If everything had gone according to plan, you would have heard an episode of Eating the Fantastic recorded at Convivial<\/a>, a restaurant in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, D.C., last February with guest Tom Doyle in Episode 4<\/a>. But reservations were hard to come by, because the spot was #5 on Tom Sietsema\u2019s list of the Top 10 restaurants in\u00a0The Washington Post\u2019s 2016 Fall Dining Guide<\/a> and #9 on Eater’s Winter 2017 list of The 38 Essential D.C. Restaurants<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One year later, though, I had better luck, and so was joined there by Sunny Moraine, who has published short fiction in Clarkesworld<\/em>, Strange Horizons<\/em>, Apex<\/em>, Uncanny<\/em>, Lightspeed<\/em>, and other magazines, as well as many novels, and was dubbed in Locus Online<\/em> to be the most promising author of 2013<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We discussed the best writing advice they’ve heard, how being named the most promising author of 2013 messed with their mind, their favorite Ray Bradbury story (which is one of their all-time favorite stories period), why they write Walking Dead<\/em> fan fiction, the contradictions of writing a breakout book, how they decided their trilogies were meant to be trilogies, and more. (They refused, however, to tell me for whom the bell actually tolls or why birds suddenly appear every time you\u2019re near.) Plus—I reveal how Tim Burton prevented me from eating a perfect sticky toffee pudding!<\/p>\n
