Sci-fi fantasy

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 with Vera Jane Cook
What were your goals and intentions in this book, and how well do you feel you achieved them?
It was my goal to tell a well written story about the consequences of our actions in the here and now. I worry about the future of education, and I worry about the environment, of losing species and pretty much losing our souls, I worry about humanitarianism taking a back seat to our greed. Where will we be in 2045? I tried to be part pessimist and part optimist.
What was the hardest part of writing this book?
Ending the book. It could have been a disaster but there was sacrifice. There will be a sequel to this book that might change the ending. The sequel will be called Pindar Corners.
What did you enjoy most about writing this book?
I really loved my characters, not just Harry and Adina but also Adina’s parents and Harry’s parents.
Where there alternate endings you considered?
Absolutely but I thought they were too dark.
Can you share some stories about people you met while researching this book?
I didn’t research the book because I am familiar with the areas in which the book took place. I am also familiar with the 70s and 90s. If I could have researched someone from 2045 oh I would have loved that.
What genre of books do you enjoy reading?
Mystery, Crime, women’s fiction
