Naomi Lewis started out as a goofy story I was writing when I was an undergrad. I was commuting by train to school and needed a way to occupy my time. BAM! Out she popped! Now, commuting can be a pain. And having a major that makes you stay up until all hours makes that commute complete murder. Some time during my rather sleep deprived train ride, I wondered what it would be like to have to save humanity, AND go to school... Stop looking at me like that.
I always felt there was a shortage of female action characters. It always seemed to me that no matter how strong a woman may be in a story, there is always a point where a dashing hero has to rush in and save her. Not that there is anything wrong with handsome, shirtless heroes but there is a part of me that wants to see the opposite happen. What happens to the hero when he gets into a jam? Or better yet, how would a woman handle being a bad ass? Better yet, how would a woman college student handle it? ...I said stop looking at me like that!
Naomi Lewis takes place in my favorite city by the bay, San Francisco. Why? Well, Its kinda a freaky city. If you don't believe me, spend a few hours in the Tenderloin.
I hope you enjoy!
