Ten reasons you should read Ninety-five percent Human

-
Today I'm taking part in the book launch blog tour of Suzanna Williams' new YA novel, Ninety-Five percent Human. The tour has been arranged by the Finishing Fairies and you can find the list of bloggers taking part at the bottom of this post. Now for the good stuff.

Ninety-five percent Human is a YA sci-fi. It tells the story of sixteen year old Joe Kendrick who saves a girl from drowning only to discover that she is a human/alien hybrid sent to Earth as a test. As she has survived, hostile aliens are now planning their attack on the planet.

Inspired by 'the Welsh Roswell', an alleged UFO crash in the Berwyn Mountains in 1974, along with reports of strange animal mutilations on the Welsh hillsides, and the ongoing Government conspiracy theory cover-up debate, the story mixes real-life places and events with fictional explanations.

What are the ten reasons why you should read Ninety-five percent Human? I'll tell you.

1. Sleepy Welsh villages.


2. Evolving robots with a taste for bad jokes.

3. Homeland Security, UFO investigations desk.


4. Learning a language by watching movies.

5. Alien stealth ships.


6. Gambling debts and stolen money.

7. Lifeguard resuscitation drills.


8. Forgetting why you liked your ex.

9. Deserted villages used for military maneouvres.


10. Finding out your girlfriend is only ninety-five percent human.

What do you think? Are those good enough reasons to buy Suzanna's book? If you'd like to find out more about the author, check out my cover reveal post from earlier this month.

Taking location inspiration from real life

Real life doesn't just have to provide inspiration for our characters. It can also feed into the locations we use in our writing. This is the school I attended between the ages of seven and eight years old. This photograph, and more of the interior, was kindly taken by an old school friend. I always loved this building and now it has provided the inspiration for Darkacre School in my novel. Photograph taken by Dan Howard of 500px.com York Minster (from my home town) was the inspiration for the cathedral where Rex Haven's funeral takes place in my novel. Taken from www.rightmove.co.uk The terraces of the South Bank area of York, where I lived for a time, are the streets of the old town in my novel. The details don't have to remain the same - we writers are tailors of imagination after all - but basing our story locations in reality can add a grounding element to our writing that convinces our readers. What real locations have you used in your wr...
