August 2024 Box
Charlie N. Holmberg
We’ve been running Scribbler for nearly seven years. That a long time and a lot of boxes. This month is a first for us - the first time we’ve ever revisited an author. Charlie N. Holmberg’s novel, Spellbreaker, was featured in our December 2020 box. She shared her thoughts on writing “Cliffhangers” in the passport. This month we’re featuring her latest novel, Still the Sun, a beautifully crafted sci-fi delight. So, why revisit? Well, for one, Charlie keeps putting out fantastic material. But the real reason is that we changed the format of our passports to long-form interview and really wanted to sit down with her and talk shop. And we weren’t disappointed - just a great conversation. This box actually has another first - this time with out PPIL. It’s the first time we’ve featured content around the crafting of a graphic novel. It’s a fascinating peek behind the creative curtain with Teresa Wong.
