Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

In this post-apocalyptic, dystopian thriller, Crazy Hawk, set 100 years into the future, author R.J. Stewart makes an explosive debut as a novelist. He is not new to writing, however. His 22-year Hollywood writing career, punctuated by his work for the ground-breaking television show, Xena: Princess Warrior, includes collaborating with multi-generational talent such as Kevin Costner, James Garner, Charlie Sheen and Pierce Brosnan. “After two decades writing in Hollywood, I took two decades off,” says Stewart. “But even as the world has changed over time, the qualities and virtues that inspire us, particularly resiliency, have not changed and I think my novel reflects that spirit.” Crazy Hawk is about a resilient and fierce woman, Deirdre, seeking to save her kidnapped sister while seeking revenge amidst a global landscape in ruin. Deirdre lives for one purpose: to get her sister back.  If she needs to kill the kidnappers, no problem. She’s good at that. Riding her one-eyed Soul Horse, Danny, she relentlessly pursues the kidnappers through an America wrecked by the Great Virus, endless civil war and a collapse of the global order called the Breakdown. She’s forced by circumstances to ally with a nomadic photographer. His gentle decency moves her to the core, but her mission leads her away from the man she’s falling in love with and toward a confrontation with the people who hold her sister. To defeat them, she’ll need the help of the powerful Nations, a league of indigenous tribes. But there’s a problem. The Nations consider Deirdre a deadly enemy. They've even given her a nickname that signifies their grudging respect for this ferocious adversary: Crazy Hawk. “America at times feels like it is at a breaking point, or at least at a moment where it is divided and tested,” notes Stewart. “I address those fears and passions when drawing the world in this book. The future is not yet determined, but for some, it can seem a dark, violent place.”

Ava is the bestselling YA author of LOVE LETTERS FROM THE DEAD; EXPOSURE is her adult fiction debut. Tracing themes of race, art, ambition, new motherhood, and grief–told through multiple perspectives and spanning decades–EXPOSURE is a powerful story about conflicting truths. Beautifully crafted and told with tender empathy, this novel is not one to miss.

In Ava's own words: "I hope this book inspires empathy; I hope it will inspire people to look at the other side of a story, see someone who is different than they are, or someone on the opposing side of an issue. While there are certainly monsters among us, I believe that most people are not black and white–that we are complex, nuanced, flawed, human."

EXPOSURE evokes deep conversation and reflection, and I think in this cultural climate, your audience would really enjoy a conversation that explores empathy for two opposing sides of a divide.
