In this episode of Westcoast Booksters Podcast, we're talking with Autumn Krause about The Gods Will Sing Our Song, a powerful story that brings together Japanese mythology, romance, history, and the often-overlooked story of Japanese American incarceration during World War II.

Autumn uses her story to shine a light on the history of Japanese internment camps in the United States and the experiences of Japanese Americans who were forcibly incarcerated during World War II. We discuss why it was important for her to bring attention to this painful chapter of American history and how she incorporated Japanese mythology and folklore into the story.

We're talking about Japanese mythology, Japanese folklore, historical fantasy, romance, Japanese American incarceration, internment camps, identity, family, love, resilience, and the importance of remembering history.

Join us for a thoughtful conversation with Autumn Krause about the inspiration behind The Gods Will Sing Our Song, the research that went into the story, and why remembering the history of Japanese American internment and incarceration matters.
