I just try to do that as sleekly as possible, so people won’t start to tune it out to get back to the plot. Creating a tropical, Jewish world that’s a cross between my upbringing/current life and an idealized version of my childhood home is the backbone of the worldbuilding for my books. So anything that’s described is something that was important enough to me to fit through my “aaack, description!” filter. I’m a little impatient with myself when I write and almost underdescribe, for fear that if I spend too much time on description people will skip it. In worldbuilding, how do you decide how much detail is enough? The physical landscape, economy, day to day life, and religious practices of Perach and its neighbours emerge throughout each story over the series. Fun fact: a glorious abundance of artwork depicting the main characters created by fans and the author can be found here. The Olive Conspiracy, a fourth Mangoverse novel, has just been released. The Second Mango, Climbing the Date Palm, and A Harvest of Ripe Figs are the first three installments in a fantasy series starring a nerdy young lesbian queen and focusing on feminist themes, family of choice, and all the different types of female (and sometimes male) strength, not just physical prowess. The setting is a world with dragons, wizards, magic spells, and shapeshifting witches, and most of the characters are Jewish.
Author Shira Glassman is best known for her Mangoverse series, which begins with The Second Mango.
