Lovelock Ones Genesis
[image error] Hi all! With my Lovelock Ones special promotion this week/weekend, I thought I'd take some time to give you more information about how the story came about. Lovelock Ones was born out of an opportunity to write in an anthology produced by the author group, SASS (Supporting Authors to Stay Sane) Promotions. More than just highlighting each other’s work, our goal was to give back to the world in some way. The organizers did some research on worldwide organizations and chose Doctors Without Borders as a charity to support. From this, the theme of healing grew. Our stories were each to be centered around healing in some way.
My background in microbiology helped with forming a plot idea. It became a story about a girl and her family, torn apart by an eminent flu epidemic, the last of which decimated the earth’s population. Jema, her mother, and her sister, Nave, traveled to a remote desert community where they learn Nave has already contracted the virus. Jema and her friend Troy tried to devise a plan to save Nave.
Lovelock is a town in central Nevada, named for a nearby cave, Lovelock Cave. Findings by Ron Morehead (http://ronmorehead.com/lovelock-cave/), author and renowned researcher, told of a legend of a group of red-headed giants called Si-Te-Cah. The Si-Te-Cah and Paiutes were at war, and after a long struggle, the Piautes, aided by other tribes, trapped the Si-Te-Cah in the Lovelock Cave. They stacked brush at the entrance to the cave, and set it ablaze, killing the Si-Te-Cah. In 1924, Miners unearthed human remains, being large with red hair the evidence corroborated the Paiute stories.
The story is a little grim, but Lovelock Cave became the perfect setting for my community of rogue military soldiers searching for a cure for the epidemic. The novella I published in The Butterfly Box anthology benefiting Doctors Without Borders is Native One which, along with an additional novella, Bred One, formed the full-length novel, Lovelock Ones. Lovelock Ones has a bit of something for everyone from action, adventure, mystery, intrigue, to a bit of romance intertwined. Find out more about Lovelock Ones take advantage of my weekend sale here!
