Introduce Yourself : Making progress by Woodrow Wilkins

Greetings. I have one published novel with always something in progress. I'm working on the third draft of a novella, the first in a five-part series, and I've completed one draft of a screenplay adaptation. The title: "Breakdown on 45." It's set mostly on a college campus in a small, midwestern town. This is one of four locations where Synths get their first experience interacting with humans. What if you took those sex androids a step further, so that they're not only conversational but also contribute to society by having jobs or, possibly, entering military service? But not being human, they have no rights. In the first installment, freshman Lisa falls for a Synth, Jill, but doesn't want anyone - not even her best friend - to know because she's still haunted by a mistake she made years earlier. Politics and social issues are part of the backdrop.
