Into Shadow

GENRE: YA Dystopian
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
She’s nineteen. The
President’s daughter. They want her dead.
Poppy’s father may be
the President of the North American Alliance, but that just makes her a target for
those wishing to topple the regime.
Barely escaping with
her life, she must travel across a country ravaged by war and climate change to
seek safety amongst a people who only recently opposed her. There she must use
every skill learned from her military upbringing to survive terrifying beasts,
deadly plant life, and lawless gangs before finally finding a group willing to
accept her.
But her peace soon
proves to be illusory. It’s not only the government that wants her dead now.

Excerpt One:
We sped through the streets, taking turns recklessly fast as
we tried to lose the bikes on our tails. As we flew around yet another corner,
one of the bikes caught up to me and slapped into the back of my bike. It
wasn’t a particularly hard collision, but it popped my bike loose from the
mag-lev rail, and I went skidding sideways across the pavement. When the base
of the bike hit the curb at the edge of the road, I was flung over the handlebars
to land in a crumpled heap on the cracked sidewalk.
All I could do was lie there, staring blankly at a weed
growing inches from my nose as I tried to catch my breath. From the corner of
my eye I saw Sharra slow and look back, trying to decide if she could help me.
Then she leaned low over the handlebars and shot off into the dark streets,
leaving me behind.
A million small aches and pains made themselves known as I
rolled slowly to my knees. I didn’t bother to get up any further than that. I
was completely surrounded, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to move fast enough to
break loose from all of these people and retrieve my downed bike. Instead, I
waited in silence to see what would happen next and watched for an opportunity
to escape.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
After writing
stories in her head for the last 30+ years, Tara finally decided to take a stab
at writing them down to share them with others.
Tara has a
husband, 4 kids, and 5 cats to care for along with a full-time job and contract
work on the side, so finding time to write is the biggest challenge. Since her
most productive hours are from 12-5 a.m. anyway, Tara usually gives up sleep in
favor of writing.
