Desideratum

Review

“With a potent mix of sci-fi and fantasy, Erica Rayvon Hines takes readers on a surreal odyssey filled with suspense, mystery, and intrigue. Desideratum: Chapter 1 hooks you in from the first page and keeps you engaged until the last. This is one of those stories where the narrative focus is more on the journey than the destination. Hines has a very unorthodox writing style that may take a while for readers to get used to. But it adds to the eery atmosphere and the setting, which I found to be very immersive. I also enjoyed the dynamic between the two couples — Josh and Allison and Ron and Bam. All in all, I found this novella to be concise and very imaginative. Recommended to fans of sci-fi and fantasy”

About the Author

Growing up not knowing much about science the question “What’s your favorite subject always came to question?” Science I responded. Drawn to experiments and chemicals, each time I got sick I researched, each time I got a prescription I researched. From little words I thought I knew to big words I know I didn’t know. My vocabulary and the love of science grew and grew. Writing is my world, my voice, my research, too not knowing a word as little as nauseous too knowing the different types of biotechnology and fermentation. To poetry too novels my love for writing and research will never stop.
