I'm one step closer to seeing a physical copy of The Many Lives of Inez Wick. Yesterday, I ordered a proof copy, so I can inspect the book design, layout of the stories, page numbers, and edit the text one last time.
Here is the text from the back of the book:
Advance Praise:
"As our world continues its slow crumble, Wilson soldiers on, writing with a clear eye and strong voice. The Many Lives of Inez Wick entertains and, more importantly, gives cause for reflection."
- David Oppegaard, author of "The Suicide Collectors" & "Wormwood, Nevada"
"Wilson, with his easy to read prose, writes the kinds of dark short stories that get you caught up in the characters lives, and investing in outcomes. His stories are about now, about current topics crowding the headlines, and he's not afraid to investigate the issues of the day, darkness and all!"
- Alexandra Wolfe, editor, writer, creator of The Hive Mind
The red LCD display quickly counts down. There is no time to waste. The polluting, resource-degrading plant is set to explode. Eco-heroine Inez Wick has only minutes to escape.
As she traverses the dark recesses of the dirty plant, she flashes back to a younger self, sixteen. Her father had just died in an oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, and she had just broken up with her boyfriend. She remembers oily ocean water and flames, her footprints in the sand filling with black water. Flames were chasing her. They were jumping from one oily footprint to the next, up the beach after her. Snapping back to the present, she must get out of the plant. The exploits of Inez Wick could not end, just now. Too many others needed to pay.
I can't wait to hold a copy in my hands. I still see the on-sale date as mid February. Until then, make sure that you have "liked" the Facebook page. I plan on giving a away a few copies.
