Known for her time as paranormal sceptic Dana Scully in "The X-Files" and praised for cinematic roles in "The House of Mirth" and "Bleak House", Gillian Anderson (pic) is now co-authoring a sci-fi series for new imprint Simon451.

The label, named in homage to Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451", is a new venture from New York publisher Simon & Schuster and puts first in the series, "A Vision of Fire", on track for October release.

She's partnered on the project by co-author Jeff Rovin, who wrote the "Tom Clancy's Op-Center" series and encouraged her to try her hand at a sci-fi story, she told Entertainment Weekly.

"I don't think I'd ever think to write something in this genre without the prodding of someone like Jeff," she said. "But I realised I had ideas hidden within me for a series and a lead character, in this case, a heroine."

It's child psychiatrist Caitlin O'Hara who takes centre stage in "A Vision of Fire", but her time with a particular girl prods her into action – "the girl's behaviour is tied to much greater forces in the universe, and as the story unfolds, [Caitlin] must prevent destruction on a grand scale."

As for her own motivations, Anderson mentioned her desire to see a strong female lead, around her own age, and believes that not only is "A Vision of Fire" something that both she and other women would like to read, but that the Saga is well-positioned for an eventual cinematic adaptation. - AFP/Relaxnews, January 16, 2014.
