Stina is a Crawford & Astounding Award finalist, a fierce feminist, and a fantasy and science fiction author with descriptive tags that roam from pirates to space opera. From gender altered reinterpretation of the Seven Samurai tropes to some of the most entertaining short stories, she talks about the importance of representation, snappy dialogue, and a bit of humor to move the plot along.
