A Disturbing Warning

Simon Carr Author Interview

Control Spark follows a recently dumped man who takes a trip to Egypt, where a trinket he purchased at the airport transports him to the pyramids, and he encounters an ancient power that gives him the ability to manipulate matter. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

The premise for the book started around the true story of a Genius Russian child Boriska Kipriyanovich who amazed scientists back in the nineties with his knowledge of the cosmos, what made him unusual though was he claimed he was the reincarnation of a Martian and he had a disturbing warning for mankind about their impending doom. Boriska offered hope though, he claimed a secret was hidden inside the Great Pyramids of Giza that could save mankind, it is pretty nailed on he was just a very smart kid messing with people, but I ran with that idea and created Control Spark from it.

This book has some amazing creatures. What was your favorite character to create and write for?

My favourite creature to write was The Mop, I loved starting with a mundane household object and then adding layers to it as we progress through the story.

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

The main theme that I wanted to get across was the idea that the Universe and all of reality could just think themselves into existence. You ask the question, how can something come from nothing? I propose that it cannot, but an idea can come from nothing, and something can come from an idea.

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

    I literally just finished it last week. It’s with my editor now and should be published next week, the last week of November. Saint Frank And The Dragon is a fantasy book and a spoof parody of Saint George And The Dragon.

    There’s a lot to cover here, ok, first what if the voice inside your head left and became a mop, you ever think of that? of course not, why would you, forget that.

    Second! If particles are everywhere all at once until they are observed, then why do we all see the same thing when we observe them, who is doing that, it can’t be us or we would all see something different, who or what controls what particles become when we look at them?

    Nigal is about to discover the answer to that question when he stumbles across a secret that’s been hidden under the great pyramids for thousands of years, a discovery that throws his, and everyone else’s life into utter chaos!
