How much rewriting of the book did you do before you decided to publish? Learn anything about the earlier you in the process?

Subsequently, he introduced me to his agent, Bob Mecoy and Bob sold it to Night Shade. He told me he loved it, and that I should try one more time to sell it to a traditional publisher. The only reason it sold now was because I was digging though my old stuff trying to figure out which things I could dust off and e-publish, and I sent Jane to Howard Jones, asking him if he thought it was good enough to unleash upon the world. Yup, I wrote Jane Carver ten years ago, and after getting no response from the various publishers I sent it to back then, I left it on the shelf and moved on to other things. Is it true that this book was actually your first novel and is only just now seeing publication? I saw ERB’s Mars through the beer goggles of Frazetta’s vision of it. I read the Barsoom books for the spectacle, and Frazetta’s paintings and ink drawings completely colored my imagining of that spectacle. I’d already read The Lord of the Rings and Fritz Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser books by that point, so I was acquainted with top notch plotting and characterization. They had great pace and terrific invention, but even when I was thirteen I thought John Carter was a bit of a stiff, and I knew that the plots were simplistic. In fact, I’ll go further than that, and say that those covers were more of an influence on me and Jane than the words inside them were. I think I discovered the John Carter books when I was thirteen or fourteen, and I’ll be honest, I probably wouldn’t have picked them up except for the Frazetta covers on those old Science Fiction Book Club hardbacks. When was your first encounter with this kind of adventure SF? Would you count Burroughs as an early influence? I wanted Jane to be based on my feelings for and memories of them, rather than any kind of one-for-one retelling. In fact, when I wrote it, I deliberately did not go back and read any of the original Barsoom books. I tried very hard to restrain myself from putting any of these in, and other than Jane’s name, you won’t find many direct references to any other specific book. These always pull me out of the story and break the illusion of reality that is so important to fantasy fiction. I also hate overloading books with in-jokes and nods to those in the know. A book should be a book first, thoroughly enjoyable by itself, and anything else the author wants to make it second. It is my belief that a book should stand on its own, even when commenting on another book or genre.

I dislike parodies and homages that require some knowledge of the thing being parodied. I did my best to make sure they wouldn’t, as that is one of my pet peeves. I really hope readers won’t need to be familiar with the Planetary Romance genre to enjoy the book.

There she has a sequence of wild adventures while trying to help a not-very-heroic young alien noble rescue his kidnapped bride.

It tells the story of Jane Carver, a hard-riding biker chick who gets herself on the wrong side of the law and ends up hiding in a cave that transports her to a world full of strange aliens with stranger customs. Now I know I’m supposed to call it a Planetary Romance, but I still like mine better. Jane Carver of Waar is what I used to call, before I knew any better, a “Sword and Raygun” adventure. Tell us a bit about the book, and do you think readers need to be familiar with Edgar Rice Burroughs, Barsoom, and other stories of that era to fully appreciate Jane Carver? Jane Carver of Waar is a Barsoomesque adventure for the modern reader, and something that treads the line between loving homage and knowing send-up of classic pulp SF. Welcome, Nathan, and thanks for sitting down with Black Gate to talk about your latest novel.
