POLAR DECEPTION IN THE NEWS? (Sorta)

 

In the six years that I worked on my novel, current events often affected the process. Sometimes, my future world needed to be edited, such as when I had to move my global pandemic from 2030 to 2020. Other times, the news was so relevant to my story, I was motivated to work  even harder to finish and get it published. Friday’s news gave me that same prescient feeling, but at least now my story is out in the world and hopefully provides some food for thought.

Highlights of the news on Friday, October 10:

🧲 China’s Rare Earths on the Line
📉 Sharp Drop in the Dow
🐧 A 7.6 Quake Near Antarctica

Highlights of Polar Deception, set in 2050
🌊 Rare earths gone
🌍 Global economic breakdown
📵 Modern tech obsolete
⚠️ An earthquake threatens lives

Is this the beginning of the future I imagined in Polar Deception? Read and find out!
