Have you ever attended camp in the mountains? What if all the cellphones stopped working? What if the mail stopped being delivered? What if almost all the adults disappeared? What if you discovered that the Earth below was covered by mysterious fog? What if your parents never came to collect you? What would you do? What would you eat? Where would you live in winter? Could you survive?
Forty eight teenagers are trapped in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Will it be everyone for themselves, or will they create a community?
Targeted Age Group:: 14 to 24
How is Writing In Your Genre Different from Others?
An author has a lot more freedom when writing science fiction than in almost any other genre, except for fantasy.
What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
Have more than one manuscript in progress. If, on a particular day, you do not feel like writing one, you may feel like writing another. When doing description, save most of it for after the main body of your manuscript is completed.
Author Bio:
I’m Stan Morris. I was born in Linwood, California, and was raised in Norwalk and Concord, California. In 1972, I moved to New Mexico. I met a girl at college in 1975, set out to score, and have been married to her since 1977. We lived in Texas for five years and then moved to Maui. We have two grown boys, both gainfully employed, thank goodness. My wife had the career and I had the job, so I worked at a variety of those before developing a computer business in the late 1980’s. Now we are retired and living on a farm. I garden, watch sports, listen to music, read, and write. I don’t make much money at it, so occasionally I have to ask my wife for my allowance. I like science fiction (Heinlein, Asimov, Weber, Flint), romance (Krentz, Roberts, Morisi, Chesney), mystery (JD Robb, MC Beaton), historical fiction (Lindsey, Stewart), and history books (Shelby Foote, David McCullough, William J. Bernstein.)
I was inspired to write Surviving the Fog, and its sidequel Surviving the Fog-Kathy’s Recollections, by my annoyed reaction to Lord of the Flies, and by my positive reaction to Heinlein’s Tunnel in the Sky. My belief is that the formation of communities is embedded in the DNA of homosapians. Bees create hives. Wolves form packs. Humans create communities. I wanted to describe the evolution of a community by a group of teenagers.
