Sean Fitzgerald – författare

This collection of prose accelerates on the fuel of rhythmic sentences, slows to verse to let another reader in, and drives us deeper into our imaginations. Along the way, you’ll ride through snowstorms and hurricanes, drift down streams of consciousness, launch to outer space, and oscillate between dream and reality. The speaker’s conflicts are the conflicts of everyman: the monotony of living, the wavering of faith, and the pains of separations. Ultimately, the hope needed to sustain us through life’s tribulations prevails.

A Common Thread offers a collection of science-inspired contemporary tales that reside at the edge of speculation. Step inside the life of Peter, an under-employed science graduate caught up in a covert experiment, or Bella, a former scientist turned journalist investigating an illicit trade on the oceans of the world. Pursue Conor, a biologist who conceives an experiment that could change the nature of humankind forever, or in the title novella, meet Judy, an anthropologist who realises her analytical skills are not the only attribute in demand. Travel into A Common Thread, a collection of science-inspired contemporary tales where strange things happen – when you least expect them.
