Today's Featured Friday is my good friend +V.L. Jennings, who is currently touring two re-releases.
When V.L. Jennings
isn't traveling to other worlds through her imagination, she calls Dillon,
South Carolina her home. Virginia is the author of two speculative fiction
books; "Visionary From The Stars" and "The Alien Mind,"
both published by PDMI Publishing, LLC in the fall season of 2014. She has also
illustrated a children's book for PDMI, titled "Wiggle Worm's Shape
Adventures," written by Karen and Kathy Sills.
But what motivates
Virginia to create, to illustrate, to prognosticate? Virginia is a speculator,
the kind of person who always debates the "what if?" of where stories
both true and fantastical are leading themselves to, which explains her love of
post-apocalyptic fare such as "The Walking Dead." Through her
writing, she enjoys trying to figure out what our human potential is, and where
our innate desire for a better world could lead us.
Overall, Virginia
is just about as real as a person can get. Yes, even authors love to sing along
with their favorite local radio station while driving, and Virginia is no
exception to this rule. She enjoys watching Doctor Who or Star Trek with her
family over dinner, and also watching the latest sci-fi and action movies with
her husband. On the weekends, you may even find Virginia and her family at the
local comic book store, hunting down more comics to add to their collections.
Virginia loves to
connect with new people, as well as hashing out story concepts and other
creative ideas on her blog, at www.virginialorijennings.com.

For millenia, humans thought they were the only life
in the galaxy-- until the day an alien species claiming to have humanity's best
interests in mind forces its way onto an unsuspecting exploration craft. In another part of space, the Star Traveler's
crew sets out on a camping trip to the surface of the moon. There, they stumble
upon an object covered in alien writing revealing the first piece of a galactic
map that will lead them into an intergalactic controversy--all while the
Platonian race strives to sabotage their every move.

Rivi may be human, but she's lived away from Earth for
more years than she lived on it—first as a prisoner of the Aruk, and then as an
adopted child of the Aunantet, where she learned to use the full potential of
her mind in a way she never could have back among humankind. Now the Aruk want
to steal her back, along with the rest of the rescued human children. Now the
skills her alien family taught her—skills rooted in the potential of her human
intelligence—must be taught to the others so that they may be set free. Will
Rivi be able to find the secret to preserving her freedom—and that of the other
children like her—somewhere between human strength and The Alien Mind? Come on
the adventure and see for yourself!

Mini Interview for Jo's Featured
Friday:
Why did you write this book?
I wrote both of these books because I love science and
science fiction. When I was in middle school it was very hard to find science
fiction in my local library. I found my sci-fi fix in television shows like
Enterprise, and movies like Star Wars. As I got older and started writing I set
out to write books that would help inspire others to reach for the stars and
explore their own hidden potentials.
Anything in particular you'd like to
share about this book or it's creation?
I am excited to announce, that after 6 years, I
finally found a publishing company that I can feel proud to be apart of. Both
books have been fully edited, with added illustrations by PDMI Publishing LLC's
illustrator Matt Ostrum, as well as fully and spectacularly reformatted! My
vision for these books has finally been realized!
What can we expect to see from you in
the future?
I have at least two projects in the works on the
writing front. However, I also illustrated Wiggle Worms Shape Adventure, a
children's book by fellow PDMI authors Karen and Kathy Sills. I heard that they
are almost done with the sequel and I can't wait to get to work illustrating
that one as well!
