I have a story in this handsome-looking anthology from
Gypsum Sound Tales called Colp Issue 1: The Passage of Time. That great cover was done by Luke Spooner at Carrion House.
My story, 'Land of Youth ', has a journalist interviewing a former film
actress at her home in Ireland
which she claims was built on a fairy fort and where, as a result, time gets
confused. It's about how we expect our movie idols to remain ever youthful and
how, in our imaginations, they kind of do.
I wrote the story shortly after hearing about the sad death
of Carrie Fisher back in December 2016. Fisher, playing Princess Leia in
Star Wars, was one of my childhood crushes, and her death got me thinking about
the way film stars are at the mercy of passing time like the rest of us,
but at the same time immortal in the roles they play.
