Everything You Dream Is Real

by Lisa de Nikolits

Genre: Speculative Fantasy Fiction, Romance 

From the award-winning “Queen of Canadian Speculative Fiction” comes a futuristic, multigenerational love story and a gripping edge-of-your-seat thriller. Filled with a cast of loveable, unforgettable, and entirely unique characters, the novel is a fabulous, adventure-filled sequel to highly-acclaimed The Rage Room – or read it as a standalone. Mad Max: Fury Road meets a futuristic True Romance in a highly original and imaginative novel.

Eleven years after a world war destroyed the consumer-driven, plastic-based existence of 2055, a new order of players jostles for power. Streaky electricity, ravaging drought, a scarcity of food, and deadly Monarch butterflies make for an increasingly desperate situation.

Worlds collide when both Mother and Sharps’s children are kidnapped by the unstable plastic surgeon Alpha Plus and taken to The Fountain of Youth compound. There’s flowing water and beautiful people and beautiful clothes and an incongruous convent where children wear smart uniforms and are tutored by nuns. Lovely, until they discover that a subterranean sex trade funds the compound and the man who leads it is mad. Can Mother, Sharps, and the others take down Alpha Plus and his army? Or will they too become pawns in his bid for world domination?

Hilarious and at the same time poignant, Everything You Dream Is Real is a fabulous, adventure-filled sequel to highly acclaimed The Rage Room that will delight fans both new and old.

Tell us a bit about how you started writing this book.

In 2017, my husband and I went to visit my family in Australia. My sister booked a beautiful beach house in an idyllic seaside town a few hours north of Sydney and we all enjoyed a fantastic seaside holiday. That’s when I began to write what would become (well, parts of it would become) Everything You Dream is Real.

It all started when I wandered off for a walk while my family were out paddle boarding, and (and I kid you not!) I met the perfect cult leader stripping down to his birthday suit in a deserted parking lot! Of course he wasn’t really a cult leader but after chatting to him for a few minutes, the voices in my head were screaming “he’s a great character for a cult leader!” and I always listen to the voices in my head!

 And he became Axel Patterson (Alpha Plus), the cult leader in Everything You Dream is Real.

Did the ending of your novel change at all through your drafts? If so, how?

The ending didn’t change but the road to get there most certainly did! That’s the thing with me — I always know the title of the book, I always know the beginning and I always know the end. And I always ‘think’ I know the middle, but it never turns out the way I expect it to. And that’s why I find writing a book so exhausting. I start off calmly, in full control of the characters and the narrative, and then the characters step up and rewrite the script. And they don’t mess around. It’s like having a very rowdy circus in my head!

I’m very old-fashioned – I map out my novel on paper. I stick large sheets of brown paper up on the walls and then, much like those crime scene maps with pictures and linking bits of string, I keep track visually. I’ve tried Excel spreadsheets and the like but I’m an arts and crafts person so I like to glue pictures on paper and have fun that way! I stick up pictures of what I think my protagonists look like too.
