Claire L. Evans' Road to Science Fiction Expertise →
Shawn Conner: You seem to have a lot of diverse interests, and I wanted to know where they branch out from – where your initial interests lay? Claire L. Evans: I’ve always been into sci-fi. When I was a little kid I read a lot of Ray Bradbury and Arthur C. Clarke.  I studied literature in university.

Let’s talk about the places you like in Portland and L.A., the cities you’re most tied to. Jona Bechtolt: We could talk about this stuff forever. We can talk about basically any major city in the world… Claire: You go to a new city and find a vegetarian restaurant, and you’re kind of mainlining into whatever subculture is going on there.
