In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Nova McBee discusses her latest book, Calculated, which will appeal to readers both young and old who enjoy mission-impossible-type stories. Nova blended several sources of inspiration to write this book. She was living in Asia, was reading Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo, and, due to the nature of her work at that time, Nova had attended a number of meetings regarding the issue of human trafficking. She felt inspired to start writing a story that blended these ideas, locations and issues, and Calculated was born. The story involves a math prodigy, high stakes intrigue and fast-paced action. Calculated, is the first book in the series, and the second book, Simulated, will be available in May 2021. In this episode, Nova discusses her writing journey, how challenging it was for her to write about a math prodigy when she isn’t one herself, and why, even though she was surrounded by books and writers her whole life, she never thought about writing her own stories until the age of twenty-eight.
