In this episode, I speak with debut science fiction author Stephanie Bretherton, whose first novel Bone Lines is a dual-narrative tale that explores both pre-history and contemporary genetic science.
We talk about climate fiction, how the issues we’re facing in the world are reflected in fiction, how to get published later in life, women in sci-fi, and more.

About Stephanie Bretherton
Born in Hong Kong to a pair of Liverpudlians (and something of a nomad ever since), Stephanie is based in London but manages her sanity by escaping to any kind of coast. Before returning to her first love of writing fiction, Stephanie spent many years pursuing alternative forms of storytelling, from stage to screen and media to marketing. Meanwhile, an enduring love affair with words has led her down many a wormhole on the written page.
Drawn to what connects rather than separates, Stephanie is fascinated by the spaces between absolutes and opposites, between science and spirituality, nature and culture. This lifelong curiosity – and occasional conflict – has been channelled into her debut novel, Bone Lines, and into short stories, poems and various works in progress. This includes the continuation of the Children of Sarah series, of which Bone Lines is the first story.
