Join Elsa Sjunneson-Henry for lunch in Little Italy as we discuss her roller coaster of emotions the night she won a Hugo Award earlier this year during the Dublin Worldcon, how that editorial gig increased her empathy, the way writing roleplaying games and being a Sherlock Holmes nerd taught her about world-building and led to her first professional fiction sales, the dinosaur-themed Twitter feed that gave birth to her most recently published short story, the novel she's working on which she describes as <em>The Conjuring</em> meets <em>The Stand</em>, her expertise in obscenity law and fascination with the history of burlesque, why she felt the <em>Bird Box</em> novel handled blindness better than the movie, her background in competitive improv and the way that helped her within science fiction, advice on how not to let Internet trolls get you down, and much more.
