Pharmacueticals Are Gone. What Do You Do?
Welcome to an un-medicated America in this dystopian post apocalypse, literary thriller.
After a series of devastating terrorist attacks deprives America of the pharmaceuticals on which it depends, Aberdeen Childress fights to keep her family and an apartment building full of lost souls sane and safe in a city run by agents of the very drug cartel responsible for the attacks.
As the military moves in to stop the chaos, private companies deal with those off their medications and fraudulent faith healers promise deliverance, Aberdeen is forced to deal with the city's tormentors to fulfill her needs, and the needs of the people she loves. In this dystopian America, she must decide if she'll become a heroine and overcome her enemies or give in to the allure of a fraying society and fulfilled desires.
Faced with an uncertain future and hindered by her own failing lungs, Aberdeen struggles to maintain balance, to save lives, and to survive in a world where salvation and destruction are intimately linked to chemicals.
Interview with the Author:
Q - What can readers expect from this book?
A - Chemicals is a dark read confronting our dependency on drugs and America's war on drugs. It takes a creative look at a scenario where we are left without an escape via chemicals from all our problems, both physical and mental. If you have ever feared the outcome of terrorism or the impact of drug cartels on society, this will keep you fascinated. But it's a great dystopian/post apocalyptic read as well with some science fiction flair. Fans of psychological suspense and a strong female protagonist will be pleased as well.
Q - Is this book standalone or will it be part of a series?
A - Originally written as a standalone, I'm in the works of writing a sequel. I think the entire series will be three books long and I look forward to going deeper into an America without ready access to legal drugs and what that might look like for my characters.
Q - Why is Chemicals important to readers?
A - Whether we like it or not, most of us have addictions or dependencies on modern drugs, illicit or legal. I wouldn't be alive today without my asthma inhalers. It's scary to consider a scenario where we are cut off from the drugs most of us need in order to lead our lives in health and happiness. I have yet to run across an American that doesn't need pharmaceuticals; it affects all our lives so much. How horrible would it be if that blessing was disturbed by some terrorist, drug cartel act?
