Hi everyone!

I’m really excited to announce a new publication available for FREE right now:

Indra knows adjusting to life in a new town can take time but after a month she still hasn’t settled in. The gaps in her memory and her husband’s tendency to run mysterious errands at night don’t help matters. When she believes he is being unfaithful she follows him, never expecting to find an unimaginable confrontation and a stranger who knows her better than she knows herself.

While I was working on other projects this Sci-Fi short story barged in and demanded to be written down. Being an obedient penmonkey, I complied. As is my usual, there’s a lot of action, unexpected twists, and a wily heroine with a dry sense of humor. It was a lot of fun to write and I hope you’ll enjoy it:)

Grab your FREE copy on Amazon, Smashwords, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble.

Have a great weekend and happy reading!

Book Description:

A Sci-Fi/Dystopia Short Story Series

In a not so distant future, an unprepared humanity barely managed to repel the Locusts when they invaded Earth. But the long war left its mark on mankind and the Establishment was founded to ensure it would never come so close to destruction from an alien force again. Now, decades later, the world is run by this single governing entity. Loyalty is rewarded. Disloyalty is met with corrective action.

For Ellie, the job of an analyst was simple: Evaluate her target’s patterns, make a virtual connection, garner trust, and ascertain identity and location. Falling in love with the Albatross — the Establishment’s most notorious subversive and leader of the insurgency — complicates matters. Now she’ll have to decide which to betray: her duty or her heart.

Excerpt:

Ellie realized two things when she regained consciousness: First, her head felt like someone had bashed it against a steel hull, and second, the man asleep in the chair at the foot of her bed was the Albatross.
