ama I'm Wil McCarthy author of ANTEDILUVIAN a sci fi novel about pre-Deluge civilizations. Ask Me Anything!

What if all of our legends are true? Engineer and serial entrepreneur Wil McCarthy, formerly of WIRED and the SyFy channel, is a multiple award nominee whose occasionally bestselling novels include New York Times Notable BLOOM, Amazon.com "Best of Y2K" THE COLLAPSIUM, and newly released ANTEDILUVIAN. He has also written for TV and video games, and holds patents in 7 countries, including 31 issued U.S. patents. ANTEDILUVIAN is a time travel book of sorts, about the fictional rediscovery of ancient civilizations that existed before the end of the Ice Age. There really was a global Flood, that wiped out sophisticated societies with roots stretching back tens of thousands of years. Rediscover it with us!

Hey I'm wondering if you can go into a little more detail about research. I'm working on a story about the first humans to step foot in California ~20,000 years ago and I'm finding scant online resources apart from the La Brea Tar Pits page lol. I guess they call it pre-history for a reason!

I have been loving the COUNT TO A TRILLION series by John C. Wright. Brilliant stuff, though admittedly not for everyone.
