Novel Fireflies in the Shadow of the Sun by social psychologist and psychology critic Wyatt Ehrenfels delivers truth about psychology science, psychology careers, psychology departments

New York, NY --- Sources tell fireflySun.com that J. Wyatt Ehrenfels decided on a title for the stand-alone sequel to Fireflies in the Shadow of the Sun, the expose that doubles as a psychological thriller. According to unconfirmed reports, Ehrenfels settled on Polaris Drowning because he believes the title provides both an extension of and point of departure from the original. The author believes he developed significantly as a writer over the course of editing his first novel and is storyboarding a rapid-fire, 'cascading' plot that uses relentless bursts of action to deliver excitement while simultaneously building intrigue. "He is conceiving a format he has never seen before. He is paying attention not just to doing justice to testimony, like he did in Fireflies, but to innovative aspects of the medium itself." Dubbed a 'menagerie of deception,' Polaris Drowning will coordinate double-jointed storylines that bend and deflect readers. "There is a lot of misdirection. In presenting a psychological origin for the end of the world, Ehrenfels clearly decided that deception and confusion is integral and that the unraveling will not be random but will reveal the hidden foundation of what is being unraveled."

Like the original, the sequel is expected to use anecdotal testimony to present the facts surrounding the impotence, impurity, and injustice of institutionalized psychology while incorporating fictionalized elements to symbolize their broader meaning and significance. Polaris Drowning is expected to be roughly half the size of the original and is expected to stand alone, which means that readers will not be required to have read the original. A tentative list of possible chapter titles include "The Immaculate Deception," "The Mistaking of Midnight for Noon," "Internal Injuries," "Phantom Autopsy," "Anatomy of a Blind Spot," "Biolumenescence Unbound," "Ode to a Leading Expert on Dreamless Sleep," and "By the Light of Another Star." While Ehrenfels spent over a year-and-a-half writing Fireflies, he expects to complete Polaris Drowning in less than a year and hopes to fast-track it through the publication process by using the same publisher and editor.
