Tell us about Nemesis Rising.

The year is 2045 and the criminal justice system has undergone a massive overhaul. The death penalty has been overturned, but in exchange, top-tier criminals serve life sentences in the infamous Zynum Prison.

Sam Anderson is a dedicated middle school history teacher who has just been framed and convicted for the murder of his fiancee. His sentence: a lifetime in Zynum Prison.

Set within a decaying, domed city-prison where survival supersedes morality, the story chronicles Sam's struggle to maintain his humanity amid chaos. As alliances form and tensions rise, he must navigate treacherous clans, violent raids, the potential for love amid the desolation, and the oppressive rule of the self-proclaimed "King of Zynum," a tyrant who embodies the prison's descent into savagery. The two central characters include Sam and Gabrielle, a young woman born in the prison. Together, they forge bonds to confront the harsh realities of their existence. The novel delves into themes of survival, morality, theology, and the resilience of the human spirit in a world that has abandoned redemption.

What inspired you to write Nemesis Rising?

The intersection of my passions for education, psychology, politics and interest in exploring human resilience, inspired me to write Nemesis Rising .

The philosophy of human nature has always been an interest of mine, and I wanted to create a protagonist who embodies the crux of it all. The story grew from my fascination with the moral dilemmas we face when survival challenges our humanity. I envisioned a world where justice is corrupted and characters are stripped to their rawest forms, forced to choose between who they are and what they must become.

Through Sam's journey, I aimed to explore how hope, connection, and identity persist (or don't) in the bleakest circumstances. Ultimately, I wanted to inspire readers to question how far they would go to protect their humanity while surviving unimaginable odds.

How did your background and experience influence your writing?

My background in academia deeply influenced my journey into literary fiction. My experiences teaching on governance and researching social justice have shaped my understanding of human dynamics and the way people can and do treat one another when left to their own devices.

In Nemesis Rising , I sought to merge my intellectual background with my creative instincts, creating a narrative that is both thrilling and reflective of universal struggles. By immersing themselves in this harrowing tale, I hope readers gain a deeper understanding of the fragility and strength of the human spirit, and perhaps, see their own lives mirrored or distortedly reflected in Sam's narrative. They should appreciate the choices and connections that shape who they are. It is a narrative I want readers to not forget.

What is one message you would like readers to remember?

We are all the heroes of our own stories. However, when push comes to shove, survival often demands choices that challenge the essence of our humanity. Hope, connection, and purpose are the core of humanity, no matter the circumstances.

Through Sam's journey, I want readers to reflect on their own boundaries-how far they would go to endure, and what they would hold onto when everything else is stripped away. The story explores resilience, morality, and transformation, prompting readers to question what it truly means to be human.
