Sometimes you get lucky when you join a new organization and meet awesome people in the process. When I joined Trifecta Publishing House I was a little nervous, as any new author would be. Would I get a chance to meet the other authors? Would we be competing to be the highest ranked read on Amazon? Or would I be considered that weird girl who dreams up plots dealing with alien sex (we’ll get to that in another blog post.)

But after reading and meeting the author behind, The Dark Truth, Jerry Knaak, I knew we’d be friends. Why? Not only does he say things how he means it, but he has an amazing world view that keeps me on my toes. I never know what he’ll think of next. Besides, adding another male feminist to my list of friends is always a plus.

When he asked me to be a part of his podcast, Get the Knaak, to talk about feminism, science fiction, and my work as a writer, I jumped at the chance to join him.

Not only did we dig into how writers can bring diversity into their work without trying too hard, we talked about how feminism is shaping the next frontier. Take a listen here or wherever you listen to podcasts now!

What do you think? Does feminism have a place in science fiction? Let us know in the comments below!

You can find Jerry Knaak hanging out all over the web. His tweets are hilarious and his next book, The Dark Descent, will be available in April 2018. Haven’t caught up on the first installment of his work? Buy The Dark Truth today wherever books are sold! You’ll be glad you did!
