A botched government coverup times perfectly with the initial rumblings of the next economic crash. These two forces intermingle, playing off of each other in worried citizens’ minds. Each makes the other seem worse while also linking to wider societal problems. When responsible parties panic and go silent, the only thing a stressed-out public can do is take speculation to new dimensions.
Some find their voices, connecting the buzz to larger truths in the chaos and trading rumors about Revolutionizer Alpha and the Revolutionizers. Others learn that people share their hopes and fears, that they are not alone. And a small group of humans discovers that our planet is known. More accurately, they start to learn how deeply the universe values Earth. If we human beings choose to destroy our home, many will be sad to see it die.
I live in Denver, Colorado. "Fearkiller (Volume 1)" is my first book. Since the story is about the workforce of 2000 through 2010, a prospective reader should know my own path in that world. I began the decade an okay-happy worker bee, then the threat of layoffs hit my company late '01. Layoff/post-layoff life was nutty, working way too much and way too thankful to be working way too much. I started to freelance during this time and this got me fired from Corp. America mid-decade, but I had a taste of freedom so it was cool. (Of course, I had no idea The Great Recession was coming in 2008.) Freelance life gave me a nice taste of freedom and then the recession hit. I worked part-time jobs during 2008, 2009 and 2010 to make ends meet while continuing to land freelance gigs. This is when the whole concept of living in fear to keep your job started to materialize. As a dedicated independent contractor, it was interesting to observe the workforce during this time. I turned these observations into a book. Follow my blog: www.chrismaley.com
