The World of Holt’s Almanac

This one contains a bit of a spoiler, so I don’t recommend reading this first if you prefer to find out everything through the book.

The world of Holt’s Almanac is one of fantasy and lore passed down from many North American cultures. When the plot begins to resolve, the genre shifts suddenly to more of a sci-fi vibe with the knowledge of what is actually going on around Holt. Up until that point, the audience is intended to question Holt’s sanity, with all of his idiosyncrasies and experiences.

This world is introduced from the start of the book, but isn’t quite explained until the end. When I started writing, I did not intend to stop Holt’s Almanac where it ends now—in fact I had another 200 pages listed than what the page count reflects now. The sequel is in the works, and I am honestly much more excited to write about the years after the “freeze” as it’s called, than I am to currently market Holt’s Almanac.

The concept of life existing outside of the dimensions that we are familiar with, is something that has confused and fascinated me since elementary school. After years of research and can confidently say that I don’t know much more than when I started, but my fascination has only grown. I think the premise that these folklore legends could exist in another dimension is an interesting twist on the question of why there isn’t a lot of 3rd dimensional evidence for them. I personally believe in God, and that he does not exist on the same terms humans do, possibly spanning all conceivable dimensions, or outright defying them, considering all laws of science and universal structure could be created by him. Obviously this is difficult to back up currently, but fun to speculate. The science behind religion is something I would love to talk about more with those who are interested, so feel free to reach out to me on social media or email.
