Ever the Rebel

George Donnelly Hi, I’m George Donnelly. I write science fiction series and short stories about morally and mentally strong people struggling to be free from sinister forces in dystopian futures so that you can have a thrilling emotional experience of freedom and struggle. My stories have big stakes and grand schemes.

When I was 10 my dad gave me an adult library card for the Free Library of Philadelphia. I immediately devoured the works of Asimov, Heinlein, Dick, Bradbury, McCaffrey, Niven, Pournelle and dozens of other science fiction and fantasy authors. I have also read and reread many times Hemingway, Kafka, Bukowski and Rand.

But my calling is to be a rebel. Not the violent kind - the kind that has different ideas and acts on them. Rebellion is a worthy vocation. I bring you my unique brand of rebellion now through my science fiction novels and novellas.

I think your theories, premises, and works of fiction, enjoy the success they do, because, in a certain unique way, they are beautiful. I don’t know what your influences are, if any, but whenever I read your work, it doesn’t remind me of anyone else. Perhaps it’s because being a fiction writer requires you to create a worldview of your own? – T.M., reader
