#WritersCoffeeClub August 27: "Does ‘humanity’ as a concept figure often in your works? How so?" do you mean definition #1? The quality of being humane? Sure. I like to write about characters who care. or definition #2? The quality or state of being human? Again, yes, many of my characters are homo sapiens, so duh. or definition #3? The totality of human beings? Hard to avoid, when you are writing about interactions between us and other worlds.
