Featured Interview With Noam Josephides
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
After a service as an Air Force Captain, I joined film school where I majored in screenwriting and directing, and went on to create films that have won multiple Internationsl awards.
I also founded four technology startups in the media and movie industry.
I try to manage writing while juggling a job, 3 kids, a loving wife and an exceptionally cuddly dog named Luna.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Writing has been part of my life ever since I tried to start my great adventure novel at 9 years old. That project ended after 8 pencil-scrribbled pages, but I didn’t give up!
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My all-time favorite book is Shibumi, written by the mysterious thriller writer Trevanian.
My Scifi genre master would be Heinlin, and especially “Time Enough for Love”
Tell us a little about your latest book?
“Generations” is a soft scifi noir mystery (as in: it’s set on a generation-ship travelling through space, but there are no aliens or space battles in my world – it’s just where humans live now. Think “Silo” in space…)
Publisher Weekly’s BookLife described it as “An epic Science Fiction political noir!”
Here is the official blurb:
FROM AWARD-WINNING SCREENWRITER AND DIRECTOR NOAM JOSEPHIDES, COMES THE 2024 AWARD-WINNING NOVEL ‘GENERATIONS’ – A HEART-POUNDING ROLLERCOASTER OF CONSPIRACY, LOVE, TREACHERY AND REDEMPTION ABOARD THE GENERATION-SHIP ‘THETIS’.
“Thought-provoking, innovative and brimming with emotional depth!” – SciFi Book Review
For eight generations, the Thetis has been a peaceful haven, carrying the last remnants of humanity on a journey to resettle on a new planet. Nearing its final destination, Thetis is seemingly a Utopia: egalitarian, tolerant and united. A society ready for a new beginning.
But when a strange extortion attempt targets the ship’s leader, that idyllic façade begins to crack. And when SANDRINE LIET, the introvert Archivist tasked with investigating the case starts poking around – the prime suspect mysteriously disappears.
Nobody disappears on the Thetis.
Sandrine is pulled into a web of intrigue and deception, sending her on a direct collision course with the most powerful people on the Thetis – and with her own values. Every step she takes, her suspicions of a grand and far-reaching conspiracy grow – as are the personal consequences for her future if she keeps pursuing the investigation.
To uncover the truth, Sandrine will have to confront the specters of her past, gather unusual allies and embark on a journey to the very origin of the Thetis.
GENERATIONS is a masterful tale of mystery, intrigue and personal sacrifice where long-buried secrets, betrayals and shifting loyalties intertwine. It is the story of the indomitable will of a woman who refuses to bow down to tyranny, and of the enduring power of truth in a world built on lies.
Praise for “Generations”:
“Like the best Science Fiction classics, Generations reminds us that the future is a canvas of our making, and with it – our definition of being Human.” – Reader Review
“Generations’ message hits hard, while being a fun and engaging rollercoaster.” – SciFi Book Review
