A man with the ambition to help them survive.
Carrie’s life is almost content when Greg Pierce shows up. She has two jobs in her newly-formed, newly-outlawed clan: growing crops to feed thirty-six people, and keeping Oliver Simmons, their local patrolman, happy. The economy crashed, the country is floundering, and Carrie Ashworth struggles to keep her siblings alive. I want my readers to believe in people and themselves. As a race, we are natural-born survivors. That people can be good, in spite of what life throws at them. That love goes on, regardless of circumstances. Is there a message in your novel you want readers to grasp?ĭefinitely! I want readers to remember that the human spirit is strong and amazing. *What a great 'what if' question! And those can lead to some stellar novels! -K.S. I also wanted to explore what kinds of things would survive if everything is taken away from a person. “What if the end of civilization as we know it doesn’t come from some huge war or catastrophe? What if it comes from the absence of one small thing: the dollar?” This question wouldn’t leave me alone and has grown into this series. Six years ago, I got stuck on a single question. What inspired you to write the series Citizens of Logan Pond?
*Oh wow, I love the premise of this series! -K.S.
The series is entitled Citizens of Logan Pond, and the books are subtitled Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit. Without meaning to, she’s caught between two men: one with the power to destroy her clan, and the other with the power to crush her will to survive. At the heart of the story is quiet, unassuming Carrie Ashworth (23) who struggles to raise her siblings after her parents’ deaths. This is the first book in a trilogy about a little band of neighbors in a small Midwest town who pull together after a global financial disaster wipes out their money, jobs, transportation, food supply, and basic way of living. Is it a stand alone book or part of a series? Thanks for having me! I’m excited to be here and share a little about my new book. Today, we have author Rebecca Belliston here to talk about her latest novel, Citizens of Logan Pond: LIFE.
