Embroidering historical reality with magic: "The Embroidered Book" author Kate Heartfield on magic, SF, sexism, and journalism.

Kate Heartfield left a secure (ish) position as editorial page editor at the Ottawa Citizen a few years ago to pursue the career of science fiction writer. Since then, she's been writing novels, games, and more. Her newest novel, "The Embroidered Book" weaves the real history of Queen Charlotte of Naples and her sister Marie Antoinette of France with a gripping tale of magic, politics, and magical politics. We talk about that and much more.
