The two-page article about The Space Traveller’s Lover contains the sections “About the Book”, “About the Author”, and an exclusive interview. The following is an extract from this amazing interview:

• What inspired you to pursue a career in science and technology, and how has this influenced your writing?

From an early age, I was curious and intrigued by everything in nature. I asked my parents so many questions and read so many books. Science was my favourite subject; I loved learning the facts and wondering about the mysteries. That is why I found myself drawn to science-fiction and adventure books where I could let my imagination run wild. My zest for reading and writing about all things science-related only grew, so it was natural for me to pursue a career in science and technology and eventually be determined to write a book where I delve into these fascinating topics.

• Can you tell us about your early experiences with writing and how you developed your skills over time?

Since I started school, I have loved reading and writing. At 17, I finished my first handwritten book, a collection of children’s stories, which my friends and family enjoyed. But I had so many other interests and hobbies, so I did not see writing as something I should pursue and took it only as a pastime. I concentrated on my university degree and passion for software programming and astronomy ventures. During that time, I enjoyed writing technical reports and presentations about my projects and writing short stories for myself. Although I was always busy with work and family life, my passion for reading and writing never waned.

• How did your university degree and passion for software programming and astronomy shape your writing process?

Many concepts I learned from my university degree, my work as a software programmer and my travels during various astronomy projects are reflected in the story and characters of my book.

In my novel “The Space Traveller’s Lover”, I delve into the most fundamental questions of our times: are we alone in the Universe? What is the meaning of life? Can the brain create and ultimately control any technology? Can we live forever while travelling to any part of the Universe? Can we harness an infinite source of energy?

• What motivated you to start taking your writing seriously after years of viewing it as a pastime?

Apart from being fascinated by science and technology, I also enjoy the intense emotions stirred by love stories. Hence I started wondering, “How powerful can love be?”

I had a lot of ideas in my head, and the more I thought about them, the more ideas came. Eventually, I had to write down all these stories. Seeing all my ideas come to life as written words on a document was such a relief. Then after that, I could not stop. I soon realised that the storyline was developing into a love dilemma set in a science-fiction background where I could let my imagination go free without limits.

The creation process was so enjoyable and satisfying that I had to write something every evening after dinner. It did not take long to set myself targets and goals and take my writing seriously. My book “The Space Traveller’s Lover” was published five years later.

• What was the inspiration behind your book “The Space Traveller’s Lover,” and what themes do you explore in it?

I have always wanted to write a science-fiction book based on all my experience and knowledge and as a homage to my favourite authors, artists and scientists whom I greatly respect and admire.

Apart from exploring the scientific mysteries that make us wonder and theorise, I also explore the impact of climate change and to what extent it will transform our civilisation and our environment. I cover a possible scenario in “The Space Traveller’s Lover” to make us think about the potential consequences. I hope it will make the readers think about our place, duty and responsibilities on our beautiful planet.

At the same time, the fast-paced, intriguing storyline showcases the beauty of the human spirit and the power of love.

• How do you balance your busy career as a software manager with your writing and other hobbies?

As I work full-time as a software engineer and manager, finding time for all my other activities and hobbies, like astronomy projects and travelling, is difficult.

Still, I follow a strict schedule based on priorities and achieving goals, so I make sure I also find time for reading and writing. It is all about discipline, sticking to the plan and celebrating the achieved milestones, however small.

• How does it feel to be an award-winning software manager and a published author, and what do you hope readers take away from your writing?

It gives me great satisfaction to be an award-winning software manager as well as a published author. The fact that I have achieved those milestones in subjects I am passionate about further motivates me to keep creating and accomplishing new things.

“The Space Traveller’s Lover” will take the reader on a journey of self-discovery and self-questioning. The story’s central theme is the love between humans, between humans and aliens and the love for our planet. It will make the readers wonder about their decision-making when confronted with the dilemmas presented in my book. Would we save everything we cherish in this world or give in to otherworldly temptations?

• What was your reaction when you found out that Voraka Magazine is going to feature your book, and what does it mean to you to receive recognition from such a distinguished publication?

See the book synopsis here:

The course of true love never did run smooth, as Shakespeare put it, and in the winning new sci-fi romance novel The Space Traveller’s Lover by Omara Williams, we see the truth of this maxim dialled up to maximum.

For, at the centre of this engrossing story is the challenging relationship between an exceptional young woman, Erin, and a dashing alien, Rothwen.

The fact that Rothwen & Shaillah share an electric fondness and are trying to determine whether they have a future together – while also battling over the fate of an entire planet – is simply without parallel.

Williams conveys this vulnerability so well with the rich, delicate language that gilds the narrative, immersing you in their plight.

Like with a pure romance, you are desperate for the couple to embrace and are stung by the same pains that separate them on love’s battlefield.

At the same time, your mind is whirring double-time as the Author raises many profound questions concerning the nature of the human condition, the meaning of home and belonging, loyalty vs duty, and our mistreatment of Mother Nature.

And it is a fight on many levels – for her identity, her world, and her impossible love with Rothwen, which will take every ounce of her being to resolve.

There is so much to commend here, but mostly, I like how the story makes us reflect on our own actions and constantly reminds us that it is love, not hate, that holds the key to all problems.

This is a thundering novel packed with almost all the elements of love, science fiction, suspense, action, and much more!

What if an alien falls in love with you?

Wait.Yes, aliens do exist in the world created by the author.

Rom Ghenshar is the alien race who has come to eradicate the human race by creating exact replicas of humans while sucking in the remaining resources present on the planet earth.

However, a slight deviation to their plan occurs when “Rothwen”, who is a headstrong and ruthless alien soldier,  is infatuated by a human “Erin”, a bright young human student with a mysterious past. He takes her to his planet even though it will jeopardize the plan of occupying Earth.

Erin learns a lot about the Rom Ghenshars. Now, with such access, only Erin will be able to save the further destruction of the planet earth and save the human race from becoming extinct.

Now as Erin is exposed to the enemy territory, she learns of ways in which they operate. Erin is determined to save her planet, but how will she do it?

Will she get the help of any aliens in her endeavour?

The vividness of the plot kept me hooked throughout. The author’s language drew me into a future which might come true for our planet if we aren’t careful about the sustainable utilisation of our resources.

A very thoughtful, futuristic and apocalyptic science fiction novel which have read in the recent past.

A very well-written book with several twists and turns which makes it a page-turner. The author’s imaginative writing surely got goosebumps to me.

 I picked this book, and I was blown away by the author’s style of writing and the plotline.

Highly recommended.

What if an alien fall in love with you?

Questions & answers:

• What is special in your book?

“The Space Traveller’s Lover” is a story that showcases the beauty of the human spirit and the power of love.

Set at the end of the 21st century, The Space Traveller’s Lover takes the reader on a journey to the edge of world destruction, where all hopes of survival seem lost, but at every dead-end, there is an unexpected twist that changes everything.

As much a romance as a science fiction adventure, the narrative is fast-paced, questioning, and revealing, with an intriguing and emotionally-fuelled storyline.

This inspirational love story brings about a sense of hope and expectation as the main characters confront their intense feelings and discover the one and the only thing they can’t live without.

• Do you try to be original or to deliver to readers what they want?

While writing my book, I always had the reader in mind; what would they think? How would they feel? I wanted them to ask themselves what they would do in those situations. I wanted to take the readers on a mesmerising journey through otherworldly landscapes and incredible conflicts, and that, in turn, made the plot unique and original.

• Do you think someone could be a writer if they don’t feel emotions strongly?

Writing is all about pouring one’s soul into the written word. It is like composing an opera. There are ups and downs, twists and turns, sadness and happiness, excitement and despair. So it is all about emotions. I believe the stronger the writer’s emotions, the more enduring the message they can convey.

• How long did it take you to write this book?

It took me five years to complete my book, from the first idea to the release. As I am working full-time, I only could write in the evenings and at weekends. The process of writing, reviews, illustrations and interior design was very time-consuming but very satisfying as I achieved every milestone.

• Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say?

I do receive lovely comments from my readers: For example:

“I’ve now finished your book and must say I really enjoyed it – I don’t usually read science fiction but found this an exciting, well-written story. You should be very proud!”

“I admire your amazing imagination! And I greatly appreciated the very satisfying ending.”

 “What a delightful story. The characters are terrifically crafted. The plot is intriguing and paced well. You are a natural-born storyteller.”

“ I loved the whole book, from how it started and how it ended. I am so happy that I came across this author and got to read her book.”

“I was completely lost in this book. If you love sci-fi, suspenseful, and romantic stories and love being on the edge of your seat, take a chance with this book. “

• Apart from writing books, what do you like to do?

In my spare time, when not writing or working on software development, I love reading, listening to music, travelling, learning new languages, sky-watching, and participating in astronomy-related projects and events.

• What advice would you give to a writer working on their first book?

Don’t give up. Write everything that comes to your mind, and turn your ideas into words, sentences, paragraphs, chapters and sections. Let your imagination flow as you write, and enjoy every moment. Then you can work on the storyline structure, dialogue and refining the characters. Set your goals and celebrate every milestone that you achieve.

• Would you share something about yourself that your readers don’t know (yet)?

I love rock music and am a big fan of “The Strokes” (The Strokes). I always go and see them in concert when they come to London.

A visionary science fiction novel with masterful twists and turns

The story opens with the Earth on the brink of collapse. In the not-so-distant future, the world’s resources are running thin, and the planet is becoming uninhabitable. To make matters worse, the Rom Ghenshar, a vengeful alien race has returned to Earth to deplete the remainder of humanity’s resources and replace human beings with more advanced replicas. Rothwen, a headstrong and ruthless alien soldier, develops an intense obsession with Erin, a bright young human student with a mysterious past. He decides to bring Erin into his world, changing all the invasion plans to be with her, just for his pleasure. However, once Erin is with the aliens, she discovers their immense destructive powers. Erin’s future and that of planet Earth depend on her next actions. She must search deep within herself to ward off the nefarious alien race for good and save all of humanity.

“Since I was very young, I have loved reading and writing. Fiction and adventure were my favorite subjects, and I felt very inspired by Jules Verne and Alexander Dumas, among other adventure writers,” says author Omara Williams. An award-winning, hands-on software manager, Williams’ passions and talents span many fields including nuclear and software engineering, science, astronomy and writing. With The Space Traveller’s Lover, her goal was to fulfill a lifelong dream and remind readers that it’s never too late to find greatness. “I found myself wondering, “What If..?” I believe that it is never too late when you are determined to achieve something, so I started to get back into writing. It took me five years to see my book project finished, and I hope readers find it as fascinating as I do.”

Packed full of action and suspense, this futuristic tale is as exciting as it gets. Around every corner, the book is filled with depth and commentary that all work together to flesh out this rich, cohesive universe that is as thought-provoking as it is cinematic. One of the book’s standout features is the way in which Williams writes. The prose flows in a way that is lucid, fluid, and somewhat musical. This sort of harmony is also echoed in the way that Williams balances the more technical elements of sci-fi writing with the emotive descriptions of landscapes and characters’ inner states. Her ability to handle duality with grace and intention elevates every other aspect of the book, reminding us that the world can be a very complex place — a message that lies at the center of Erin’s internal conflict.

I just finished reading this book.

The Space Traveller’s Lover is a ground-breaking work of science fiction. The story opens with the Earth on the brink of collapse. In the not-so-distant future, the world’s resources are running thin, and the planet is becoming uninhabitable. To make matters worse, the Rom Ghenshar, a vengeful alien race, has returned to Earth to deplete the remainder of humanity’s resources and replace human beings with more advanced replicas. Rothwen, a headstrong and ruthless alien soldier, develops an intense obsession with Erin, a bright young human student with a mysterious past. He decides to bring her into his world, changing all the invasion plans to be with her, just for his pleasure. However, once Erin is with the aliens, she discovers their immense destructive powers.

This book is filled with adventure, romance, an engrossing plot, unforgettable characters, gripping story overall. I was immersed in reading this for several weekends. I can bet you’re not going to leave it until you finish your last page.

I can feel the stumbling upshot of this novel after finishing it.

The language is simple and easy to understand. The characters and the plot are consummate and relatable.
If you are looking for something different and extraordinary, then go for it.

This is a fast-paced story, and it will take you through ups and downs in a manner that you won’t blink your eyes fill the End of it.

There won’t be a single moment in the novel that will fail to prove worth reading.

It will set the perfect mood if you admire reading science fiction.

Love is all it takes

Do aliens exist? If they do, where are they?

The protagonist of this book is Erin Lobart. This is a time when our beloved Earth has been deprived of its limited resources, and people are scourging for the basic amenities of life like food and water.

Erin lives on the remote island of Tinian with her parents. She was adopted when she was young, and now, with her parents and a few rescue teams, she was mobilising food and medicine for survival.

However, there was an important discovery which would really change the dynamics of their survival rate on this planet Earth.

What if you knew that the aliens have camouflaged as humans and are living amongst us?

They are not here for a visit but are set for destruction and revenge.

As Erin and her friend Sam discover this, they somehow want to stop this apocalypse. Meanwhile, Erin falls in love.

What is going to happen to the fate of the Earth and our civilisation?

Can love save them from further destruction, or will it be the end of it?

This is a fantastic sci-fi novel I have read in recent times. The plot is gripping, and the characterisation is well-rounded.

The author rightly articulated her views about the current state of Earth we find ourselves in and gave us a futuristic glimpse of what is bound to happen if we are not in touch with this grim reality and embrace sustainable living.

I loved the Alien element in this book; it is surely a treat for fiction lovers!
