In Part 1 of the interview, host Jenn Labuz welcomes science-fiction and fantasy author Adrienne Miles to discuss her upcoming novel Spider’s Wyrd. Miles introduces the story of a future starfighter who crash-lands on a lost colony world, uncovers unexpected paranormal abilities, and must navigate both war and mystery to survive. She shares how lifelong love of science fiction, early influence from Analog magazines and Anne McCaffrey, and her Air Force background shaped the book’s military-space-opera roots. Miles also reflects on her writing origin story, balancing service, motherhood, and creativity before finally returning to—and reinventing—her debut novel.

About the Book

Spiders Wyrd

Shot down in the backcountry of the planet that she was deployed to protect, starfighter Ulla Thorsdaughter wants only to get back to civilization so she can get back in the sky. The Fates have other plans. Thrown into an unfamiliar culture, Ulla struggles to control her newly emergent psi powers and come to terms with the secrets that fuel her recurring nightmares. Not to mention fitting into her new-found community.

One that thinks she is their greatest hope.

Ulla begs to differ.
