Yes, the comics artist (and occasional commenter here) William George briefly interviewed me for his blog, on writing, SF, and ideas. Check out the interview over at Dimes for Nickels! (And while you’re there, check out Yes You Can! (which starts here), his bizarre, fun fantasy webcomic featuring a mage-girl named Black Berry (duh!) Cherry Berry.
(Though I love the name Black Berry…)
*ahem*
The main character is named “Cherry Berry”.
*hem*
;)
Argh, I even knew that! I guess “Black Berry” just stuck out in my mind or something. I’ll fix it now! :)
Black Berry is Cherry’s sexy evil mom. I’m glad she stuck with you. That means I did it right. :D
I have a BlackBerry, and we all know that BlackBerrys (-Berries?) are Canadian technology, so…
William,
She did!
Kevin,
Eh? (BTW BlackBerries weren’t on my radar till a while after I left Canada. I hard of them in some TV show I think, or online, and only later heard they were Canadian.)
re: BlackBerries
I imagine that they’re rather passé now, with their tiny screens and tinier keyboards. Everything’s evolved into “smart phones” with haptic technology. (Even BlackBerries, come to think of it.)
They started to get popular enough here that I saw students using them… until the iPhone came out, and bam! those were everywhere. The haptics on Korean phones are less, er… well, actually, they’re just plain less.
I 100% stole the name from the phone. I needed to make the name “Berry” evil somehow and I figured that cell phones had enough evil to share.
William,
Oh, I figured that. “Scary Berry” would have been too Spice Girls, so Black Berry makes sense. :)
