Q&A with Michael Leon

Q: Any weird things you do when you’re alone?
A: I’m not sure if you’d call this weird, but I spend time every day learning the French language. I decided to drop my daily habit of reading the morning newspaper over a coffee and replace it with reading French! Surprisingly, I am enjoying the process, thanks mainly to a nifty app called Duolingo. It uses gamer technology to make learning a language addictive and almost enjoyable! 

Q: What is your favourite quote and why?
A: I noted Albert Einstein’s quote on my Goodreads site. “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.” I always laugh at the irony of his words. His words illustrate the  extreme variation in human capabilities. Einstein is arguably the greatest genius of all time, capable of explaining the cosmos. Yet he is powerless to influence the darker side of human nature. I actually met him in Lucerne! Don't believe me? Contact me and I'll show you where we met!

Q:  Who is your favourite author and why?
A: I like so many authors. It's hard to choose. One of my favourite Australian authors is Tim Winton. I wish I could with his unlimited style. His novels feel like poetry and they portray the Australian landscape like no other. In terms of science fiction/fantasy - equally hard to choose. But I admire JK Rawling's Harry Potter series. Her world building skills are imaginary and vivid.

Q: What, in your opinion, are the most important elements of good writing?
A: First and foremost, write a story that is important to you. Writing a book to publisher stage is a long and exhaustive process, sometimes taking years! So make sure you believe in the project. Then you will be more likely to succeed.

Q:  Where did you get the idea for this book?
A: The ideas formed in my earlier years.  So for that reason, I found Cubeball the most fun to write. As a typical young boy growing up in outer Melbourne, I loved nothing more than to kick a football outside with my friends and pretend to emulate my football hero's feats. In the evenings I would enjoy competing with my brothers at a game of snooker on our family billiard table. Writing Cubeball allowed me to re-live some of those boyhood dreams. It also made me realise that whilst I had some natural talent at sport, I had a more fertile imagination! I feel fortunate that now I can spend a great deal of my time imagining stories to tell. I particularly enjoy imagining the future. It has been a fascination that has endured throughout my life.

BLURB:

A naturally gifted ex-national champion and a savant with a computer-like mind compete against the world's best in the 22nd century's most popular sport - CUBEBALL - the chess-like, technology-enhanced, snooker of the future where the world stage is dominated by gambling, drugs and massive audiences.

EXCERPT:

Unlike the real Mars settlement, Mons City was surrounded by a vertical city. Skyscrapers impossible to build on Earth or Mars dwarfed the largest mountain in the solar system. Mons City consisted of two cities, the Left Bank and Right Bank. Each city was built at the base of Olympus Mons, forming the largest boulevard ever digitally designed. Two parallel lines of skyscrapers extended thirty kilometres out from the Martian mountain and five kilometres apart. There was only one way in to Mons City and that was through the boulevard. Hover lines crisscrossed between the two cities making a Tokyo train station look like a country town. Twenty two million gamers (most online from their home) competed in this game. Around fifty thousand actually entered the game from Velvet Underground. Most of them were there to hide from the real world or rest and recover from the demands of the game. About another thousand were like Mickey, looking for someone. It was a melting pot of technology, human energy, drugs and dreams. So much had been won, lost or wasted in this boulevard of broken dreams. Mickey slowed as he entered Mons City.

EXCERPT:

Much to Thomas’s disappointment there were few if any goodies for the taking in the abandoned military base. 

“Cheap buggers,” Thomas said feelingly from the center of a dilapidated warehouse-like building. Franklin and Mick stood nearby. “Whatever wasn’t bolted down they took with them.”

“Check the kitchen,” Mick said. “Maybe they left the sink.”

Turok walked through a twisted aperture. “Nope. The sinks are gone,” he said with a laugh.  

The submarine entrance had led them into the lowest underground level of the largest building. They had climbed four flights of partly-collapsed stairs to ground level. 

“This whole facility,” Mick said, “was abandoned by the Kalaal long before they moved to Watyra, and cities like it.”

“And it’s open to the elements,” Turok said, pulling away plexi fragments from the borders of an empty window. “No reason for it to be in good shape.”

“What about systems?” Franklin asked.

“Long gone,” Thomas said. 

“Not in this building,” Turok added. “Maybe somewhere else.” 

“There’s a more sheltered building behind this one,” Mick said. “Its walls have partly caved out, not in. There might be an energy shield there.”

“Show me,” Franklin said.

They trooped out and walked up the gently sloping hillside. The structure’s one wall was semi-circular, each end disappearing into the exposed rock of the hillside. Its roof appeared to be an extension of a downward-sloping section of the rockface above. 

“Strange building in a strange place,” Turok said.

“Looks like the hill just up and ate it one fine day,” Thomas said. 

Mick walked to one exposed section of the wall. It appeared as though a white stucco surface lay behind. Mick picked up a handful of gravel and tossed it in. The holofield surface rippled and roiled, and after a moment returned to its illusion. 

“Bingo!” Turok said. 

“How do we get in?” Franklin asked. 

“You’re all business today, professor,” Turok said, smiling.

Franklin nodded.

“It must have a wavelength signature lock,” Mick said.

“So a series of specific frequency tones would unlock it?” Turok said.

Mick nodded.

Franklin smiled. “You just described what used to be called a whistle.” 

Thomas stood up, holding something in his hand. “Like this?”

He was holding a child’s small toy. 

“Quit the clowning, Thomas,” Turok said.

Thomas lifted the whistle to his mouth and blew a single high-pitched blazon.

“Wait!–” Franklin began to say.

The front door exploded outward, and went cart-wheeling down the hillside, passing within a couple feet of Turok. Thomas was standing stock-still, looking at the whistle with new respect. Turok strode over, grabbed the whistle,  and pocketed it.

Franklin had stepped close to the wall. “The shield is gone,” he called back. 

They joined him and peered in. Inside was a pristine room, console desks and holofield timbrels all looked as though the building had been closed for the weekend. 

Thomas whistled under his breath. Turok looked at him and frowned.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

Stephen J Carter is a Canadian writer living in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He completed a PhD in Social and Political Thought at York University in Toronto in 1997. This led to an 8-year period of teaching at universities in South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. In 2006 he settled in northern Thailand, and began writing fiction full-time in 2007.

In his early years he made several short-term forays into film and video production while involved full-time in academia. Along the way he tried his hand at writing non-fiction in and out of academia, and 8 years ago finally committed full-time to writing fiction. 

For Stephen there is something about this northern Thai city that makes it a perfect place to write. His preferred genres to date have been horror and science fiction. On the one hand, he sets his horror novels in Thailand because Thais have such vivid customs that touch the supernatural. On the other hand, disheartened by the cultural Marxism that dominates social discourse now in the West, he feels drawn to writing science fiction for the rational optimism over possible futures it affords. Approaching SF formerly as pure escapism, he finds in it now a source of hope and forward thinking that can be very inspiring. 

Stephen looks forward to writing several more novels in his two current series, Zero Point Light and Z Inferno.

#GiveAway #Interview - Obsidian Worlds by Jason Werbeloff

Obsidian Worlds

by Jason Werbeloff

Jason will be awarding a $15 Amazon or B/N GC to a randomly drawn winner  during the tour. Please use the RaffleCopter below to enter. Remember you may increase your chances of winning by visiting the other tour stops. You may find those locations here. 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Interview:

Crystal: Today I have the pleasure of hosting Jason Werbeloff. Welcome Jason! I'm so happy to have you here with us today. Would you share a little bit about yourself with us today?

Jason: Human, male, 31. From an obscure planet in the Milky Way Galaxy. Likes chocolates, Labradors, and zombies (not necessarily in that order). I’m a philosopher by training, a programmer in a previous life, and a sci-fi novelist by profession. I’ve written two novels, ‘Hedon’ and ‘The Solace Pill’, and the short story anthology, ‘Obsidian Worlds’.


Crystal: Do you have a favorite scene you would like to share with us?

Jason: This is a scene from ‘The Cryo Killer’, one of the stories in my sci-fi short story anthology, ‘Obsidian Worlds’. I like the scene because of the layers of hidden agendas involved. All the characters, including the reader, are trying anxiously to pin each other down, to find out just what is going on:

“Inesa and Paul, good to meet you. Who referred you?”
“Mr. Camfrey’s wife.”
Paul’s hands are working. Picking at each other. At the cuticles.
“Ah yes, I was sorry to hear about his passing.”
“I think,” she lowers her voice, “that it was professionally done. Heart attack, I hear.”
I lean forward. “You’d like a similar package, ma’am?”
Paul speaks up for the first time. “Is it quick?”
If I had a penny for every time a client asked me that question. “Painless,” I say, “or your money back.”
Paul harrumphs.
“Excellent,” says Inesa, beaming. “You’ve been doing this a while?”
“Best in the business,” says Janet, striding over to us. She places a hand on my shoulder. “You’re safe with Barker.”
“So, you’re wanting the double package?”
Inesa squeezes her husband’s arm. Every carat on her ring finger catches the sunlight. His nod is miniscule.
“Yes,” she replies after a moment.
“Those are difficult.” I lean back in my chair, weighing the ring out of the corner of my eye. “Coroner looks closely at doubles. Need a plausible cause of death. Right now all I have in stock are gas leaks and home invasions. Invasions can get messy – brings down the property value. I suggest the gas leak. Although …” I glance at Paul. “Home invasions are on the rise.”
Paul scratches the skin over his knuckles. His lips have taken on a bluish tinge. I’ve seen all manner of manners displayed in the chairs on the other side of my desk. Clients respond to their impending deaths in all sorts of ways. Paul’s reaction isn’t unique.
“Gas leak,” says Inesa definitively.
Paul nods, a quick jerk up and down. “When’ll it happen?” He can’t meet my gaze.
“I could probably fit you in next week. Any preferences?”
“I’m writing an exam on Tuesday,” says Inesa. She looks to Paul, “And I’m sure you’d like to finalize that merger?”
He groans.
“Late next week?” she asks.
“Let’s see … Janet, check my availability, please.”
“Could do Friday next.”
“Excellent,” says Inesa.
“But …” Paul is fading to a paler blue by the minute. Droplets dot his forehead. “I just can’t live with the thought of this hanging over me for the next ten days. I just …” He swallows. “I just can’t.”
I reach out a hand and touch the man’s shoulder. His golf shirt is saturated. “Not to worry, sir. A memory wipe is included. You’ll never know you were here.” I offer him my warmest smile. Janet calls it the Big Daddy. “In fact, you may’ve been here before, and you wouldn’t know.”
Paul eyeballs me. “Have we been here before?”
“I couldn’t tell you.” I wink.



Crystal: Where did you come up with the idea for Obsidian Worlds?

Jason: I used the word "obsidian" in both of my first two novels, ‘The Solace Pill’ and ‘Hedon’, and it became a sort of in-joke among the people in my writing group that I always use the word "obsidian" in my stories. So I started using the word consciously, and when I was considering a title for the anthology, "obsidian" came to mind – this was after I wrote the first three or four stories. The adjective has all the connotations I was looking for – a deep, glassy blackness, sharp, cutting, and mysterious.

Obsidian blades have been used for centuries in swords and by surgeons. An obsidian blade is so sharp, it separates cells rather than tears them as a conventional blade would. The stories in the book are meant to do the same: slice between your concepts and ideas, bifurcating them into dark configurations you couldn’t have imagined beforehand.


Crystal: What are you currently working on?

Jason: I’m currently half-way through writing a gory sci-fi thriller. Think body parts everywhere, in an advanced society. Think callousness, cruelty, connection and unrestricted body horror, and you’ve got a good idea of the novel. I’m releasing it mid-2016.

Between now and then, I’m planning to release a few short stories, set in the same or a similar universe to the novel.


Crystal: Do you have any special routine that you follow when you are writing? 

Jason: I don’t have any fixed routines when writing, but I do have some preferences. I love writing in bubbly coffee shops. So much so, that I use an app called ‘Coffitivity’ to reproduce the sounds of a coffee shop in my office when I don’t find time to get out of the house. I love the ambience. And the characters – glance around yourself at a coffee shop and you’re bound to find someone who’ll fit a role in your book.

Coffee shops, and late at night. Writing after midnight is my thing. It’s quiet. No distractions. While the world sleeps, the writer writes the world. So, I guess the holy grail would be a busy 24-hour coffee shop…



Crystal: Did you have to do a lot of research for this book or any other? If so do you have a fascinating fact that you have learned you would like to share with us?

Jason: One of the advantages of writing science fiction is that the world one creates can diverge from our current world in any way you like. So in that sense, research isn’t required. But in another sense, research is crucial, because the way in which the story world diverges from our own must be plausible. It must be the kind of world that is at least possible. The reader must be convinced that one day, the world could turn out as it is in the story. If it’s unconvincing, it’s not science fiction – it’s fantasy (and I’m not a huge fan of fantasy).

My first novel, ‘The Solace Pill’, is about 3d printers capable of scanning and printing whole, functioning human beings. This isn’t possible right now, but all the ingredients are here today – the ability to print with organic material, the ability to scan people with fMRIs, etc. The first 3d printed organs are already available! To write the book I did a lot of research into current 3d printing technology. Challenging and interesting.

Crystal: Who are some of your favorite authors that you like to read?

Kurt Vonnegut has been on my mind recently. It’s his whit – clever, humbling, but kind too. He never ridicules a character, even if he shows up every one of their flaws.

I love Philip K. Dick. ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep’ was the first science fiction novel I ever read. Every one of his stories, even if it’s not beautifully written, contains a blindingly original world. If you’re looking for thought experiments that’ll blow your mind, dip into a Philip K. Dick novel.

And then I’d have to include Margaret Atwood. ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ is gorgeously horrific. It changed the way I wrote my second novel, ‘Hedon’, and pushed me to include feminist themes in my writing. ‘Dinner with Flexi’, in my anthology, ‘Obsidian Worlds’, is intended to be an even more extreme version of Atwood’s book. The story is written around a world where women are farmed, and eaten. I’d love to know what Atwood thinks.


Crystal: Is there a genre you haven't written that you would like to try?

Jason: I’m not too sure. At the moment, I can’t see myself writing anything that isn’t science fiction. It provides a flavor to stories that one just can’t reproduce any other way. No matter how good the thriller, or the romance, or the horror, setting it in space or in a future dystopia is just that much more interesting.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~
BLURB:

Jason Werbeloff’s short stories have been downloaded over 20,000 times. Obsidian Worlds brings together his 11 best-selling sci-fi shorts into a mind-bending philosophical anthology.

In Your Averaged Joe, a man’s headache is large enough to hold the multiverse. Q46F is an obsessive-compulsive android who finds love in a zombie-embroiled apocalypse. The end of the world isn’t all that bad – The Experience Machine will fulfil your every desire (and some you hadn’t considered). A sex bot dares to dream of freedom in Dinner with Flexi. But mind what you eat, because The Photons in the Cheese Are Lost. Don’t fret though: The Cryo Killer guarantees that your death will be painless, or your money back when you’re thawed. Unless, that is, you’re The Man with Two Legs.

Plug into Obsidian Worlds for these and other immersive stories, including the hilarious Time-Traveling Chicken Sexer. Your brain will never be the same again.

BLURB:

He thought Alaina loved him, but now she’s found someone else. A tidal wave of loss and grief swept over Henry Gallant, leaving him undecided about what to do next, or how to move forward.

Despite his sorrow, he goes on a dangerous mission to an invading aliens’ home world in the Gliese-581 star system. There he uses a neural interface to penetrate their communication network and steal a high ranking alien’s identity. Through this artifice he learns about their history and society, and discovers a way to hinder and possibly defeat them.

A side-effect of linking into the alien network—which was created for autistic savants—is that Gallant’s mind was stimulated and enhanced to the point where he begins to experience superintelligence abilities.

Upon returning from his mission, there is concern that Gallant might pose an even more serious threat than the aliens. While he struggles to fend off those who doubt his loyalty, he fights to win back Alaina.

This is the fourth book of The Henry Gallant Saga, but it can be read as a standalone story.
