"This ultra-sharp, darkly satiric, hyper-speed novel is set in a world where multi-level mega malls serves as city states and everything on the outside lies in ruin. On the lower red levels, gang violence and media saturation and bio-tech designer drugs rule. During the weekend, slummers from the green levels leave their safe lives of jobs and families to partake in risky, sometimes deadly, fun on the red levels. And on every level, TV and advertisements literally penetrate the mind. Death is easy and life cheap, until that life is your own or your beloveds. Extreme stylization, great characters, and a high-level of intensity is maintained throughout. This is a whip-smart, truly violent novel that has at its core a still very human pulsing heart."

Ryan, stop fucking around with the blog and WRITE ANOTHER BOOK! Loved Technicolor Ultra Mall. Fucking loved it. Sorry to see it end. Even more sorry to see you haven’t published anything else. I just finished, will get a review up on Amazon (if that matters), found this blog in the meantime. The end.

Thanks for your kind words and, yeah, reviews always help.
It’s not the blog that slows me down. (I have written another book and am about halfway through the first draft of another.) My main goal after TCUM sold was to get an agent. Mainly, so I can withdraw from the business side as much as possible and just concentrate on the writing. I did manage to find representation that I’m happy with (also moved to America, where I’m now writing full time) so things should be picking up.
I wish I could tell you when another one of my books will be out but fucked if I know. I just keep my head down and try to get the work done.
Best,
Ryan
