Goodreads asked James Bow:

What are you currently working on?

James Bow My current project (as of July 2016) is a YA science fiction novel set on the planet Mercury entitled "The Sun Runners". It follows two plot threads seventy years apart. In the first one, young Lieutenant Adelheid Koning of the Messenger (one of the towns of Mercury) has to deal with the repercussions when the Earth suffers an environmental and economic collapse, shutting down the supply shuttles to the colony and leaving the colonists to starve. Seventy years later, Crown Princess Frieda Koning has to deal with the repercussions of an accident that costs her her arms, and kills her mother, the Queen. As she is not yet of age, her grandmother, Adelheid Koning, is named regent. As tensions rise between the two, the Earth shocks everybody by speaking to Mercury for the first time in seventy years to announce that they're sending a ship. What does Earth want with its former colony?
