Hey there! Thank you, so much, for including me on your blog
today and getting the word out about IMPLANTED, the second book in The
Ascension Series!
Tell us
about your journey so far in this series.
Well, let’s see. Like many authors, this series began when a
“what if…?” idea sparked in my head, followed immediately by fast finger action
(on the keyboard). After that, came the season of endless hair-pulling with a lengthy
detour (changing of publishers and discernment of direction.) Finally, after
rounding up of the troops (aka, perfect editors and amazing cover designer), I
marched forward. Impervious re-released in the spring and now *taking large
breath and chest puffing with pride* I can finally move into the “guts” of the
story that began with IMPERVIOUS.
Guts of
the story? How so?
Let’s just say, IMPERVIOUS was the loading of the weapon…
IMPLANTED is the pulling of the trigger. (The final book will be the shot heard
‘round the world.)
Ah-ha! So
this is a trilogy!
Yes. But I let’s not get ahead of the curve. I’m going to
keep the final installment a bit of a mystery for you. What I can say about
IMPLANTED is that it will answer some questions that lingered with the reader
after IMPERVIOUS… yet it might stir up a few more.
Wow! Can’t
wait… So, tell us a little more about the author. We’ve also head that you are
a gypsy-nerd. What does that mean, exactly?
LOL! It means my life is in a constant state of flux! My
husband and I have dedicated this season of our lives to meandering about the
U.S. He’s a software nerd. I’m a book nerd. And for the past ten months, we’ve
been traveling about the contiguous United States in a one-ton dually (um,
nerd-speak for big pick-up truck) towing a very bougie trailer… glamping (aka glamour camping). We spent
most of the winter checking out the corners and crevices of sunny Florida and
right now, as we speak, we’re hunkered down in Hungry Horse, Montana! (Glacier
Park). I guess, much like my character, Fran, you could say I like to think of myself
“off the grid.” (However, I try to maintain good WIFI and cable TV… and, I’m
Accountable.)
Lastly,
two quick personals…
Do you
work in your jammies?
LOL! Well, typically it’s more like shorts and a tank. But,
every now and then, I suppose I’ve been known to keep the jammies on for the
better part of the morning.
Favorite
munchies while you work?
Blueberries! Fresh, plump and juicy! (and coffee… always
coffee at my right hand.)

Synopsis:
After a narrow
escape from the city of Impervious, Fran’s heart aches for the ones she left
behind. Will her brother ever connect the dots? And, what about Pete? Could he,
along with the remaining Rebels, have survived the Council’s violent
oppression?
As Fran
ponders the fate of her friends, an even more disturbing revelation drops into
her world—the knowledge that she, along with anyone who had lived underground
remains implanted with the sinister presence of the Council. A fate rendering
her powerless to save.
Yet one with
pure blood, untouched by the Council’s defiling, lives among them. Could he be
the new lifeline of hope? Is salvation of the city worth risking the life of
this one-and-only?

AUTHOR BIO:
I’m a book-writing, selfie-taking, latte-drinking, social
media gal. I’m living a good life on the road as a full-fledged Bedouin (Well,
except, my tent is actually a fully-equipped RV.) Me and my
partner-in-crime (Benj) tend to hunker down wherever the skies are clear and
the temps stay in the 70’s. We call ourselves Gypsy Nerds because we
aimlessly wander the U.S. with glasses perched upon our noses and faces jammed
into computer screens (for the first half the day... The second half of
the day is typically devoted to playing because we’re also somewhat immature.)
Like most authors, the characters I create are my extended family. And like most readers, when the story ends, I get a little sad. In real life, I have two handsome, hardworking, grown-up boys who know how to make their Mama proud! *Waves to Joey and Mike!*
The Ascension Series is my debut into the world of YA fiction.
I’m living what I love and loving what I live!
