Letter from a fan!
It is always a joy to receive a letter from an enthusiastic reader. This email dropped into my email box yesterday:
Dear Mr Rees (Author note *If you are a reader who wishes to write to me, please just call me Tim.*)
Your Original Earth series has captivated us with its rare blend of environmental consciousness, emotional depth, and imaginative storytelling. From Book One to Book Three, we followed Anu’s, Sonri’s, and Toama’s journey as the young human girl grew into an amazing young lady and in Book Three she and her friends travel to other worlds. We read in an interview how excited you are to see where Anu takes you as an author and now we find ourselves excited by the prospect of your fictional universe expanding as Anu encounters alien cultures who, we’re sure, will offer lessons to us all. The philosophical scope of what it means to build a better society, one grounded in empathy, exploration, and coexistence, is incredible and so totally relevant to humanity today. The way your unique imagination is able to encapsulate the potential reality of these alien worlds is truly breath-taking.
Book Three is an especially thought-provoking narrative of the community’s struggle to define its moral center. In Book three, you weave a story that mirrors our own world’s (Original Earth’s) dilemmas - climate, compassion, and connection to the natural world while offering the wonder and freedom that only science fiction can provide. My partner and I argued about whether the velan people were drawn from the modern-day Taliban or more historical religious extremist cultures?
And we have to mention your extensive literary range, spanning two war memoirs, thrillers, literary fiction, and visionary sci-fi. My partner has read both Raw Nerve and Delphian - indeed, that is how we discovered you as a writer! He insisted on reading passages to me in bed at night! - It was due to my partner’s exuberance that I decided I decided to read Original Earth Book One. It seems you are a writer unafraid to tackle difficult subject matter through any and every genre and don’t fail at arriving at a truth that makes me think deeper about the points you make. For me personally, Original Earth is more than a story, it’s a call to consciousness.
We understand you are currently writing Book Four of Original Earth and we both look forward to it immensely. In the meantime, I will read The Drama Merchant and A Seed Once Sown.
Thank you from us both.
What a wonderful letter to receive! If you do decide to read Original Earth, I would suggest you begin at Book One:
