Talking with author Kenneth G.Bennett
Have you always wanted to be an
author?
I started writing
stories at age 6 and have been a professional advertising copywriter most of my
adult life. I’ve always loved telling stories.
Are you a plotter or a punster or
combo of both? And you explain the difference?
I don’t like plotting. I prefer to
start with an idea that I’m in love with and build the story organically, as I
go.
What is your most interesting
writing quirk?
I go for long walks to help me come
up with ideas.
How did you come with the idea for
this story?
I’d been reading about ecological catastrophe and then stumbled on
some articles about animal intelligence and the surprising cognitive abilities
of non-human species. The two topics came together to form the underlying
concept of the book.
Can you share with us your current
work(s) in progress?
I’m working on a
story called THE HEALER, about a man who discovers later in life that he has an
amazing healing ability—a talent that could change the world.
Who is the one author that you would
love to meet someday and why?
Lee Child—I love the Reacher series
and think Child’s writing is brilliant.
What is the best piece of advice
you would give to someone that wants to get into writing?
Read Stephen King’s book ON
WRITING, at least twice.
Can you share with us something off
your bucket list?
I’d like to kayak for a week in
Glacier Bay in Alaska
What is in your To Read Pile that
you are dying to start or upcoming release you can’t wait for?
I’m anxious to get to SHIFT, Hugh
Howey’s sequel to WOOL.
What is one book everyone should
read before they die?
The Hobbit. It’s my favorite book
of all time
What is your favorite time of year
& why?
Winter. I love skiing and the stars
on cold winter nights.
Is there anything else you would
like to add?
Thank you so much for this
opportunity!

Summary:
Joe Stanton is in agony. Out of
his mind over the death of his young daughter. Or so it seems.
Unable to contain his grief, Joe loses control in public, screaming his daughter’s name and causing a huge scene at a hotel on San Juan Island in Washington State. Thing is, Joe Stanton doesn’t have a daughter. Never did. And when the authorities arrive they blame the 28-year-old’s outburst on drugs.
What they don’t yet know is that others up and down the Pacific coast—from the Bering Sea to the Puget Sound—are suffering identical, always fatal mental breakdowns.
With the help of his girlfriend—the woman he loves and dreams of marrying—Joe struggles to unravel the meaning of the hallucination destroying his mind. As the couple begins to perceive its significance—and Joe’s role in a looming global calamity—they must also outwit a billionaire weapons contractor bent on exploiting Joe’s newfound understanding of the cosmos, and outlast the time bomb ticking in Joe’s brain.
