Oware Mosaic: A #ScienceFiction #Horror Novel by Nzondi



Oware Mosaic 

by Nzondi

Genre: SciFi, Horror


Decades after a cataclysmic nuclear war, Ghanaian scientists develop
technology that store consciousness onto data orbs called retcons.
Seventeen-year-old forensic specialist, Feeni Xo, is a Enhuman (a
radiation-enhanced metabolic human) that, similar to a vampire, need
blood for sustenance. Through a game called the House of Oware, Feeni
discovers that the virtual construct is actually an augmented
reality. She and her human best friend, Sammi, a young female
detective, have been mysteriously given specialized neural implants
that allow them to hack into government software. The two teenagers
race against time in a horrific world of deformed beasts to piece
together the puzzles of the digital mosaic. Will they find a way to
save sentient beings from total extinction or will they run out of time? 

“Once again, Nzondi creates a rich and vibrant world crackling with life.
He is a brilliant writer, one readers and critics should be watching.”
—Pete Nowalk, creator of How To Get Away With Murder

"If you're looking for a story that's daringly imaginative, Oware Mosiac
will scratch that itch." 
—Alma Katsu, author of The Hunger

"Nzondi's Oware Mosaic is real Afrofuturism, speculative fiction actually set
on the continent itself. This is the future of SF, and the
future is looking good.”
—Steven Barnes, author of Lion’s Blood

Blog Tour: The Return of King Lillian - A #Fantasy #Audiobook by Suzie Plakson



When Lillian, the one and only heir to the throne, is cast out of her kingdom by malevolent forces, she accidentally wanders into the Forest of Forgetfullness, where she is rescued by wolves and raised by an eccentric old wise woman. When she comes of age, she is called by Destiny to return home. The trouble is, when Lillian steps out of the Forest, she has no memory of who she is or from whence she hails. Undaunted, the spirited, self-reliant young woman sets off into the unknown, determined to rediscover her long lost self and to reclaim her stolen birthright.

Early readers and listeners have compared this allegorical saga to The Last Unicorn, The Alchemist, The Princess Bride, and The Once and Future King. The Return of King Lillian is a story for people who take the road less traveled, people who live outside the box, people who love fantasy, fairy tales, myth, and metaphysics. This debut novel, written and narrated by multi-media artist Suzie Plakson, is a journey full of comedy, calamity, and a host of unforgettable characters.

2019 Pinnacle Book Achievement Award Winner
2019 Readers’ Favorite Award Winner


EDITORIAL REVIEWS:

"The Return of King Lillian is entrancing, audacious, and addictive in the very best way. A splendidly creative allegory told by Suzie Plakson with flair, wit, and passion.”
— Marianne de Pierres, author of Parrish Plessis and The Peacemaker series

"The Return of King Lillian is a basket of magic. Echoing Joseph Campbell's feeling that the world needs new storytellers and new myths to help us greet the coming age, I'll say that Suzie Plakson is one of those storytellers, and King Lillian is one of those myths.”
— Jacob Nordby, author of Blessed are the Weird: A Manifesto for Creatives

"With The Return of King Lillian, Suzie Plakson has done the impossible, telling a tale that at once seems both like a timeless classic and something modern, fresh, and entirely new.  And her audiobook performance is a joy in its own right.  Suzie casts you under her spell as she inhabits the character of Lillian, as well as every other magical creature and person Lillian encounters along her journey.  This impeccably-produced recording is guaranteed to brighten your day and lift your spirits!”
— David Briggs, Supervising Sound Editor, Tales of the City, Divorce

"To say that King Lillian thoroughly enchanted me and left me spellbound would be the understatement of the century. I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks, and King Lillian is my favorite of all. Suzie Plakson's voice is velvet mixed with grit mixed with enchantment. It takes you into another realm - into the mystic.”
— Kelly Sullivan Walden, author of It's All in Your Dreams

About the Author


Suzie Plakson has been in love with fairy tale and myth ever since she was a young lass growing up in the wilds of suburbia. The idea for "The Return of King Lillian" first came to her when she was a struggling theatre actor in New York City, doing odd jobs, improv comedy, and various off-off-Broadway productions.  She eventually landed a lead in a national tour, which dropped her off in Hollywood, and since that time she has appeared in such films and television shows as "Mad About You," "Love and War," "Wag the Dog," "Dinosaurs," "Everybody Loves Raymond," "How I Met Your Mother" and "Star Trek."  She has also done voiceovers, written short stories and poetry, written and recorded an alternative country album, created an allegorical solo show, and produced sculptures large and small in her otherwise unused oven. "The Return of King Lillian" is her debut novel.  Read more at: kinglillian.com and suzieplakson.com
