FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Aug. 1, 2014 - PRLog -- Arkansas Author Releases New Young Adult Science Fiction Dystopian Novel – I Town

Arkansas author, Timothy Koch is pleased to announce the release of his YA sci-fi/dystopian novel, I Town.

Shevi and Jackson are sixteen and live at opposite ends of a rapidly expanding social rift in a place where body weight determines social status and success. I Town produces electricity, not with steam or water or wind but with the renewable resource of human effort, people walking on treadwheels. Body weight is a vital commodity. Shevi is a big girl betrothed into one of the largest Ironclad families in I Town. Jackson is a skinny kid, a diminutive or Dim, whose only hope other than scavenging a living from crime is peddling heavy old novels to the wheel walkers. Both have good reason to ignore the attraction they feel for one another. But the attraction is there and it grows stronger each time they meet, threatening everyone from Shevi’s future in-laws to Mr. Myrtle, a little man determined to champion the status quo by keeping Dims in their place.

I Town is available in both print and ebook format.
