Just what the doctor ordered, Claudia. During Covid I re-read the first 2 Dune books. It had been so long since written that Herbert's son wrote a new forward. In it he stated is father was probably the first or one of the first global warming warners. And in reading, it surely was. A dry landscape without water, but their resolve to work within their boundaries and discover ways to make an Eden topography. Best of luck! Very much in need at this time.
Thanks Jeanine, I appreciate the words of encouragement. I’m writing the last story and slowly coming to an end almost two years after I started publishing, four years since I started writing, and over a decade since I started the worldbuilding for this secondary world.
I’m a huge fan of Dune, it has a major influence on my writing and approach to fiction. Frank Herbert is a role model because he not only wrote about these topics but also set an example with how he lived.
Sounds awesome - have you written 'yourself' into the story..?
Do you mean, have I created a character that is actually me? Not really. But I wrote my beliefs into the novel.
