At times it's a funny story about two friends who've made the scientific discovery of the ages. At others, it's an intriguing look at a woman tired of living in her mother's shadow, searching for a way to forge her own path. On top of all that there is political intrigue, galactic war, and aliens. Lots of aliens. It's a broad world with a lot of potential!Q: What drew you to writing this type of story?A: I've always loved the idea of an ever-expanding multiverse growing in relation to the decisions we make (or do not make). Within this framework there exist infinite potentialities, which is intriguing, but what really captivated me about Parallel were the characters. Each of them is an engaging individual coping with the consequences of their unique actions and decisions.Q: What does it mean to you when readers pick up your books?A: It's incredibly humbling. For so long I've slaved away at the keyboard in obscurity. To have my words out in the world, being ready by fans across the globe, is a bit surreal. I don't know if I'l ever be a best seller like Hugh Howey, but so far I've met a slew of wonderful people (both readers and fellow authors alike) which has made the whole publishing adventure unforgettable. Thanks to everybody who's taken the time to pick up one of my stories. I can't tell you how much it means to me.
