Shipwreck of the Singular: Rescued

February 1, 2021 by David Healy 1 Comment

by David Healy

Shipwreck of the Singular took more time to write than all my other books combined. The others tumbled out – often in just a few weeks.

Unpublishable?

Pharmageddon took 3 weeks. But it then took 4 years to find a publisher. I took on an agent to help get a publisher. Faced with Shipwreck, the same agent said it would never be published. She didn’t know why. She didn’t want to waste her time finding out. This made it clear to me the publishing world was changing just like everything else was.  It led to Samizdat, which is part and parcel of Shipwreck.

It’s the forgotten, the disenfranchised who might buy into ‘Rescue’. Those who control our health, economic and publishing systems won’t.
