edit data

Ivis Bo Davis is the author of the XTERRA Series, speculative fiction novels set a hundred years in the future. Intrigued at mankind’s lust for control, he marvels at their endless conspiracies and ruthless attempts to gain power.
.
His stint in the U.S. Navy as an aviation electrician and his later years as a Field Service Engineer brought him into contact with advancing technologies, whetting his interest in the sciences.

How do you deal with writer’s block?

If I get stuck I ask that question over and over.

I dream, I imagine, I ask questions and search for the answers. These imaginations are not always storyline related, they are related to the larger universe as yet unexplored. I create new technologies and I make them as complete and as scientifically accurate as possible. I find that my imagined concepts, questions, and understanding of human nature force me to change the storyline. Sometimes the accidental discovery of a new technology changes a story or explains why something happened. I am often amazed that the character and nature of the people who live in my stories begin to make choices that change the direction of THEIR storyline. After all, they are the ones living in my imagined universe. Shouldn't they have the right to rule it? (less)

WHERE DID THE IDEA FOR MY XTERRA NOVELS COME FROM?

This got me thinking, and over a period of years I gathered scientific data on EM field strength, variations in North and Sough pole magnetic strength and location. I also began to recognize a pattern in the appearance of multiple North and south poles all over the Earth.

That led to personal research on interrupted whale migratory patterns, whale beaching, thinning in the protective atmospheric oz
