Interview with Aaron T Knight

Interviewer: I suppose you have been writing for a long time. When did you start work on your first novel ?

Aaron : I didn’t exactly choose to be a writer. My creator was making a routine inspection and HE saw me flopping and floundering around with no hope of being worth anything. HE decided the only thing he could do was to make me a writer.

Interviewer: It’s hard to believe you Mr. Knight. Do you have any proof to back up your claim that HE made you a writer ?

Aaron: Well, you know how writers are always broke. As soon as HE transformed me into a writer I became penniless. I used to have some money but now I’m busted.

Interviewer: I’m not truly convinced Mr. Knight.

Aaron: You know how writers use all kinds of metaphors, analogies and dramatic descriptions. Now that I am a writer I can’t say “the man took a walk to the river.” It has to be like “struggling against the wind that was howling like a wolf, the strong man with rippling muscles, made his way down to the storm tossed river which looked alive like a writhing creature in the agony of its final death throes.” See what I mean ? Do you want more proof ?

Interwiewer: No, that’s quite enough.

“Fred” by Aaron Knight will make you smile. It is a funny book. Astro Robo Servant, Inc. has created the perfect six-armed robot that will clean your house, entertain you, cook for you and have a personality that matches your own. The robots cost thousands of dollars but they are designed to suit the wants and desires of each elite customer. These robots are a dream come true – that is until “Fred”. An angry employee has tinkered with “Fred” and programmed him to be antisocial and very shrewd. Sam Bass, aka SB, the founder of Astro Robo, is furious when he discovers that “Fred” is loose somewhere in New York City. SB sends Stanley, his not too favorite son-in-law/unsuccessful salesman to locate and unprogram the rebellious robot. Stanley’s wife, John and some Russian programmers also join in the escapades of locating “Fred”. The adventure that ensues will make you cheer on ‘Poor Stanley’ and laugh at ‘Crazy Fred’. Fred manages to escape each time his capture is near by disguising himself in costumes of Groucho Marx, an old-time gangster and Santa Claus that he has cleverly stolen.

Aaron Knight will put your imagination into high gear with this book. “Fred” offers the reader humor, romance, suspense and a lot of originality. “Fred” is a great book for all ages and all who enjoy a very funny look into the future world of living with robots. I really enjoyed reading this book and was sorry to turn the last page. It is a winner.
