The description says it all. Dystopias, Pandemics, Apocalypses, and What Happens After are all things that interest me. By the time I was three years old, I was already obsessed with diseases. This interest blossomed and spread from epidemiology to speculative fiction. Like many, my first dystopia was The Giver by Lois Lowry. Then Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale stole my heart and mind.
I've always been a fairly practical person and the more I know, the more I understand that unexpected events have happened and will happen in our future. It is always good to be prepared. And if you aren't the kind of person who wants to have a year's worth of food prepped and ready, it is still incredibly entertaining to wonder about the future. What would you do if your government collapsed? What would you do if everyone around you died in a pandemic? How would you feel? How would you react? Would you survive?
These are the questions that intrigue me and drive me to write. I am currently working on a Young Adult Dystopian novel. This blog will help others who share my fascination connect and trade ideas. Let me know if you have any specific questions that you would like me to look into. Look forward to my first post on the super volcano located in Yellowstone National Park!
