Local Authors Expo 2023 Spotlight: Sophia Hansen
Sophia Hansen's unique outlook on life created Water's Break, a book about an amphibian-inhabited water-covered planet that is invaded by a technologically advanced race. What to know what happens next?
Ask Hansen in person at the Local Authors Expo at the Central Library this Saturday, November 4, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
BPL: Please introduce yourself and tell us about your book.
SH: My name is Sophia Hansen. My book Water's Break is about an amphibian-inhabited water-covered planet that is invaded and terraformed by a technologically advanced race.
SH: My what-ifs then to look at life from the perspective of the "other."
BPL: Who is your favorite author and why?
SH: Anne McCaffrey was one of the first authors to capture my imagination and take the fantasy into science fiction.
BPL: What do you hope readers get out of your book?
SH: Though we are often trapped by forces beyond our control, we are more often held captive by fear. Recognizing this is the first step toward freedom.
BPL: Any advice you would give for new authors or those desiring to become an author?
SH: Find community that encourages you where you are and challenges you to take the next steps.
Purchase your copy of Water's Break at the Local Authors Expo on Saturday, November 4, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Central Library.
