Produktbeschreibung
A Novel About Real Love and a Fake Pandemic Summer 2020. The first lockdown has ended in the small Canadian town of Moosehead. Twenty-four-year-old Vincent McKnight emerges from three months of stay-at-home orders into a surreal new normal of multi-coloured face masks, acrid hand sanitizers, and germaphobic neighbours standing six feet apart. The new normal becomes even stranger when Vince's Indigenous grandfather sends him to buy a loaf of bread from the town's new baker. Stefanie Müller speaks five languages, has beautiful blue eyes... and is a certified conspiracy theorist. She believes the pandemic is a hoax to justify totalitarian "public health" measures. But when the local cop pulls out his taser, Stefanie's dystopian premonitions no longer seem so theoretical. And when the restrictions threaten Granddad's life, Vince finds himself going face-to-mask with the emerging police state-forced to choose whether to follow senseless rules or to follow his pounding heart.
Autorenporträt
John C. A. Manley has been writing speculative fiction since he was nine years old. In 2001, he married, moved out of Toronto into a small town, and began work as a freelance ghostwriter and copywriter; while penning short stories and collecting rejection slips from publishers. In 2018, he began writing his first full-length novel, an urban fantasy set in Stratford, Ontario; but when the first lockdown began in 2020, he put down that project to pen a short dystopian story about where he saw these so-called "public health" measures going. That short story grew into the full-length novel, Much Ado About Corona. John is currently working on the sequel, Brave New Normal, while living in Stratford Ontario, with his wife Nicole, and son Jonah.
