Chrononaut (Author Interview)

Chrononaut looks like an exciting story.  Can you tell us a little about John?

John is basically an average guy who is pulled into this unique situation by happenstance. The goal was to make him as relatable as possible while also giving him a unique personality.

 

Any plans to turn it into a series?

I was thinking about it. I could either do a direct sequel from the point of view of another character or an indirect sequel that takes place in the same world by is a new story.

 

That’s an amazing cover.  Can you tell us a little about it?

Well, I wanted a cover that invoked the essence of the story. My goal was to have an image that anyone would see and say, "that looks interesting."


What inspired you when writing Chrononaut?  

It is story that I had in my mind for years. I first drafted for a class by making it a choose your own adventure type game. Then, I decided write the actual story. The game is still playable at raycobb85.itch.io/chrononaut

 

What will readers get out of your book?

I think readers will like how mysterious yet fun the story is. It's the type of book you can get lost it and finish fairly quickly.

 

How did you come up with the story and ideas in Chrononaut?

I actually came up with the idea watching the television show Heroes, where one the characters had the ability to freeze time, teleport, and travel through time. I thought, what if there was a world in which multiple people had these powers, and what if these people were at war with each other.

 

Did anything stick out as particularly challenging when writing Chrononaut?

Since the game version of the story is told as if the player is in John shoes, the biggest challenge was converting that into a cohesive story told in third person.

 

What do you like to do when not writing?

I spend time with my family and friends. I am married with children, and work both a full-time and park-time job, so I like to get my time in with them where ever I can.
