Let's Talk: Reversal Book Release

Image
  What else can we say, but, “It's the official release day”? It’s really exciting to start the new year off on a high note, regardless of all of the chaos surrounding us in this day and time. I feel like there isn’t much to be said, so I am going to let the story speak for itself. Humanity in Retrograde In this retro-futuristic era, the old look and reproduce as if in the prime of their lives. The babies delivered into this world—sickly, fighting for every second to have a slim chance of survival. To turn this existence on its heels, it requires something … or someone … Special.  When a healthy baby is discovered by Nurse Celestine, she makes it her mission to protect what she believes is a well-kept secret.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t take long for the observant Nurse Trudy to put the pieces together to utilize for her personal gain as well as orchestrate Nurse Celestine’s ruin. Can Nurse Celestine succeed in combating the determined Nurse Trudy, or will all that is special be e

Let's Talk: Character Connectivity (Reversal Blog Tour)

Hello Awesome Visitors! It's fast and furious in Interludes. Can you believe it is already Day 3 of the Reversal blog tour? Where has the time gone? If only we could reverse it 😄. I think that's my cue to exit. Don't worry. I won't quit my writing career to pursue comedy. Once again, here's Y!

I’ve always written in a way that blurs genres, lines, and character makeup. In a typical story the two main characters—Albert and Celestine—would either be related or have some sort of romantic connection, whether it was reciprocated or not. I, however, believe that in real life that isn’t always the case. In real life, things aren’t just black and white. Thus, when mimicking real life via its fictional mirror, it’s important to stay true to certain elements. Blurred lines is one of them. I was asked, “Why aren’t Albert and Celestine an item?” The an

Let's Talk: Setting and Location (Reversal Blog Tour)

Hello Awesome Visitors! Welcome to Day 2 of Y. Correa's Reversal blog tour. Today, she takes over Interludes once more to speak on how setting and location can be its own character. When the location and setting is also a character Yup, you heard me right. Today I am going to talk about how the location and setting of “Reversal” is also a character in the story. Or at least, that’s how I see it. Open your mind and let me take you on a trip into the impossible. Over one hundred years from now a society exists that is living in a reversed reality. This is not a dystopian future, but the future thereafter. It’s a time when humanity has rebuilt the devastation that destroyed reality as humanity knew it. But, in this time, everything is old, because old is new. Picture being so far into the future that people are living in a replica of the past. A 1950s replica to be exact. Underneath all of the vintage allure of this world, one can still find the rubble of a world that once was. Things
