Dear
reader …
I think
you should know that I’m an idea writer, fiction is my medium, and if you love
ideas, science both in the lab and seeing it play in history then my writing is
for you. I suppose at the heart of everything a writer writes what they want to
read most. When I read Jurassic Park, I loved the story that gripped me and
kept my attention, but when the journey was over my child mind had a deeper
understanding of genetics and my imagination went wild.
The
Martian did the same thing for me. The story of Mark Watney’s survival was
incredible, but when the story was over it was the science that kept my mind
wandering back, and playing the scenes over and over. That’s the story I try to
deliver, with characters that are complex and interesting, a plot I hope to
keep you turning pages, but when it’s over, I want your mind to keep rolling
over the ideas that make a Sky Fall Event possible, to ponder at every bit of
news thrown at you.
I think
history allows us to see ideas in a different light, so I’ve chosen not only to
write a thriller but a historical one. The concept I talk about most is that if
you talk about peer pressure than most people and book consider it an
adolescent problem unless you look at the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany. In
that specific history, people see peer pressure in a different light, a power
of influence that can ripple through anyone. As I write my stories, I always
look for that point in history that brings the ideas to the forefront, that
allows the reader to take them with greater sobriety.
I suppose
in the end I’m grateful you were curious enough to read this, to try my book. I
believe time is the single most valuable thing, and grateful you spent some of
yours on my words.
My we all
ever understand our world better, Joseph Bendoski
About the Author
Joe Bendoski studied psychology in college and was
fascinated by all the insights it provided into human behavior, only to realize
most the information never reach people, and when it did, rarely was it in a
form that allowed for practical application. He started writing non-fiction,
but soon came to understand how few people read that genre and began the
difficult transition into fiction writing. His non-fiction works include; the
Chemistry of Attraction and the Language of Emotion.
He worked as the head writer for the television show ‘Saved
by Grace.’ After being frustrated with comments like "make this scene
cheaper," "What's my motivation?", and "Do we need this
scene?" he decided to go in to literature.
His latest book is the
thriller/espionage/conspiracy/historical novel, When
the Sky Falls.

“What makes you believe a lie? I’m not asking how you know
someone is lying. What makes you believe? Because if you don’t understand how
that works, then you won’t know when you’re being manipulated.”
In 1938 the War of the Worlds hoax panicked millions of Americans, then in 1988 another fictional media broadcast convinced nearly half of Portugal that sea monsters had risen from the ocean to destroy their cities. A team of CIA agents was sent to study the aftermath of this 6th Skyfall Event in the hope that they could turn it into a weapon of war. When the team consultant turns up dead, everyone scrambles to be the last man standing: the one who will decide if or when the sky falls.
