Gay Degani is the founder of Every Day Fiction's Flash Fiction Chronicles, which published my essay "Hint Fiction: When Flash Fiction Becomes Just Too Flashy," which then spawned the whole Hint Fiction craze, so I owe Gay a lot. Her first novel, What Came Before, is out now from Every Day Novels, which is currently posting a free chapter a day (though the hardcover is now available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble). Gay took some time to talk to me about the novel and the writing process. Check it out!
