hannibal's battlefield joke. scifiwritir November 25 2007, 12:22:18 UTC

Oh gee, you academics! Woman, you've got to tell me what was Hannibal's wicked battlefield joke?

I suspect those classical warriors really affect us writers more than we know. One of my favorite lines was from Genghis Khan: "Kill everyone and leave no eye open to weep for the dead." So of course that line ended up you know where.

I hope you do get the Triptree award. Amberlight is excellent.
Congratulations! -C

Oh, I can't resist telling that one in full now, since Moon's given me licence to gas ( ... )

It just cracked me up too.

Good jokes are eternally witty. -C

Excellent Interview. Thorough and Fabulously Done! anonymous November 27 2007, 01:02:14 UTC

Thank you for such a fun, thorough, and extensive interview.
I enjoyed it. I agree with Carole, witty jokes never go out of style.

Best,

Hannibal as Inspiration anonymous November 27 2007, 01:32:38 UTC

It's not everyday you come across someone who has been inspired to write fiction by Hannibal the general and not Hannibal the cannibal. I love to hear about unique and different sources of inspiration. Thanks for the great interview, Moon.

What a superb interview - some of the best discussion of creativity and process I've seen. I have all of Ms. Kelso's books and intend to follow her work always. How cool that one of the most fascinating historical personages of all time, Hannibal, is the author's inspiration!
