Character Adam is edgier and author Andrew Allen Smith tells the story of the immortal in first person with the final fifth book in mind. “Adam” is a product of a dream, as often is the case with Smith’s books.
“He’s the first and only of his kind,” Smith said. “I tried to stay away from the stereotype of immortals. I wanted to stay on the edge of it.”
In this book, the author tackles the concept of death among many others from a different perspective.
“…here I am, cradling her in my arms. The cool breeze blowing across my face. I am looking down at a woman between life and death. I can save her, but at the cost of her being a little of me. I can watch her pass as I have seen so many pass before. The decision is mine. As I wrestle with it, the sirens scream in the background, closer and closer. Just a drop of my amazing blood will give her life, but how can I decide?”
Smith also talks about grieving during the holidays or at any time of the year in this special holiday episode.
“Don’t go through it alone,” he advises. “Be there for people who are grieving.”
Smith penned his only non-fiction book “What Not to Say to People Who are Grieving” after the tragic death of his niece in 2020.
