Dmitriy Zen's Blog: I'm a Russian guy who writes in English!

How is Cosmo Crown unique?
The story is based in an alternate future (2138 AD onwards, mostly). A science fiction adventure in a dystopian world with the elements of romance and humor. There are also some characters like the evil cavern dwellers, clones, and the fortune teller. It's also a love story, where the characters lose and find each other. There's lots of action and intrigue, and it's hard to guess what comes next. There are large manipulative corporations, conspiracy theories, and more.
In my debut novel, Cosmo Crown, there is much intrigue and the reader can never guess what comes next. While writing, even I, the author, never knew exactly what was coming next in the plot. Of course, I had an outline—but that's different. I always try to corner my characters into a situation out of which there seems to be no escape—and then I always find a way out, rather unexpectedly, for both myself and the future reader. This is one thing that keeps the readers engaged.
In Cosmo Crown, I often jump back and forth in time and describe scenes from various perspectives; the plot is not linear. There are a few sub-plots, with some of them being more "high-level" than others, like figuring out the purpose of existence of certain characters and jumping way back in time to establish some backstory.
Toward the end, I jump into the fourth millennium and satisfy the reader's curiosity as to what may have happened to certain characters.
The main characters go through trials and tribulations, growing emotionally and spiritually all throughout.
The book has been in the making since late 2019. I've worked with three different professional editors from Reedsy. My cover is initially AI-generated and was further edited by a Photoshop professional. My beta readers have enjoyed the book very much.
I've always seen it as another "success story," but we'll see about that! I expect nothing, but I always do my best because it's my passion.
The plot contains 30 chapters, one prologue and two epilogues, with more than 87000 words. Toward the end, there is also a (bonus) version of the prologue written in poetic form (with rhymes); it's included in both digital and print versions.
