I’m especially excited because Midpoint gets the Migration and its ragtag remnant of humans closer to their new home planet. There’s hope, there’s adventure, and of course there’s a bad guy (gal in this case). And cameo appearances by some of our favorites from the earlier books!
One of the questions I get as an author is how much do you put of yourself and your life into your books? As a fiction author (especially science fiction) it’s easy to say nothing. Right? I don’t live in space, and I was definitely not a kick-ass seventeen year old like my main characters. I wish I had been. So maybe that’s a small part of what we as authors put into our work – parts of us we wish had been.
But in my case there’s more to it than that. I grew up in diverse communities – my mom worked for the Apollo program and kept me in computer programming classes – and we also lived on a hippie commune in the mountains of Montana (after hitchhiking across country selling jewelry). I was a child of two worlds. Hippie child and space geek. So there’s a lot of the people I met, the cultures and ways of life I experienced, and the many ranges of human sanity that I’ve run into. I’m actually writing a non-fiction book on creative writing that tells more about these diverse experiences and their affect on my writing life. Look for that later in the year.
For now – start with Recycling Humanity first, if you haven’t read it yet – the ebook will be on sale next week for 99 cents from May 22 – 26, 2018. And look for Recycling Humanity #5 – Talia’s Planet – in June!
Here’s to all of our diverse, stuck-between-two-world lives, and amazing adventures!
