“We are a lifetime of a million heartbeats,

a symphony of emotions,

and the churning of the realms of spirit.”

-from Steam Drills, Treadmills, and Shooting Stars

a novel by Rivera Sun

Snow powders the pines in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Last night’s snowstorm sealed the end of autumn and marked the start of a new season. For weeks, I have been immersed the intricacies of a novel I am writing, Steam Drills, Treadmills, and Shooting Stars.

If you enjoyed the Lala Plays, you should start quivering in excitement now. Lala came from my singular artistic dedication to tell the story that must be told. This book springs from that same meditation. The novel’s three hundred pages are rich with poetic prose, striking images, unforgettable characters, and thought-provoking philosophy.

Every day, I rise and work for hours, honing the precision of the language and message of the story. The story grows, and so does the urgency for it to be told. Steam Drills follows a group of contemporary Americans making great strides to address climate change. Due to the timeliness of the issue, I have put aside my plans to tour with the Lala Plays this winter and am focusing on getting the book into your hands!

A big thank you goes out to the twenty people who read the first draft of the book and kindly offered their invaluable feedback. None of these readers are ‘ordinary’ people (ordinariness being an illusion) but between them all, they cover a diverse range of perspectives and opinions. Each lent their observations to the growth of the novel. Thank you!

Stay tuned and stay warm as the winter engulfs us!
