Author Interview
Terence S. McNamara Author Interview

The Elysium Conundrum is a thought-provoking narrative intertwining the lives of two scientists surrounding time travel and altering the course of history and the ramifications of doing so. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

My inspiration was to have a look at a possible future if genetic engineering progresses on its current path and at the same time explore the hypocrisy of the historical records surrounding the Second World War.

What was your approach to writing the interactions between characters?

I wrote and developed the characters in detail, with a detailed back story. Once they were fully drawn the interactions took care of themselves.

What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?

Where we are going as a species;
The future of and dangers associated with space exploration;
The misinformation perpetrated on the general public running up to, during, and after the Second World War.

What is the next book you’re working on, and when can your fans expect it out?

The next completed book is a modern-day crime thriller called American Totems which explores American culture and regard for violence both as individuals and as a community. On the drawing board: it is back to science fiction with When Earth Attacks which looks at an accelerated technological revolution starting in the current day and expanding over the next one hundred years up to human contact with extraterrestrial life.
