A genetically-altered clone. A college graduate. And it’s a long way to Canada…

Harper Rawls struggles to come to grips with her parents’ deaths - but it’s not going well. Accompanying her guilt and inadequacy, she’s somehow gained the attention of an anti-cloning extremist organization. Out of “respect for her father”, they now watch her every move.

Ordell Bentley, a genetically-altered clone, flees violence at the hands of the same group. Death stalks him through the nascent jungles of League City, Texas as he makes his way to his lover’s house to warn her, only to find Harper instead.

The only escape is through the mid-western desert, and Ordell has no food, no money, and no transportation. Hunted by the HPM and an unseen stalker, and plagued by a corporate-sponsored bounty that creeps steadily upward, the future is bleak…

Models and Citizens takes place in dystopian future where the climate has moved on, taking with it the jobs and dreams of the people. Models, genetically-altered clones like Ordell, work the jobs others won’t, and are hated for it, but since escape means death, most suffer in silence.

A cross between Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go and Bladerunner (based on Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep), this novel entertains from the first paragraph to the last sentence as Harper and Ordell struggle to survive in a post-climate change world. If you loved Atropos by John Lapuntich, you will enjoy this gripping thrill ride.

Models and Citizens is an action-packed rollercoaster of a novel that moves at a breakneck speed and leaves you asking for more. - Reader’s Favorite (5 - stars)

Some diseases are still fatal, even in 2201. An experimental treatment might save Bodhi, but at what cost?

Bodhi Rawls already knows that normal life is out of the question — his mother fled arrest for grand theft human. And his mother’s best friends are genetically altered clones. Oh, and he suffers from a blood disorder that will kill him before his sixteenth birthday.

Christine Hamilton relives the same day over and over in her coma — the day her parents died in a fatal car crash. Meanwhile, her grandfather schemes to save the last heir to the Hamilton family empire. His desperation yields a treatment that will save her life, but cost anothers.

Bodhi’s only chance at survival is to willingly take the life of another, a high price that he suffers to pay. His sole kindred spirit, the only other survivor of the procedure, is destined for greatness, and she knows it. The world’s first two immortals circle each other in a merciless orbit of love, murder, and betrayal.

Bodhi Rising takes place in the same dystopian future as Models and Citizens where the climate has moved on, taking with it the jobs and dreams of the people. Models, genetically-altered clones like work the jobs others won’t, and are hated for it. Once, only escape bore a death penalty. Now? No model is immune in this thrill-packed continuation of the Models and Citizens saga!

A splash of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow mixed in with a hint of Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, this novel captures you in the first sentence as Bodhi struggles with his disease, and never lets you go until the end when the sad yet hopeful tale bolts its way toward completion.

Is the struggle called “life or death” when you don’t even know if you’re real?

Lincoln Montague’s mother was murdered but nobody will listen. It’s been two years, and even the Sheriff believes that her mother committed suicide. Lincoln’s quest for the truth disrupts her life and the lives of everyone else in small-town Lothania, where townspeople would much rather forget the secrets Lincoln’s investigation threatens to expose.

When Lincoln finally discovers the truth about her home, she also affirms what she’d always suspected: she has no place in it. Should she stay? Should she go? Her future hinges on the answer to one simple question: what really happened that night when her mother, Aida, hung herself from their rafters?

~

Aida Lothian’s personality “quirks” keep her isolated and alone. The only thing she’s good at is technology. But she’s really good. In fact, she’s so good that terrorist Jordan Helm seeks her out to build an escape kit and help him disappear. He says he’s giving up the trade, but Aida suspects he may be orchestrating his grand finale.

Is she strong enough to stop him? And if she does, then what? Aida has always known she would never live a normal life, but she never suspected what she would one day become Libera, the goddess of worlds.

Libera, Goddess of Worlds is a cross between Lawnmower Man by Stephen King and The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K.Jeminson, this novel is a tale of love, betrayal, virtual reality, and the wrath of goddesses.
