North Carolina Author Jon Batson Writes "Research Triangle" During NaNoWriMo Contest
"Research Triangle", a fact-based fiction conspiracy thriller by Jon Batson was written during National Novel Writing Month-NaNoWriMo. The challenge–write a 50,000-word novel, from scratch in November.
Raleigh, NC, December 07, 2009 --(PR.com)-- While some writers find writing a daunting task, Jon Batson has been pen to paper for over 4 decades. From lyrics to full blown produced musicals, flash fiction to sagas, Batson is a storyteller at heart.
"Research Triangle" is a 53,000-word fact-based fiction conspiracy thriller written during National Novel Writing Month in November. The novel follows the exploits of Jack Richmond, the investigator in "Deadly Research" and editor of the Hillsborough, NC underground newsletter "Look Both Ways!" as he uncovers the connection between Big Pharma, education and school violence and what happens to him when he does.
“When truth is stranger and more terrifying than fiction, I believe communicating the truth through the genre of fiction will hopefully cause readers to start questioning what is really going on and why.” said Batson. “Both novels 'Deadly Research' and 'Research Triangle' are based in fact with twists and turns along the way to keep the reader engaged in the story.”
National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30. The Only thing that matters in NaNoWriMo is output. A global endeavor, participants exchange advice and writing tips on the NaNoWriMo website and in real life, with group write-ins held in coffee shops, living rooms, and libraries around the world.
Batson’s "Deadly Research" was completed during NaNoWriMo in November, 2008 and is available at bookstores and online. The sequel, "Research Triangle" will be available Spring, 2010.
