I put my head down in Ongarue and finished the draft by Hamilton. It also meant I had more time to write while on board - and write I did, completing an entire draft of an essay I’d been struggling with. Still, this meant I could listen to Kiwirail’s audio commentary about the King Country and travel over the Raurimu Spiral for the first time. I live in Taumarunui, and needed to travel south to board the Kiwirail train at National Park station before heading north. My Surrey Hotel writing residency really started and ended on the train to Auckland. Antony Millen of Taumarunui was runner-up of the 2016 Surrey Hotel Steve Braunias Memorial Writers Residency in Association with The Spinoff Award – and used his time at the spacious and splendid Grey Lynn hotel to write 28,000 words of his next YA novel. Told in an open, authentic voice, this nuanced story of hiding in plain sight may have listeners thinking about homelessness in a whole new way. Will Ari be forced to break one of her promises to Mama? But all of this jumping around makes it hard for Ari to keep up with her schoolwork, never mind her friendships, and getting into Carter starts to seem impossible. He and Ari have been "couch surfing," staying with Gage's friend in his tiny apartment, crashing with Gage's girlfriend and two roommates, and if necessary, sneaking into a juvenile shelter to escape the cold Maine nights. What Ari didn't realize was that Gage didn't have an apartment yet.Īnd now, two months later, he still doesn't. So when eigheeen-year-old Gage decided he could no longer live with their bossy guardian, Janna, Ari knew she had to go with him-even though she'd miss baking cookies with Janna and curling up to watch HGTV. When Ari's mother died four years ago, she had two final wishes: that Ari and her older brother, Gage, would stay together always, and that Ari would go to Carter, the middle school for gifted students. There's just one problem-Gage doesn't actually have a place to live. When forced to choose between staying with her guardian and being with her big brother, Ari chose her big brother. Owned by large corporations, the feed observes users and makes suggestions based on their location and behaviour. The feed is an implanted technology that creates a virtual world where the user can access entertainment, shopping, chatting and information. On arrival they are subjected to a barrage of ideas and advertisements on their feed. The group are so bored they are playing with live wires and slamming their chairs into each other for fun, showing an inconsideration of the other passengers. This was a last minute thing to do on a Friday night, the youths just looking for fun but it turning out to have ‘completely sucked’. The youths are bored despite what, to the reader, might seem like an incredible adventure. The novel quickly establishes a few basic elements that will prevail throughout the text. Part 1 – Moon Your Face is Not An Organ (Part 1.1)Īnderson’s Feed opens with a group of young adults on their way to the Moon. "A picturesque family vacation in rural Vermont inspires Stimson and her husband to pay a visit to what they call the "Life Store" to shop for a new adventure: packing up their city life in St. Why? "The bread," they tell her, "you moved the bread from where it used to be." Can the citified newcomer turn the tide of mistrust before she ruins the business altogether?Follow the author to her wit's end and back, through her full immersion into rural life-swapping high heels for muck boots raising chickens and sheep fighting off skunks, foxes, and bears and making a few friends and allies in a tiny town steeped in history, local tradition, and that dyed-in-the-wool Vermont "character." She dreams of patrons streaming in for fresh-made sandwiches and an old-timey candy counter, but she learns they're boycotting the store. 2,036, one of the oldest continually operating country stores in the country, she learns the hard way that "improvements" are not always welcomed warmly by folks who like things just fine the way they'd always been. When she decides she wants to own and operate the old-fashioned village store in idyllic Dorset, pop. In self-deprecating and hilarious fashion, Mud Season chronicles Stimson's transition from city life to rickety Vermont farmhouse. Setting The Force Awakens thirty years after Return of the Jedi created a significant time gap. My early childhood was spent watching and rewinding a VHS recorded copy of A New Hope until I wore the tape out. I’ve loved Star Wars for as long as I can remember. When Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012 and announced that there would be a sequel to Return of the Jedi, I was thrilled. It’s a reminder that Return of the Jedi ended with the death of a man who wielded incredible power to manipulate an entire galaxy and that the story doesn’t really end there. It’s a chilling moment as readers are reminded of the saga of films that gave us Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and the Force. A Review of Star Wars: Aftermath by Chuck WendigĬhuck Wendig’s Star Wars: Aftermath begins on the planet Coruscant as people gather in Monument Plaza to tear down the statue of Emperor Palpatine, the man who had long ago enslaved the entire galaxy to his oppressive rule, who was recently killed in the destruction of the of the Empire’s second Death Star near the forest moon of Endor. Doolittle who lived with animals in his house. I became obsessed with the place, especially after I learned that the park’s naturalist was a real-life Dr. I googled it, and found out that it was built by a 19th century robber baron and that he’d also built a 26,000-acre exotic animal park… and that the park is still there today. This is a really long story, but I’ll keep it short– but for now, this novel came about when I was traveling in New Hampshire, and I came across this enormous yellow mansion in the middle of a rural area. What inspired you to write UNLIKELY ANIMALS? How did you plan all the different story lines? Fans of Hartnett’s first novel, RABBIT CAKE, will recognize her particular blend of humor and tragedy that skillfully conveys the bittersweet and complex nature of relationships, especially among family. This funny and intricate novel weaves together the stories of the residents of Everton, New Hampshire, and includes ghosts, the healing touch, a secret compound, and many unlikely animals like wild boar and a Russian fox (but no mountain lions). Annie Hartnett’s second novel, UNLIKELY ANIMALS, is the story of Emma, a med school dropout returning to her small New Hampshire hometown to take care of her father who is suffering from dementia.
