About the Author
To Rose, thank you for all the years of creative partnership and nerdy badassery.
Let’s rock the year of the #Lion!
Acknowledgements
As always, I would like to express my gratitude to two people who make my writing projects possible: my editor Jaime Krause and my cover designer Jennifer A. Miller. You two have provided outstanding support and helped me become a better writer over the years!
This compilation of interviews wouldn’t have been possible without all my outstanding guests: Christin Gattuso, Lisa M. Collins, Becca Benjamin, Dr. Janina Scarlet, Alexandra Moody, Emma Swinehart, Bethany Blanton, Sarah Hashmi, Zen DiPietro, Sandra Choute, and Megan Zomboracz Cullinan. Thank you for your interest in being part of this project and for takin the time to answer my questions.
Of course, I cannot forget everyone else who has supported this project since it started as a monthly blog feature in March 2015. Without you, I would not have been able to keep this project going. I am grateful to see this series running strong after more than three years and see more women accept my invitation to participate. Thank you!
Sci-Fi Women Still Matter (Take Two)
When I started Sci-Fi Women Interviews as a monthly feature on my blog in March 2015, I was hoping to see the series flourish as a platform for women involved in Science Fiction, whether authors, bloggers, cosplayers, graphic artists, scholars, or fangirls. If I was able to run this series for a year, that would be great. Here we are in 2018, on the fourth year of the series. It is heart-warming and a special accomplishment to me that it has grown so much. I am grateful to the amazing nerdy women I have met and to everyone who has supported them.
While my nexus has fallen to the way side due to my doctoral studies, Sci-Fi Women Interviews remains the one project I keep nurturing. Science Fiction is a significant part of the woman I am, including with my academic endeavors. Celebrating fellow nerdy women is dear to my heart and this practice shall continue and expand even more, not only within my personal life but to influence society and culture.
Christin Gattuso
Christin currently lives in Alabama, and works as a textiles mechanic. She fixes giant weaving looms, and loves to carry her tools around all day. In her free time, she draws, writes, works on her car, and busies herself with other DIY projects. Even though her degree is in computer animation, she feels that her best art is done when she does it as a hobby. It’s a way for her to unwind and not be under pressure with rigorous deadlines. She also enjoys cosplay, and she has a 1920’s upright grand piano in her garage that she is restoring. She is married to a pretty nifty guy`
who is as much into writing and Sci-Fi as she is, and they have three cats that are spoiled rotten. You can find more about her art on Facebook.

NG: How were you first introduced to Science Fiction?
GATTUSO: Honestly? I don’t really remember the exact introduction I had to Sci-Fi. The best I can offer are some of my fondest memories in Jacksonville, Florida, and my family taking dinner in the living room one night a week to watch the latest episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. I was probably about 10 or so, and hadn’t quite found my niche. Looking back, I suppose my introduction to Sci-Fi can be attributed to those nights. I had the spot on the sofa closest to the TV, with my sister sitting on the floor at the coffee table and my parents on
