Karri Thompson | The World of MIRROR X
What does the future hold for mankind? With the fear of a world-wide pandemic,
World-War III, and the effects of climate change, itโs no wonder why
Doomsday Preppers is a popular show on the National Geographic Channel.
MIRROR X
takes the reader into a world 1,003 years from now. The main character,
Cassie, died during our century and is โawakenedโ into a world still suffering
from a plague that affected the worldโs population. But thereโs something about
Cassie that makes her different from anybody else (I canโt tell you what that
is, or it will give away an important twist J). In a way, this makes her
supernatural. Cassie is invaluable to this world and in being so, is manipulated
and lied to by the government of this so-called Utopian society.
At seventeen, Cassie has some very important decisions to make. She is
incredibly intelligent and worldly, due to traveling the world with her
paleontologist mother to accompany her on digs. But being homeschooled, she is
also naรฏve and has never had a real boyfriend. This makes her even more
vulnerable, especially when it comes to Michael, the hot, young geneticist who
โawakenedโ her from death.
I love Cassie! Being trained in the field, she is as skilled as any degreed
paleontologist and longs for this occupation in 3025. Paleontology has always
fascinated me. I canโt tell you how many hours I spent at the Natural History
Museum in San Diego when I was a kid, staring at the dinosaur bones with a
dropped jaw.
This book also deals with important ethical issues when it comes to genetics
(again, I canโt reveal a twist J). But writing this book gave me the opportunity
to bring back the past in a very unique and scary way. There is definitely a
special place in my heart for Magnum, who is beyond cool.
MIRROR X
is a series. Book 2 is written. Book 3 is in my head. As an English teacher, I
have two months to be a full-time writer. My goal is to finish book three before
the end of August.
I love interacting with readers and sharing what I know with aspiring writers,
so feel free to contact me anytime through my website.

Captivating and intriguing. Thanks

Where I live, I'm unable to get cable tv, and I suppose it's
a blessing. I belong to the group that believes that
climate change is a myth, and won't use this blog as a forum
as to why. It sounds like your book has some validity to
it, and I would be interested in reading it, just to find
out how your story unfolds.

I want to read your book. Will it come out in trade paperback soon? I do not have an e-reader. It sounds very good, and I enjoy reading books like this, and watching doomsday preppers on tv. People think this is weird and these people are strange...but they may indeed be smarter than the rest of us, when they're prepared for everything, and we're not.
