Writer Megan Willome and I had a long conversation about Dancing King, writing, fiction,
characters, the use of emotion, crowd scenes, and even bicycles in London. She
had read all three books in the Dancing Priest series.
“The stories haunt you, and not in a scary way. They serve as
almost an alternate history: What if the Athens Olympics unfolded like that?
What if England had a king on the throne instead of a queen? Like any good
alternate history, it has enough true details to make it seem real. So real
that I find myself thinking The Violence from book 2, A Light Shining, was as real as
The Troubles.”
