When esteemed scientist James Blackwell finds himself behind bars at StormRidge Correctional Facility, his singular goal is escaping, not back into society through the prison gates, but into another world through a wormhole.

With help from other inmates on the inside, and powerful political allies on the outside, James locates the wormhole beneath the prison campus. When four other inmates discover the horrible injustices inside the American prison system, they join James in the escape.

Once on the other side, James and his friends find themselves one hundred years in the future. Amid a dystopian world with dangers lurking around every corner, this new world reveals the treacherous impact of environmental destruction and political greed.

After briefly experiencing freedom and discovering the world is not what it used to be, James and his friends are captured and imprisoned once again. Four of them escape, leaving one behind, along with James’ most prized possession: the notebook containing his scientific research.

Traveling back to the past they know requires finding the coordinates of the wormhole. But with James’ notebook out of hand, the future of his friends, and society itself, hang in the balance.

 



INTERVIEW

Is There a Message in Your Novel That You Want Readers to Grasp?

 

The most important message in my novel is for readers to become more vigilant of current societal problems including social justice issues as well as destructive environmental and political happenings which could be detrimental to our future as a society.

 

 

Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?

 

I find it challenging to finish a project through to its completion. I have started working on several other stories, but it is easy for life to get in the way. I have realized it takes extra determination and commitment for me to really get the work done. 

 

How many books have you written and which is your favorite?

 

 I currently have only published one book, but I have started working on a sequel, as well as a few others. I would say my favorite might be the sequel because I thoroughly enjoyed the research I did as the story is set in the 1920’s.

 

 

If You had the chance to cast your main character from Hollywood today, who would you pick and why?

 

I think I would cast someone similar to Keanu Reeves because he has a similar look to what I imagined and is a very talented actor who has worked on science fiction films.  

 

When did you begin writing?

I remember trying to write a novel as young as 9 years old, but I didn’t start truly honing my craft until I was in college.

 

 

How long did it take to complete your first book?

 

I wrote my first book on and off for about two years, but I did not publish it until a few years later. It was a much longer process than I expected.

 

Did you have an author who inspired you to become a writer?

 

Very many authors have inspired me to become a writer but the first two that come to mind are James Patterson and Stephen King.

 

What is your favorite part of the writing process?

 

My favorite part of the writing process is the initial stages where I take scenes I have imagined in my head and see them come alive as I write them on the page. 

 

Describe your latest book in 4 words.

 

Dystopia. Thrilling. Time Travel. 

 

Can you share a little bit about your current work or what is in the future for your writing?

 

I am currently working on a sequel to my first novel, Escape Velocity. It will be a story following a woman who time travels 100 years into the past. She will struggle to follow her mission while she is thrown in the midst of chaos in New York City during the roaring 20’s.
