Sharon Hamilton: Explore your far side, my far side…
Thursday, January 19th, 2017

We get to have fun as writers, creating other worlds and fantastical beings. My new release, Gideon: Heavenly Fall, has been pure joy to write.

Most people know me as a Navy SEAL writer. And I still love those boys, and probably will write them until the cows come home. But I also love paranormal, for the sheer fun of writing about special powers and unearthly situations and body parts.

I have a secondary character in Gideon, who is an inventor. He makes robots, or ā€œbotsā€ as we call them in the book. Pleasure bots, animal bots, and an army of doll warrior bots. I wanted to write him because I have a futuristic book Iā€™m working on that would also have a bot factory.

Hereā€™s a little excerpt from Gideon as the three main characters arrive to meet the clockmaker for the first time:

ā€œThis guy have a sense of humor?ā€ Gideon frowned at his Guardian friend.

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  ā€œI doubt it. Heā€™s not that way.ā€

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  ā€œSo whatā€™s with the ā€˜Out Of Timeā€™ sign?ā€

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  ā€œIā€™ve never thought about that. Iā€™ll ask him.ā€ Francis opened his door. ā€œI think Iā€™ll approach with your Guardian, while you wait in the truck, if you donā€™t mind.ā€

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  ā€œAs if I have a choice.ā€

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  ā€œYour funeral. We have to handle this guy with kid gloves.ā€ Frances squinted and then peered up to the windows above the shop. ā€œHeā€™s kinda weird. Hard to think what goes on in that mind of his. Iā€™m guessing he has a lot of moving parts that look something like this.ā€ Francis pointed to a flock of mechanical birds flying inside the window in loose formation.

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  ā€œAre those real?ā€ Persephone noticed a cloud of small buzzing insects hovering over the archway of the front door on the outside of the building.

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  ā€œYup. Real bots.ā€ Francis grinned at Gideon, rain soaking his right shoulder and running down his front. ā€œTheyā€™re as real as the real ones, just made up of different material, thatā€™s all. The guyā€™s a genius.ā€

*~*~*

I hope you will stop by and give Gideon some love. Weā€™re working on the audio book starting next week. Join me as I explore some of my Far Side.
