I'm very excited to announce that Nessa: A Breeders Story will release Tuesday, February 5th. The genesis of this story began when I polled readers in December and asked which character they'd like to see more of. Surprisingly, many of you said Nessa Vandewater, Clay's mother and surprise twist at the end of book one. From there, Nessa's story grew and I have to say I am pleased with how it turned out. I hope you'll like it too and it will tide you over as I pound out Breeders 2. The novelette will only be 99 cents, so it will be affordable to die hard fans and new readers alike. Here's the pitch to wet your whistle.
Eighteen-year-old Nessa knows what it’s like to be an endangered species. Grown up in a dying world where nine out of ten babies are born male, she survives by trusting no one. When Marlin, the nineteen-year-old gunslinger with the sky-blue eyes, kills the man who has been keeping her enslaved, Nessa decides this handsome stranger might be her meal ticket. What she doesn’t realize is love is still possible, even in their decimated world. When Nessa discovers she’s pregnant with Marlin’s child, her difficult life now teeters on a knife’s edge. Can she bear to bring a child into their shattered world? Better yet, can Marlin keep them safe from those that hunt Nessa?
A companion story to The Breeders, this prequel novelette (34 pages or 10,000 words) explores the origins of two important characters and gives a deeper look into their background. It contains minor spoilers to the novel and is intended for mature teens and adults.
