China Underground Interview re: The Heavenly Sword

 

I had a nice chat with Matteo Damiani from China Underground (an Italian online culture magazine) on the inspirations and creative process in the writing of The Heavenly Sword
 
 
The preamble:
 
"From Hong Kong to Canada, Alice Poon’s experiences and love for Chinese history and mythology have culminated in her captivating fantasy novel, “The Heavenly Sword.” Drawing from her background, Poon expertly weaves a rich tapestry that combines fantastical martial arts, sorcery, celestial magic, and the complexity of human emotions. With her vivid imagination and skilled storytelling, Alice transports readers to a world where immortals, demons, and mortals coexist, and where love, loyalty, and sacrifice take center stage. In this interview, we explore Alice’s inspirations, creative process, and the unique elements that make her novel an enthralling journey into the realm of Chinese fantasy."
