Wegener, Author of Lunar Rift (Solar Dawn Book 1)

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Lunar Rift (Solar Dawn Book 1)?

I originally wrote the Reach for the Stars series set in the near future, but it has many speculative events and inventions. I wanted to reduce the speculation to conceivable scientific development in the next 100-150 years or so. Solar dawn is based on this premise.

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Science fiction. Yes!

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Light Bringer by Pierce Brown, Helliconia by Brian Aldiss, Revelation Space by Alistair Reynolds.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Rini trying to save the space station smelter arm from separating from the space station.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Nothing is impossible, but miracles take a little longer.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

The enduring drive of humanity to survive.
