I had the honour and privilege of being recently interviewed by the Jade Moon Magazine publisher, Ivana Milanovic, with whom I talked about the inspirations behind the writing of the Sword Maiden from the Moon duology, and about the wuxia genre in general. This interview, along with Ivana's amazing review of the two books (The Heavenly Sword and The Earthly Blaze), have appeared in Issue #2 of the magazine (June 2025).
Jade Moon Magazine is a bilingual (English & Montenegrin) cultural periodical focused on exploring the Chinese culture in depth. Ivana, a native of Montenegro who lives in Rome, Italy, is clearly passionate about this topic and has poured her heart and soul into researching, compiling and editing the magazine.
Some of the attractions of Issue #2 include an overview of the traditional culture of the Kingdom of Chu 楚國 in the Warring States era, an introduction to the ancient poetry anthology "Songs of Chu" or "Songs of the South" 楚辭, an exhibit of the various ethnic tribal cultures of Yunnan, stories of the four most handsome men of China, etc.
The digital version of this Issue #2 (as well as of Issue #1) is available for free download from the magazine's Instagram account profile.
