Her most recent novel is Heart of Stone, Book 2 of the Serpents and Stone Series. In this episode, Emma and Jonathan Rogers talk about the challenges of writing historical fantasy, and how a mid-century ballet, spelunking in the Appalachians, and a copper mine tour in Chile gave birth to this fantasy trilogy.
