Shen Hart tagged me in the “Meet My Character Blog Tour” and I’ve been sitting on this for a couple of days, trying to decide who I was going to “tag” in response. I’ve decided on Lisa (LJ) Cohen, RJ Blain, and Skye Taylor. Good luck and have fun!
1) What is the name of your character? Is she fictional or a historic person?
Johanna Rorry — otherwise known as Jorry. She is purely fictional.
2) When and where is the story set?
The story is set many, many, many years into the future. We get to go spelunking on Pluto, lay siege to a space station orbiting Neptune, and infiltrate a military base on Europa but in between all of that the characters are on board the hauler-class vessel known as the Zephyr.
3) What should we know about him?
Ahem. You mean “her.”
And you should know that when she sets her mind to something she doesn’t waver. She’s a complicated mix of soldier and mother, capable of hacking into computer systems and constantly focused on the safety of her family.
4) What is the main conflict? What messes up his her life?
Her son Devon wants to go to University, but because Jorry and her counterpart (Seach Barlow) are both deserters from the military this poses many problems. Sending Devon to school could reveal their whereabouts to the military they’ve been running from. So Jorry makes a black market deal to get Devon some security tags that won’t alert the Universe that she’s still alive and still allow him to go to school.
And … you know … things go very, very wrong.
5) What is the personal goal of the character?
She wants to see her son safe and happy.
6) Is there a working title for this novel, and can we read more about it?
The tentative title is Tapped and you can read a snippet of it on my main website ajmaguire.com. (HINT: It’s under the science fiction tab.)
7) When can we expect the book to be published?
Well, I have a rule that I send out everything to the traditional market first and if it doesn’t get any bites then I look into Indie publishing. So I’m really not sure. It could be out sometime in 2015 or it could be later.

I wondered which character you’d pick and it’s so cool to see a little bit more about Jorry. I look forward to seeing this book and well, your other books, all of them 😛
Yeah, I figured I’d better use the character I’m working with at the moment. If I’d gotten tagged next month you’d have heard all about Cal Murphy or Jared Foster from the Residual Haunting book. I’m really looking forward to serializing something again. I had too much fun with Persona.
Thank you for taking the time to read my books! I’m so glad you enjoy them.
That sounds like a really awesome concept!!
Thank you! I’ve certainly had fun writing it.
Interesting premise and character. Sounds like a good one to watch for! 🙂
Thank you so much. Jorry has been a wild ride, that’s for sure. I hope Readers are as entertained as I was writing it.
