Jennifer Hayashi Danns: Adventures with Gender

Today we present you with something very different! Jennifer Hayashi Danns tells us about her journey to being an author and describes her innovative fantasy novel Beneath the Burning Wave. This book breaks new ground using neutral pronouns for the first half before evolving into a kind of 'fallen' split language, this gives Jennifer a chance to invent a pre-history for civilisation. As Jennifer is a black British writer, we discuss her experience of representation both on and off the page.
