Bookshop Interview with Author D.A. Murray, Episode #265

Author D.A. Murray discusses Dominion: Ascension , the first book in her new Dominion trilogy. The story takes place about thirty years in the future, in the aftermath of a devastating war that has reshaped society into a post-apocalyptic nation now known as Dominion. The consequences of that conflict run deep—cognitive decline, widespread infertility, and a dramatic shift in the balance of power. In this world, women now hold control. At the center of the story is Dani Matthews, an investigative reporter and the daughter of a high-ranking Dominion official. As Dani digs the truth behind the government's propaganda, she uncovers unsettling secrets—about Dominion, about the war, and about her own mother. In this episode, we cover D.A.'s writing journey, the power dynamics between men and women and what happens when those dynamics are flipped, and why the heart of this story isn't technology or politics but human relationships.
