GENRE:
YA Dystopian

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:
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.

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.
