Rucker Moses’ newest middle-grade science fiction adventure, Encounter at Owl Rock, pits urban teens against unseen alien invasion in the Atlanta suburb they call home.
Rucker Moses is the writing team comprised of the Emmy-nominated duo Craig S. Phillips and Harold Hayes Jr., along with Theo Gangi, a novelist and director of the creative writing MFA program at St. Francis College.
We talk about writing as a team (both duo and trio), the fun of writing science fiction (and the conversations amongst themselves that start with arguing about movies and television), their different story-telling views on science fiction and fantasy, the inspiration for using an abandoned theme park as the centerpiece of this story, and so much more.
And yes, plans are in the works to explore related shenanigans in other cities.
Encounter at Owl Rock will be available June 3.
