EDGE Title 2010: Cinco de Mayo
EDGE: Are you more of a Santa or Scrooge?
Michael Martineck: I'm a Santa. Love buying presents, especially toys. The scent of fresh plastic is actually my favorite Christmas smell.
EDGE: Do you have anything unique or special thing you do to celebrate the holiday season?
Michael Martineck: I listen to Patrick Stewart's A Christmas Carol every year. Lots
of parties and dinners and presents, but that's just for me.
EDGE: What was the strangest Christmas/Hanukah/Yule/insert other celebration here gift you ever received?
Michael Martineck: An iron. From my mother. I ended up really appreciating it. Eventually.
EDGE: What is your favorite holiday treat (sweet or otherwise)?
Michael Martineck: Raspberry jellies from Kelly's Country Store.
Rare, delicious, terrible for your teeth!
EDGE: If a character in your book/story was celebrating Christmas how would they do it?
Michael Martineck: Most of the characters in my book would suddenly be celebrating a mixture of holidays this season. Things they never celebrated before, but suddenly couldn't live without...
=========================================================
Secrets: some feel freed having them out. Others will kill to keep them.
On May 5, in a flash of pain, every man, woman and child on the planet receives a second set of memories. A new name, a new language, a whole new life slips into their minds, along side their own.
In Chicago, a transit worker knows enough about the Aryan Brotherhood to mark him for death.
In Abu Dhabi, a playboy experiences modern day slavery.
In New York an advertising executive shares the memories of a blind railroad worker in China.
In this transparent world of instant intimacy, no one is left untouched...
