What
is your favorite time period and why?
Our favorite time period is the present because
technology has given us more opportunities than ever before. Of course, this
has drawbacks as people have become dependent and often myopic…spending more
time on their phones than actually communicating with each other; however,
technology as afforded us access as writers. Research is literally at the tip
of our fingers. When we were writing Anomalies, we didn’t have to leave our
homes to research things like desalination, topography and ancient history.
Often times, we were on different continents and we were able to Skype when we
had questions for each other. It is sometimes nice to fantasize about other
time periods and the past is certainly rich with history, but the present has
been unbelievably conducive to our job as writers.
