Dystopian Story Inside of a Dystopian Story

Simon Carr Author Interview

Da’Resistance follows five friends who somehow managed to survive an alien invasion apocalypse and now are forming a resistance to save Earth. What I love about these characters is how realistic their interactions are. Did you create an outline for the characters in the story before you started writing, or did the characters’ personalities grow organically as you were writing?

I let the characters develop as I went along, I always start with a very basic premise for all of my books, with Da’ Resistance I simply used the start of a very common joke that people tell in the UK. An English man, an Irish man, and a Scottish man are in a pub, that gave me the starting point, so I just let it progress from there.

With so many laugh-out-loud moments in this story, what was your favorite scene to write?

I think it was when they found the people hiding underground, I really enjoyed putting a separate dystopian story inside of a Dystopian story.

What is the next book you are working on, and when will it be available?

It’s already available, it’s the second book in my One-Eyed Cy series called, One-Eyed Cy And The Army Of The Toad People. I am currently working on the second Da’ Resistance book called Still Resisting, which will be available sometime towards the end of November 2023.

Well, that was sudden! Shamus turns on the television to discover that the planet has been invaded. Drew, Sabastian, and Mary along with Shamus and an alien visitor, Teak, are all that survived the swift Apocalypse.

Forming the resistance did not take long, there’s only five of them, but they will put up a fight none the less.

This is a tale of something or other, and what a tale it is. There was, something, then there was this other thing. Nobody saw it coming, nobody expected it, and nobody could have imagined the fight that followed, from Da’ Resistance!
