Mini Valentines Interview: Jessica
Gunn
1.) Can you
tell us a little bit about the Atlas Link Series? What genre is it and
what makes it unique?
Thank you for having me, Pat!
:)
The Atlas Link Series is a new adult sci-fi/fantasy. The
first book, Gyre, is about what happens when a Navy engineering prodigy and a
fledgling archaeologist accidentally uncover evidence of Atlantis, and place
not only a classified Navy vessel but the entire world in the crosshairs of an
ancient time-travel war between Atlantis and Lemuria.
What makes it unique for me is that while it’s a new adult
story in a different sci-fi/fantasy kind of near-future setting, there are
a lot of very recognizable things in it. But I also got to play with ancient
history and time travel and powers, so I thought it was fun! :) There’s a
little bit of everything in these books.
2) In the spirit of Valentine's day, tell me
about the romance in the books! What is the relationship between the two
characters like?
Chelsea and Trevor’s relationship is sweet in the first
book, but it’s weighed down by what their respective heritages are, her
newfound powers, and his secrets. There’s a lot going on, and the first book’s
events are just the tip of the iceberg. But they’re both so fiercely loyal, not
only to each other but to SeaSatellite5 and making the world right, that
they’ll fight through anything for each other, regardless of where their relationship
stands. I think that loyalty is what makes their romance intense, even when
it’s sweet :)
3) What
would be the ideal Valentine's Day date for the couple in your
book?
Oh gosh! Well, I actually
had this perfect date scene in the original version of Gyre, but it got cut
during edits! Chelsea took Trevor to the arcade her best friend’s father owns,
and they played arcade cabinets for hours. They’re both gamers, Trevor more so,
and it was the cutest scene of them both just genuinely being themselves, like
the rest of the world and all the crazy happening in it didn’t matter. So: an
arcade to themselves with drinks and loud music.
