Slaves to Gravity is a fantastic read. I really enjoyed it - full of unexpected twists and turns
Hey, everyone! Thanks for having us! If anyone has any questions about the book or about Somer and myself, please don't hesitate to ask.
Mod
So I'm curious, has anyone here already read SLAVES TO GRAVITY?
Mod
Not yet, but I do plan on joining in this group read!

So... who likes to curl up in front of a blazing wood fire, while, outside, the wind howls, the seagulls cry and the waves crash mercilessly on the rocks below?
Mod
Hello and welcome, Somer and Wesley! We're so happy to have you!

I have just posted that in the wrong place! Sorry, Wes and Somer!
I am halfway through and really enjoying the book. Its starting to take a dark turn...What inspired you to take on the theme of traumatic accidents inducing the ability to fly?
How did you decide to collaborate on this book as a team?
Mod
I’m hoping to try. I might be late to the party as usual. I have a lot of physical books stacked around I need to work on as we are getting blinds put up and there is stuff all over 🙄
Mod
It’s going to be late for me. Sigh. I’m hoping you all like it 😊

I used to have flying dreams when I was a teenager.
I was going to ask the same questions Andrew asked above.
Hey, everyone! Sorry I haven't been on lately. Went on vacation over the last weekend and I'm still getting caught up on things. Hope everyone's having a great week!

To be completely honest, I can't remember. The idea for this story was something that had been tumbling around in my head for many years before the first word was typed. When I knew this book would be about people gaining the ability to fly, why give something so extraordinary to someone able-bodied? Someone like Charlie who's had the use of her legs taken from her could appreciate a gift like that so much more.
As far as the collaboration goes, I hadn't worked on a story with anyone in nearly a decade, the last being a novelette I co-wrote with a friend called "Home Invasion" which is in my short story collection RESISTING MADNESS. I've been wanting to so something like that again for a long time, and since Somer and I have been close friends for a while and I was a big fan of her work, it was a no-brainer.

I've never had flying dreams, but I still have occasional ones of running away from someone and my feet not moving, like I'm running through oil. Scary stuff!
