Interview
Video of Launch Event for Book 3, A Universe Revealed
Here's the video of the March 6, 2024 launch event at Left Bank Books in St. Louis.
A Fresh Vision of what a city can be
" If you know St. Louis, love science fiction, or love alternate universe stories, "A Universe Less Traveled" is the book for you. If you love all of those things, you will love the book even more!"
"I didn’t just want to visit his alternate St. Louis, I wanted to live there myself."
"A St. Louis I wish I could visit. A post on Reddit led me to pre-order this wonderful alternate reality tale. HD St. Louis was so vividly described I felt I was there, and I'm sorry to leave it. I highly recommend this book as a delightful and optimistic escape."
"The book can also be a traveler's guide to St. Louis and the near by Cahokia Mounds. If you are familiar with the city you'll never see it quite in the same way. It will forever become like a children's storybook with those clear overlay pages that change the picture from one reality to another. If you are visiting St. Louis for the first time you may well notice the city scenes before you take on a different landscape as you see von Schrader's alternative city superimposed on what lays before you."
"The story is grounded in the author's familiarity with St. Louis and it's his admiration for the City -its residents, history, and geography-- that is purely contagious. "
