Character Confessions- The Chimera Project by A.P. Taber #YASciFi #SpaceOpera


It’s not common for a character to “vent” about their creator, but today, the stars are aligned just right and we have Neo spilling the tea on the mysterious A.P. Taber, and some insider secrets that you will not find in “The Chimera Project.”

Neo: “All right, where do I even start? A.P., if you are reading this, know that it’s all in good fun…mostly. First, that time you left me stranded on that creepy asteroid with a malfunctioning jetpack? Not cool. I get you were going for character development, but did it have to be so terrifying?”

“But let’s rewind a tad. Readers, did A.P. ever tell you about my early days, before Ryser Academy? I grew up on Mars, sure, but there’s a chunk of my life that didn’t make it to “The Chimera Project.” Mars wasn’t just red deserts and space domes.”

“When I was younger, before the events leading up to “The Chimera Project” I used to spend my days in the Green Zone of Mars—a botanical wonderland. My mom, Mariyah, would take me there. I used to stroll through the fields of Martian Bluebells, a flower as blue as Earth’s sky. It’s where I developed my love for flowers and plants. It was my sanctuary, my escape. It was during one of these trips that I first discovered my empathic abilities. I felt the energy of every plant around me, a pulsating rhythm of existence.”

“Now why did A.P. decide to leave this out? Only she knows. Maybe to focus on the bigger picture, and the amazing space adventures.”

“As for my relationship with A.P.? Well, it’s complicated. We’ve had our share of disagreements. I’ve questioned every twist and turn, but in the end, I think it was for the better. It has made me who I am. Stronger and wiser.”

So there you have it, folks! A huge thanks to author A.P. Taber for letting Neo take center stage today.

About the Author:

Meet A.P. Taber, the ever-busy soul balancing life as a teacher, nurse, mother, and artist. When she’s not saving lives or shaping young adults’ minds, she’s venturing into other realms through her writing. She’s busier than a Trekker at a Star Trek convention! Her first novel was penned at age 10, and she’s been hooked on books ever since. (No intervention needed, she promises!)

A.P. lives in Nevada with her family. She’s known to cast spells with her words, summon creatures with her art, and maybe—win a game of Magic: The Gathering now and then.

When she’s not teaching, healing the sick, or dreaming up other realms, you can find her traveling to exotic lands or locked in an intense game of D&D, MTG, or any other board game that requires a strategy guide thicker than a triple-decker sandwich. And if she’s not there? Check the couch, where she’s likely petting her adorable cats.

A.P. writes with a focus on exploring the psychological and sociopolitical aspects of futuristic settings and the intersection of future tech, sociopolitics, and complex inter-species relationships. Her work delves into the intricacies of human (and non-human) relationships in a universe where the stakes are as high as they are diverse.
