I've still got some final editing to do on my upcoming novel, HUMAN, but it should be published this winter. I now have the blurb written for it though!

A remarkable exploration of family, society, and what makes us human, HUMAN will take you from the post-apocalyptic world of the near future, to the two very different societies that emerge 15 million years later, where those few surviving individuals have evolved to become something that we might not fully recognize as human.

When Ayla’s research takes her to a remote river in Canada’s far north, Chris brings their daughter to an isolated island in the southern Pacific. Though at opposite ends of the earth, they both awaken one morning to black skies, and a night that doesn’t end. Slowly, Ayla and Chris begin to realize that humanity has been inexplicably wiped out, and only their isolation has saved them. Besides the handful of people around them, they are now alone in the world. As they struggle to build new ways to live, they must also struggle with how to let go of their past.

Millions of years later, when their descendants finally meet, they have evolved to become two very different kinds of humans, with two very different civilizations. As each tries to build a better world for themselves, navigating love, loss, betrayal and success within their own societies, their biggest challenge may be to recognize the humanity of the other.

The Wheel of Fortune
spins, the world goes mad.
Choices become nonexistent
when hell rains down on you, history's lessons forgotten
humanity stares,
refusing to act.
Is it #fate?
In terror, you can only wail,
waiting to be set free.
Abandoned,
do you have a choice?
Accept what's to be

So according to those of you who responded to my survey, none of you folks do your writing at the pub.

Can I suggest you give it a try? They have beer and food and air conditioning and bar staff who are often very nice. I went to the pub last night and managed to knock over 1000 words and thee pints in a couple of hours.
