Synopsis:
A new dystopian novel from the author of Jenny Pox - coming July 26.
They took everything: her family, her home, her childhood.
By the age of nineteen, Raven has spent most of her life in the sprawling slums of America, fighting as a rebel against the dictatorship. When the rebellion steals an experimental time-travel device, she travels back five decades to the year 2013. Her plan: assassinate the future dictator when he is still young and vulnerable, long before he comes to power. She must move fast to reshape history, because agents from her own time are on her trail, ready to execute her on sight.

Auhor Interview:
Do you have a favorite place to write?
I know it’s strange, but I like to write at my desktop
computer in my office. They haven’t yet
invented a portable computer on which I enjoy writing; I think it has something
to do with the keyboard. I like the keys
to clack. When I’m editing, I like to
print out a copy and take it somewhere else, like a coffee shop or a
not-very-crowded bar. Being in a
different environment helps me focus on reading the book, since I don’t have
the whirlwind of distractions that I do at home (I mentioned the toddler,
right?).
You’ve written the Jenny Pox books, which are sort
of horror/paranormal, and the Songs of Magic series, which are silly
stories about fairies. Your newest book,
Nomad, is a “time-travel dystopian.” Why don’t you settle down and pick
a genre?
I should, but I get distracted by shiny new ideas all the
time. I don’t like to confine myself to
just one kind of story. I think that if
I keep exploring the story ideas that excite me, regardless of whether they fit
what I’ve done before or whether they’re even marketable, I’m more likely to
write something unique for readers to enjoy.
Why did you decide to write Nomad?
At first, I was testing out a certain unusual idea about
time travel and what could happen if you create a paradox. As I began writing the story, I grew very
interested in the main character. She
grew up in a destroyed, war-torn future America, and I was interested in how
such a hard childhood among rubble and ruins had shaped her. She had to scavenge to survive. When she travels back to 2013, she’s shocked
at how plentiful and cheap everything is.
She’s driven by her mission, but under all her scars, she has a strong
heart. She’s intelligent. She’s a battle-hardened fighter. I really enjoyed writing that character.
