Being able to see 5 seconds into the future may not seem like much, but in Alexander Boldizar's latest novel, The Man Who Saw Seconds, it's enough to change the world. This fast-paced story explores the dynamics of power structures, the line between good and evil, and the power of family. And it invites the reader to consider some serious questions:
Can you return to what you were after you've crossed the line?
How far is too far to save the people you love?
Just how powerful is 5 seconds of local omniscience?
In the first of our two-part discussion, I chat with Alexander about his path from law to writing, publishing with Clash Books and navigating the financial side of bookselling, and how to craft an entertaining story that can still be a vehicle for the exploration of ideologies.
Books of his we discuss: The Ugly, The Man Who Saw Seconds
