What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Adventures of Space Girl Green?
Green was a side character in The Adventures of Space Girl Red that turned into a major supporting role. I always thought of her as brilliant but non-confident. In Red you see her at the beginning of the novel, and then when you see her again chapters later, there is such a change people comment on it. How does someone gain confidence? This sequel started out as a side story about Green visiting her father’s dead planet. Then I latched onto the Wizard of Oz book when I realized all the characters, including Dorothy, already had what they wanted from the wizard. Then I sci-fied it up by making the characters into androids like those on the TV show Westworld.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Adventures of Space Girl Green, what would they be?
I listened to a lot of Grimes while writing Green. She kind of has a similar vibe to the book.
