Originally from South Minneapolis, Gene Fournier earned a BA in Philosophy & Literature from St. Louis University, followed by a Master's in Film from USC. A member of the Writers Guild of America West (WGA), Gene worked as a screenwriter and editor in Tinseltown, but sadly, he never got that big Hollywood break.

I have regular hours each day when I write or research or whatever a certain project requires, and I simply do the job. It doesn't matter if I feel inspired or not, I write. Some days go better than others but over a year's time, if you stick to the schedule, you pile up manuscript pages. After two years you have a book.

You can create any world you want and populate it with whomever you wish.

Of course, it won't be long (if you do a good job with the writing) before your characters start to tell you what they're willing to say and do but I'll leave that revelation for another day. Being in charge is an illusion, but it's a fine one.(less)

Author Interview, My Reading Addiction Blog, 01/23/2019

Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?

When I first developed the concept for STILL BREATHING I intended to demonstrate that you’re never too old to do something significant. In other words, if you’re still breathing, there’s still good for you to do. Lizzie, my main character, is sixty-nine years old when the story opens and a recent widow. Everyone expects her to sit bac Read more of this blog post »

not perfect but darn good

It’s nice to read an apocalyptic novel with an older main character and filled with real stakes and real human values. There’s a fair amount of repetitive phrasing such as “sat with companionable silence,” or “breath he didn
