My New/Old Book: The Edge Of When

I wrote four science fiction books 30 years ago. I've rewritten and updated three of them: It's Up To Us, Zanu and Me, Myself and I. They warned of nuclear war, terrorism, corporate greed and a corporate takeover of the world—well...you get the drift. Sounds more like right now than the future. But I live in hope. We can still change the world for the better. Yes, that includes getting involved in politics—because if we don't, those who do will make all the big decisions for us?

It was a fascinating exercise rewriting three books from so long ago. What to keep? What to drop? My editor Christie Harkin was a great help. She was able to look at all three books with fresh eyes and suggest entire chapters and story lines that just weren't necessary once I was melding all three books together. 

I'm really happy with the old/new book. I hope it will give readers lots to think about. And perhaps even propel them into action in politics, the environment, progressive causes that can make our world a better place for everyone, not just a playground for a privileged—or fanatic—few.
