The By-Elections and What I had written for BeyondViral - an upcoming Novel

When I was writing BeyondViral earlier this year, I put one quiet line in Emily’s head as she walked through JKIA: “during the brutal by-elections.” I thought I was exaggerating for drama. No one knew they would be this brutal.

Today, the country is watching goons stuff ballots in broad daylight, police tear-gassing voters, and bodies dropping in different places. I wasn’t exaggerating.

As I watched everything unfold online, I opened the manuscript again and added one more sentence to Emily’s thoughts: “even though the streets had already renamed the whole thing Goon-Law.” Today, the entire timeline was calling 2027 “Goon-Law” instead of general elections.
Now another line has appeared in the streets: “Lord of Violence.” And it’s not going away. It’s 21 days until the book drops on Kindle.

The novel BeyondViral comes out the week before Christmas.
