Marjorie Roden Author Reading - Preflight Launch: The Missing Chapters

Preflight Launch: The Missing Chapters is a science fiction novel based mostly in Saskatchewan. Taking place in the 2200's, it shows a dystopian future where anyone who uses older technology and traditional knowledge is seen as rebellious. Although the characters were created as part of a web series made in 2013 through to 2016, one does not need to have watched the series to appreciate the book, as very little of any of the webisodes appears in the book.

Marjorie D.L. Roden is a proud woman of Norwegian, English, Irish, Scottish, and Cree ancestry. She grew up near Prince Albert, Saskatchewan and loves to do varied forms of artwork, including but not limited to writing, painting (such as the cover of this, her first novel), drawing, performing, and designing clothing. She’s also a farmer, who loves nature and preservation of the natural elements. Her mother Diana was also creative, allowing her the unusual freedom of exploring as many forms of artwork from the time she was able to pick up a pencil or paintbrush. Thanks to the influences made by her mother to value education, Marjorie has earned her Bachelor of Education Degree in Physical Geography and Visual Arts (Usask 1998), Certificate in Media Arts Production at SIAST Woodland Campus (Prince Albert, 2007), and certifications through the National Screen Institute of Canada in Winnipeg (2008) & Acting for Film and Television (Academy of Business, Winnipeg, 2009), and her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Theatre and Film Studies (U Manitoba,2018). The final wish her mother made was for Marjorie to complete her Master of Fine Arts in Film & Television production, which is exactly what Marjorie shall be completing in the months following this book’s release.
