Sci-fi fantasy

Date Published: 01-19-2022

Publisher: Indies United

In 2045 America is ruled by ‘The Brain’. It’s a country of dried-up rivers, computer project educations, holographs, and robots. Most species have died off and even fresh air is scarce. Children don’t form bonds and therefore can’t love. They become drones – dangerous killers. The answer lies on a road in Pindar Corners but to find it is to risk the loss of your soul.

In need of a hero, Harry Erin Cooper steps up to the plate and, along with his wife, Adina, they restore what should have been.

Interview

What is the hardest part of writing your books?

The book I’m writing now is very difficult and the difficulty is pulling through the narrative, so it makes sense. It’s about murder so who murdered who and why? I don’t want it to be predictable and that’s tough.

What songs are most played on your Ipod?

Jazz vocals, music from the 70’s, Joni Mitchel, Natalie Merchant, Caro Emerald, Madelyn Peyroux, Kat Edmonton, etc.

Do you have critique partners or beta readers?

Yes, I do, most helpful.

What book are you reading now?

I’m going to start Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty

How did you start your writing career?

I always wrote, first a diary, then poetry, then short stories and now novels.

Tell us about your next release.

My next release is Book Three of The Fourniers, Memory of Music, and it follows the newest generation of Fourniers. Fanny Fournier grows up in the 1950s and life evolves around her love affairs, her mistakes, and her triumphs. The book ends in 2006 and from there we might pick up Cody Fournier’s life.
