http://www.mirandanew.comSo my wife decided to try writing a book and make it a hobby career. This has been a dream of hers for awhile but she never thought she would be ready to do it. Well she finished her first 2 books. One is free and the other is an Indie published Ebook. The story is a young adult dystopian story that focuses on being an immigrant. My wife and I have been expats living in South Korea for over 10 years and she brings her life experience of living in a foreign culture and not knowing the language into the heart of her story and really wants to press the idea that just because someone does seem to fit in with your society doesn't mean they are incompetent...it means they are different. In their society they may have been something brilliant. Anyway here is the synopsis of the story.
They said that the world had ended and the Dome was the only way. They lied.
Amia Risk believes two things with her whole heart. One, the world ended in nuclear war about a hundred years ago. And two, the only thing protecting her from the radioactive wasteland outside is the Dome. But a chance encounter with a revolutionary leads her to believe there may be more to the Dome’s history than she previously believe.
Armed with this new knowledge, she sets out on a path that will put her at direct odds with the despotic Dome government.
But when the Dome actually comes down, she finds herself an unwanted refugee in the small Virginian town of Wytheville. Now, she must create a new life and identity for herself in a world full of dangers and technologies that she cannot understand. Most importantly, she must hide her past involvement the revolution as it is now the target of the American government. Should the Dome government find her, not only Amia, but all of the revolution will be in grave danger.
Can Amia restart her life without getting captured? Or will she be forced to fight not only the Dome but American governments to keep the revolution safe?
Find out in book 1 of the Sammy Silvertooth’s Guide to Revolution Series, The Moxy Byrd.
The book is free and if you are interested check it out. If you aren't that is OK. We are still exploring and trying to figure out the demographic for the book. She believes her voice may be stronger with a female audience, as her sci-fi is a lighter more action-y sci-fi. The book isn't a traditional Young Adult novel that has characters all aged as teenagers to fit the audience, but follows the story of various aged characters throughout the series.
Thanks for your consideration.
