Titan In Stores 09/15/2020

Hey all! The folks over at Screen Rant had the scoop yesterday, TITAN has an official release date of September 15, 2020! I had a short statement that was briefly quoted in the piece, here are my remarks in full for those who are interested (the quote was made a little bit less “political” in the piece, which is 100% fine, but I feel like I can share here):

I couldn’t be more excited to finally get this collection into the hands of readers in the US… I worked on TITAN for over five years, most of that while I was still living in the States, and it feels great to be “coming home” as it were. I was born and raised in the USA, and spent almost my whole life there, so it’s no surprise that TITAN is inspired by historical and social currents of my homeland… You don’t have to squint very hard to see a resemblance.

For a book that I started writing more than eight years ago, it’s shocking (and more than a little disturbing) to me how “torn from the headlines” so much of the book feels… It seems like TITAN has grown in relevance, if anything. Science fiction typically does a terrible job of accurately predicting the future, but it has always been a great way to explore contemporary anxieties (just ask H.G. Wells). In 2020, we’ve got plenty to be anxious about, in my opinion. Titan is my attempt to write a fun, exciting sci-fi story, but at the same time maybe it can be some food for thought as we head into the election, and beyond. 

I’m particularly stoked that this edition is coming out in time for the 2020 election… I’m not sure if I have any answers to give for the problems we are facing, but TITAN is certainly a “political” book, so it feels good to be participating in the discussion.

By the way, TITAN is now up on Amazon and Goodreads, so you can feel free to pre-order or wishlist the book. You can even rate the book and/or write an advance review if you’ve already read the book in an earlier format and would like to help spread the word about it! As you can imagine all those things make a difference in getting new readers on board.
