We were lucky enough to chat with Once & Future authors Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy about creating this King Arthur reimagining.

"I think, sometimes, there's an expectation that you have to stretch to create these [kinds of diverse] characters. And I think, to us, it would have been a stretch to not have a 'panoply of queerness' and a varied group of friends and people who populate this story. And, also, you know, you're dealing with a story based on the Knights of the Roundtable, which is a story that is maybe western civilization's first real fictive nod to equality."

Check out my full interview with McCarthy and Capetta about why this kind of reimagining of the King Arthur is past due, what their writing process together looks like, and why Wynonna Earp is the best show on TV.

Hayden | 3 comments Hi, I’m here for The Hive giveaway and my name is Hayden Murphy! I love when authors tell a reimagining of a popular story or historical time period! It’s interesting to see their spin on different tales and what could have been! I love alternate history fiction and am intrigued by this story!
