From the Author Bieber's Finger follows the journey of a superfan who clones her pop idol, teaches him to sing and dance and takes him to an off-world venue to play the ultimate gig. Here goal: revive Bieber's career and maybe experience a little teen romance along the way. Bieber's Finger is not a Bieber biography book. The character named Bieber in this novel is referenced only by his last name. Although the character is an international pop idol, the Bieber dealt with in Bieber's Finger comes with a clean slated clone with no memory of his stardom. Bieber's finger is my contribution to the growing pool of funny science fiction novels. I wrote Bieber's Finger in the spirit of Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the universe. I have been a long-time fan of funny science fiction characters such as Arthur Dent, Zaphod Beeblebrox, and,of course, Marvin the depressed robot. Why not Bieber? The science behind Bieber's Finger comes from a place of comedy rather than hard research. There are human cloning books that explore in detail the wonders of genetic engineering. Nevertheless, Bieber's Finger, as a clean funny teen romance book that I believe can confidently take its place in human cloning books fiction. With so many YA fiction books to read in the world, I felt that the young adult audience would like a good teenage romance book. Bieber's Finger is a funny romance book for young adults. Let's face it, there are so many YA fiction authors out there releasing status quo teen romance stories, I felt like the less-likely genres of cyberpunk and genetic engineering might be a perfect place to set a teenage romance comedy book.
