63: Sam Hawke Interview
Travis interviews fantasy author Sam Hawke about her latest book, Hollow Empire, out now from Tor Books. This concludes the Poison War duology, which stands out for its mystery elements, political intrigue, and optimism toward humanity. Plus, poison. So much poison. Sam and Travis discuss her contractual obligation to bring her fellow lawyers cake, the difficulty of rewriting an entire book from scratch, and the pure joy that comes with poisoning your friends. About Sam Hawke: Sam Hawke considered several careers (including zookeeper) before choosing law, getting a black belt in jujitsu and starting writing. She grew up and still lives in Canberra, Australia, where she and her husband are currently raising two small ninjas and two idiot dogs.
