The dawn of hope highlights the damage as Emmaus emerges from the deadliest winter in American history.

The fundamental transformation of the United States of America continues as the beleaguered survivors of the apocalyptic winter gather to form a new government, only to recognize the divides are deep and the bickering nations of the American experiment may not be able to manage a grand compromise.

Meanwhile, darker forces wrangle to take their own version of control and put Shane Delaney and his fellow delegates in the crosshairs of danger.

Welcome to another blog hop. I’m away at the caravan at the moment, and so might have to check other blogs out on Thursday after I’ve returned home if the internet is patchy. Anyway, here’s this week’s topic:

Do you have advice for changing perspective? For example, switching from writing exclusively in the third person and switching to first person? Or do you have a reason for staying with the perspective you do?

In my novel A House Without Windows I wrote the first half of the book in the first person, as several characters tell the story as it happens. Mid-way through I switched to the third person to write from the point of view of an observer who carries the story forward regarding the aftermath of what had already happened.

Do you tackle current political turmoil in your stories or avoid it? Tell us why.

All writers and creators are influenced by current events. Unless you are hiding out in the middle of the desert/forest/mountains/tundra in the one spot in the world without a WiFi signal, these are going to affect your writing to some degree.

Some of my first poems tackled topical issues and I am still inspired to write depending on what is in the news. My sci-fi writing eludes to what could happen if things go unchanged in the world.

But mostly, my two crudely drawn cartoons, The Miniscules and The Untitled, are the pallet that I use to paint the current state of affairs. I post them on Wednesdays, but two examples are:
