The Space Traveller’s Lover – Review by Ethan King, Crown Books NYC

Omara Williams did an excellent job of introducing readers to her world. It is not a standard fiction book with a predictable plot. The author did an AMAZING job with the beginning, transporting readers to a realm that no one has ever imagined! It was a difficult choice for all of us because it led us to the conclusion of subjectively questioning ourselves, such as if we should save ourselves or the one we love. The way she sets out the dilemma at the start of the book tells readers how to make sensible decisions.

This is a topnotch book that even a bestselling author would purchase. Let’s give this debut a way and a road to success! The book will surely captivate the gen-z, millennials, and young at heart for it shows how to make the right decision in life and never get blinded as what love can do at the early stages of life.

Now pick it up and start reading because I’ve heard the author is working on the sequel. Yes, you read that correctly. It’s a collection.

The Space Traveller’s Lover – Review by Nancy Jacob

The first three words that come to my mind when I read the book title are science fiction, dystopia, and romance. Undoubtedly, a sense of adventure creeps in while I navigate the synopsis and look at that enticing cover design. The story is set in the last years of the twenty-first century. It is bad news, and the picture is very grim. Bearing the brunt of droughts, floods, and severe weather conditions, planet Earth has run out of resources. Civilization is almost on the brink of extinction; this scenario paints a typical dystopian narrative. Matters are getting out of hand.

It is in extreme situations where a story shines. Erin lives on a remote island and does her best to contribute to the betterment of society. She and her adoptive parents partner with rescue teams to provide aid and look after the distressed. A big surprise lies in wait for her. The presence of elements of space travel and an alien entity is made clear from the book title. How this is incorporated into the narrative has rarely been done before. We are talking about aliens roaming on earth taking the human form in the guise of clones. Now, that is exciting!

There is a hidden message that gives the reader a chance to understand the repercussions of what exploiting nature’s resources could lead to. Stories such as these play a crucial role in raising awareness. It calls to action the need to take measures to mitigate the damage already done and prevent it from snowballing into a disaster as painted in this story. In this war of resources, the author also hints at the involvement of technology. Are we, as a race, so intent on innovation that we forget to take care of the planet that gave us life?

The Space Traveller’s Lover – Reviews by Books for Badal

The Space Traveller’s Lover: The book which I’m going to suggest you folks today is an exceptionally captivating and extremely fascinating book.

The substance of this book will make you go for this book and you can not move past this anyplace soon.

The storytelling is captivating. It is the end of the twenty-first 100 years. Dry spells and floods have left Earth near the edge of breakdown, with restricted assets and tenable land. Erin Lobart, a splendid youthful understudy, living on the far off island of Tinian with her new parents, is joining forces with salvage groups to convey food and medication that is scarcely keeping civilisation above water.

On her sixteenth birthday celebration, Erin and her dearest companion, Sam, make a frightening disclosure. A long time back, an extraterrestrial society was driven from Earth by ancient people. Presently they have gotten back to Earth utilising ideal human copies to comprehend and control the human psyche. More grounded, strong, unfading, and with a specialised predominance incomprehensible, the Rom-Ghenshar are fuelled by a zing for vengeance while looting Earth’s leftover assets. As Erin understands her life is definitely connected to the outsiders and that she is Earth’s just opportunity for endurance, she battles to choose where her faithfulness lies. In any case, as she is going to learn, just her newly discovered love can decide her fate and that of humankind.

Everyone can read this book; the stories will definitely interest the young readers and the avid readers. The characters will leave a long-lasting impression on your head. You’ll enjoy the backdrop.

THIS IS A MUST-READ.

Written very carefully, this book is something that will be a delight to read, and I absolutely recommend you to read it. This book is definitely worth the purchase and worth the read.

The Space Traveller’s Lover – Second Interview

Q. AT WHAT POINT DO YOU THINK SOMEONE SHOULD CALL THEMSELVES A WRITER?

The moment you finish your first story or article, however short, you can call yourself a writer.

Q. WHAT DIFFERENCE DO YOU SEE BETWEEN A WRITER AND AN AUTHOR?

An author is a published writer conveying his ideas and stories. A writer writes not only about his opinion but also describes facts and relates news stories.

Q. HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED WRITING UNDER A PSEUDONYM, AND WHY OR WHY NOT?

I have never considered writing under a pseudonym. I have no reason for it.

Q. WHAT DO THE WORDS “WRITER’S BLOCK” MEAN TO YOU?

Writer’s block is like ending on a cul-de-sac in the journey of your thoughts. The ideas stop flowing, and you can’t make progress in your story. The way to avoid it is to write whatever comes to your mind, even if it doesn’t make much sense at that point. The more you write, the more you unblock your thoughts.

Q. HOW DO YOU PROCESS AND DEAL WITH NEGATIVE BOOK REVIEWS?

Every person that gives a review is their opinion that doesn’t necessarily coincide with everyone else. From a negative review, I take what I can improve.

The Space Traveller’s Lover – First Interview

I talk to JJ Barnes, from The Table Read, about my writing career, and what inspired me to write my sci-fi romance, The Space Traveller’s Lover.

Author Interview – Omara Williams – The Space Traveller’s Lover (thetableread.co.uk)

More than thirty years after that first book, 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.

Writing a book in English was an amazing challenge for me, plus I had to do it while working full-time.

It has taken me five years to see my book project finished, and I hope readers find it as fascinating as I do.

About how Rothwen and Shaillah fall in love

Erin smiles as she looks back at Rothwen, relieved that, at last, their destination is within reach. Still, his hot-blooded yearning gaze pierces like
a dagger right through her heart. The charged air sparkles as they keep staring at each other in an alluring hypnotising spell.
“Can I kiss you?” he whispers.
Her eyes glaze with uncontrolled desire as their lips are drawn to each other, fusing their bodies in a long-awaited kiss.
“I never felt like this before.” She gasps through a short pause, her pupils darting back and forth, longing for more.
“Me neither,” he admits.
“Rothwen, it feels like we’re meant to be together.”

The Space Traveller’s Lover Main Plot

Ten thousand years ago, an alien race was driven from Earth by ancient humans. They have returned to Earth using perfect human replicas to understand and eventually control the human mind. Stronger, invincible, immortal, and with a technical superiority beyond comprehension, the aliens are fuelled by a zest for revenge while plundering Earth’s remaining resources.

The aliens have remodelled themselves into a genetically superior race and removed any feelings or emotions they consider a weakness. They don’t feel fear, guilt or remorse, and most importantly, they never fall in love.

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.

Once Rothwen has Erin with him, he unleashes a devastating attack on planet Earth while Erin struggles to help the humans. Her efforts seem doomed to failure, but eventually, she can reach out to the soldier’s bleak soul and does the unthinkable to try to change him against all the odds.

About “The Space Traveller’s Lover” Characters

What were your biggest challenges with writing the book?

One of my biggest challenges was writing in English since it is not my first language. Although having lived in the UK for thirty years, all my thoughts are in English.

I had so many characters and subplots that it was challenging to organise the whole book. So I had to draw out the scenes and the character’s physiques and make a wall chart where I could place carton cards containing a summary of each chapter to set up a storyboard from the initial, middle and final scenes.

Many themes can be invented and explored in the specific case of alien romance: unrequited love, impossible love, and fatal attraction. Once aliens meet humans, their different origins can play a decisive part in a unique plot that could not possibly happen had the lovers been just humans.
In my book, I wanted to explore impossible love.
The characters in the book are unique to the story and are inspired by it.

Who or what inspired you when creating your Protagonist?

Many themes can be invented and explored in the specific case of alien romance: unrequited love, impossible love, and fatal attraction. Once aliens meet humans, their different origins can play a decisive part in a unique plot that could not possibly happen had the lovers been just humans.

In my book, I wanted to explore impossible love.

The characters in the book are unique to the story and are inspired by it.

I created Erin Lobart, my Protagonist, to be smart, beautiful, strong and independent, inspiring strong emotions from humans and aliens alike and creating a love triangle of impossible, unrequited romance from which true, all-powerful love finally triumphs.

Who or what inspired you when creating your Antagonist?

I wanted to create an all-powerful, invincible leader that would stay in Erin’s way to save planet Earth and the humans.

Kuzhma-Or is the superbly intelligent, manipulative and ruthless Alien Supreme Commander, driven by revenge in his quest to invade and take over planet Earth.

With one piercing gaze, Kuzhma-Or could command complete submission.

He is an experienced, well-respected leader who would stop at nothing to achieve his goal. But his weakness is that he underestimates everyone around him. And Erin will find unexpected allies to confront him and ultimately fulfil her destiny.

About writing “The Space Traveller’s Lover”

When did you first WANT to write a book?

Since I was very young, I have loved reading and writing.

Every day, I spent hours imagining characters and situations and then would sit down and write for hours.

I would be inspired by anything I would see in my surroundings, and I would come up with a story just by looking at the cloud shapes. Fiction and adventure were my favourite subjects, and I felt very inspired by Jules Verne and Alexander Dumas, amongst many other adventure writers.

At 17, I finished my first handwritten book; it was 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 my efforts on my university degree and my passion for software programming and astronomy projects. Writing became something that I used to do, nothing more.

More than thirty years after that first book, 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.

Writing a book in English was an amazing challenge for me, plus I had to do it while working full-time.

It has taken me five years to see my book project finished, and I hope readers find it as fascinating as I do.

When did you take a step to start writing?

I’ve always been fascinated by science and technology and 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 sit in front of the computer and write down all these stories, whether they made sense or not. It was such a relief to see all my ideas come to life in the form of written words on a document. Then after that, I could not stop.

Then I realised that my ideas were developing into a love story set in a science-fiction background where I could let my imagination go free without limits.

I found the creation process 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.

Five years later, my book “The Space Traveller’s Lover” was published

 

How long did it take you to complete your first book from the first idea to release?

 

It took me five years to complete my book, from the first idea to 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.

Focusing on your latest release. What made you want to write this book?

 

Since I was very young, I have always wanted to write a book. I love writing, especially about a subject close to my heart, like science and technology.

Once I had so many ideas inside my head that I could possibly hold, I knew I had to write them down and develop them further, so I set out to achieve exactly that.

What were your biggest challenges with writing it?

One of my biggest challenges was writing in English since it is not my first language. Although having lived in the UK for thirty years, all my thoughts are in English.

So I had to draw out the scenes and the character’s physiques and make a wall chart where I could place carton cards containing a summary of each chapter to set up a storyboard from the initial, middle and final scenes.
