Beyond the Walls Now on Kindle for .99 Cents!
YA Sci-fi Post Apocalyptic
Synopsis: During the year 2011, life as we once knew it went crashing down. A virus spread from country to country, consuming the world one population at a time.People died...
But most of them came back with the infection coursing through their veins.
They became cannibalistic, feasting on any and all flesh they found, human and animal alike. As the years passed, they continued to flourish without fault, killing off the majority of the government and the survivors it was trying to protect to keep humanity from being wiped off the face of the planet forever.
They were uncontrollable and couldn't be classified as part of humanity.
Now in the year 2076, October and her friends live in a place they call The Walls. It's a Government operated facility with the basic necessities humans need to survive in a Post Apocalyptic world, but it's not a happy place to be for those with the drug immunity. Someone purposely shut them out of the world beyond to keep them safe, to keep them from finding out what really happened sixty years in the past. They know only what they're told, which is never enough. They've come to realized the world is far greater than they imagined, and it's only a matter of time before they discover what's really happening beyond the walls which have kept them out of the loop since they were born.
By the way, I changed the cover photo (so keep that in mind when you check out my old posts)

Beyond the Walls soon to be published on kindle!
(For real this time lol)
Young Adult: A Post Apocalyptic, Futuristic, Romantic Novella
During the year 2011, the world came crashing down. People died... well, most of them came back, but not with the same feelings, hopes, dreams, judgments, and expressions. They became more cannibalistic. As the years passed, they continued to flourish without fault, but they were far from humanity.
Now in the year 2076, October and her friends live in a place they call The Walls, a place they've lived in since the days they were born. Someone purposely shut them out of the world to keep them safe, or so the signs, scientists, and staff workers say. They know only what they're told, which isn't much, but a few of them are different, withholding their immunities, and it's only a matter of time before they realize what's really happening around them.

I updated chapter one of the kindle edition and made the synopsis better on the Amazon selling page. Thanks for being so patient! It was hard editing my own book, but now that I have a copy in paperback form, it is much easier picking out the errors and fixing them.

First Review of 2012
__________________________
To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this book, but I figured a free copy for my prime account was worth a try. I was pleasantly surprised and became enthralled with the plot and characters, and I wanted more more more! There was never enough to detail to fill the void yet it was worth the time it took to read.
If you enjoy reading about Witches, Werewolves, Demons, and Urban Fantasy mixed with a little Paranormal Romance, this is a book you should read. The story starts out intense and only continues to grow as the main character discovers more and more about herself everyday. It includes: death, tragedies, hate, love, sex, and self discovery all wrapped up together with a Paranormal edge and a craving to find out what's going to happen next.
The main character, Rayne Valiente, has true history, a rough past. As a child, she was placed in the foster care system and thrown from family to family because of her differences. No one understood her. No one knew why she was withdrawn, stuck behind a wall she created because of what happened before she was placed. No one got that she was scared, confused, torn between reality and what she witnessed. No one cared to give her the answers she needed. As an adult, she keeps to herself because she's different. She thinks if the world knows who she is, they won't accept her, but the truth of the matter is, even she doesn't know who she is or where she came from. And because of the isolation she feels she needs to be as normal as possible, she doesn't date men, she doesn't have friends, and she works only because she has to work. Her job as a Child Protective Social Worker only reminds her of the what happened when she was a child, but she's able to confront the old nightmare and bring it to justice.
The same day she finally leaves her boogeyman in the past, she receives a letter from a strange man. He's tall, handsome, scruffy in the bad-boy sort of way, and he smells different than any man she's met before. He reminds her or something or someone she knew as a child, but she can't place what or who. And even more baffling, the letter is from her mother, the woman who died when she was only four years old; murdered by another monster from her nightmares.
The letter gives her a choice: confront her family's history or wait for it to find her. "If she stays, people will die. If she goes, she'll be hunted." Her mother fills her in on the details of her family's past. The abilities she's had since a teenager are not random; she's a Witch from a powerful bloodline of magic, and her mother's red-eyed killer is a Demon from the Unknown, a creature who will do anything and kill anyone to find her. This is her destiny, and the choice is supposedly hers, but she ends up getting sucked in a portal and spit out twenty feet from where her father and sister reside. She discovers an entire world of creatures she never noticed before yet going back to her old life doesn't seem a viable option. Guilt eats her, emotions are on a high, she falls in love and becomes obsessed with saving her new sister, boyfriend, friends, and humanity. Nothing can stop her. No one can get in her way. If she can find a way, she will do whatever it takes to win the battle against evil.
This tale is twisting and tragic, an intense story of facing your fears and making the right decisions. You find yourself in the main character's shoes, wanting more yet fearing the outcome. You never know what's going to happen next. You never know if she'll get out of the crunch she's fallen into. All you can do is hope she wins the fight before the Demon murders her new family and friends, regains his throne in the Unknown, and reigns over humanity again.
I can't wait to see what happens in the next installment!
