Book: Capitol In Crisis

Author: Kathy Roy Johnson

Language: English

Rating: 5/5

“Capitol in Crisis” is a riveting story written by the author Kathy Roy Johnson. Story revolves around the US Capitol that has the sub-basement. Fred Rafferty and Billy Drexler were installing electrical connections to support cogeneration allowing more efficient use of power and steam to heat and cool the Capitol. Billy is quite new to the installation. He pressed the main switch and as system wasn’t ready to handle high voltage, there was an explosion. The connecting tunnel that connects the Capitol to both the House and the Senate collapsed.

There are few survivors like Father Dan, Addie Hutchinson (who runs a shop in the US Capitol), Jim Stenson (Legislative Director for Blind Citizens United) , etc. Simone Perez is the newly-appointed Architect of the Capitol. She has to access the situation and develop a plan to rescue the survivors. She also has another difficult job i.e. briefing the press. Will Simone be able to rescue the survivors who want to go to their families soon?

Grab a copy of this page turner. Storyline is interesting and Kathy’s writing style is nice. Cover of the book is eye catchy. Title of the book couldn’t have been more appropriate. It attracted me in the first look. Story has so many characters introduced one by one but they are related to each other or the Capitol in some way or the other so it became easy to keep track of all the characters. Books with so many characters are not for me sometimes but the way Kathy has handled them is appreciated. I like her writing and in future I am definitely interested to read more of her work.

The Day The Fidgets Came

Interview with author Jacob Paul Patchen

Q1. Hello Sir, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.

I’m Jacob Paul Patchen, an award-winning author and poet of engaging, humorous, dark, and inspirational writings. I write with the belief that every book has a purpose.

Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘At Daddy’s Hand’ book?

It was challenging to write a book that puts a stabbing spotlight on sexual, physical, and mental abuse. Finding a jagged balance between in-your-face honesty and repulsive, horrible details was particularly challenging.

Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?

I don’t read that often, myself. Weird, I know. But, I enjoy smart and engaging thrillers and suspense.

Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?

I think maybe my grandparents’ land where I grew up and romped around like a wild thing.

Q5. Is there lots to do before you drive in and start writing a book?

Typically, there probably “should be,” but I usually do more thinking than anything before I start. Often, I will jot down some character traits and a rough outline, and then let the story go and tell itself.

Q6. How long did it take you to write ‘Family (Words That Matters)’ book?

Words That Matter is a 10 book children’s series. I wrote a story a day and had it finished in 2 weeks. (It might have been the case of Redbull I drank.)

Q7. On what all platforms readers can find your books to buy?

Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Audible are the easiest.

Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the cover and the title of your books?

My titles usually come within the first few minutes of developing the idea, and sometimes the idea starts with a title. As for the covers, lots of thinking and searching for photos that represent the themes of the book.

Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

I write several genres. So, it’s easy to mix things up if I get bored with one. But I think my writing style typically has a natural ability to keep things fresh with humor and varying creative ideas.

Q10. Are there any secrets from the book (that aren’t in the blurb), you can share with your readers?

For my book, AT DADDY’S HANDS, the character chapters are actually therapy sessions with the school therapist, Mike.
