Today we have a new SF Canada member interview. Marie Powell recently spoke with Sci Fi Saturday Night about about her new series Last Of The Gifted and the first book in this saga, Spirit Sight.
“Those familiar with most of her past work as a children’s author will be quite delighted at the beauty, maturity and difference in this work. While some have referred to this as YA, I will vociferously disagree. This is the beginning of a wonderfully well written series of novels. Take the time to listen to her, get to know her, read the book and do what we did.”
