Interview with Sue Wilder, Author of Malice Moon

18 Jun 2025

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Malice Moon?

I often get a phrase stuck in my head. For Malice Moon, it was this: A woman who kidnaps an enemy ends up sacrificing herself to save him. I start to build the story out of that concept, and I’m not sure how the magic works, but by the end of the process, there’s a story.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Malice Moon, what would they be?

Music from The Witcher, Vikings, and The Last Kingdom covers it.

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

I read everything, but my favorite genre to write is fantasy.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Both new books and old friends I want to re-read.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

The scene where she’s stuck in the tree like a dragon snack. The other favorite scene was close to the end.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

Post-it notes are everywhere.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Do what you love, love what you do, and put light into the world.
