Today I have a post from Joseph Wallace, the author of the new thriller, "Invasive Species". It's a scientific thriller about a newly evolved predator from the African wilderness. Before
turning to writing fiction, Wallace contributed articles with a focus on the
tropical rainforest and invasive species to many national publications,
including Sierra and Audubon. "Invasive Species" is the
result of interviews with leading scientists in the field and rooted in
scientific fact.
Hi! I’m Joe Wallace. I’m the author of two novels: the global apocalyptic
thriller Invasive Species (2013, Berkley Books), and Diamond Ruby (2010,
Touchstone), set in 1920s New York City. I’ve contributed short stories
to Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine and anthologies including Bronx
Noir, Baltimore Noir, Hard Boiled Brooklyn, and two Mystery Writers
of America collections: The Prosecution Rests and Ice Cold. I’ve
also published nonfiction books on dinosaurs, natural history, and baseball,
and written on nature, travel, and health for magazines and newspapers. I live
with my family north of New York City, where I run storytelling workshops in
the local elementary schools and work as a writing mentor for high-school students.
