Synopsis:
The residents of Impervious are the remnant, the survivors of the war of Annihilation. And though the city is chockfull of pleasures to tantalize and entertain, a beast lurks in the corners, haunting the residents with its presence. The Beast, a mysterious and terminal illness killed off most of Generations One, Two, and Three. And as Gen-Four prepares to take the stage, a provocative, yet questionable, new method to avoid an untimely death incites a cultural rage. But Fran lives counter-culture, off the grid in true rebel fashion. With a life far from opulent, she scurries through dark tunnels, searching for hot meals with Pete while ditching the holographic security team. To her, it's a healthy trade-off. Unaccountability means The Council can't steal her sliver of hope, a belief that she'll see The Epoch arrive before The Beast can pull her into its Fetid embrace.

Character Interview with Fran and Ted Monde
“Hey there, Fran. We
have an audience just dying to meet you. Say howdy!”
“Hey.”
*Waves.*
“Word around town is that you’re a
Rebel… what’s up with that?”
*Snorts.*
“Yeah, I’m a Rebel.
But, whatever. You might be too, if you had to live down here.”
“Yeah? Why?”
“Well… I suppose if you like the Council nosing around in
your business, and if you like the idea of dying without hope and the
shenanigans that go along with living like a moron, you’d be fine. But, if you
knew in your gut that there was something else and couldn’t stomach the idea of
giving up the search for whatever that something was… then, yeah, you’d be a
Rebel, too.”
“Wow. That’s a
mouthful. Apparently, you have some strong feelings about that. So tell us, Fran,
who did you bring along with you today?”
*Looks out the corner
of her eye.*
“This is my brother,
Ted. He’s one of those morons I was telling you about.”
“Woah!” *Ted joins in
with laughter.* “Settle down Wickworm!”
“Yeah. A little harsh, there, Fran. Why
‘moron’?”
“Well, let’s just say,
we used to see eye-to-eye. But, now?” *Shrugs.* “Now he looks at life through
the lens of a “Westie.”
“And Westies are bad?”
“No, not bad…” *Fran Smirks.*
“Just moronic.”
*Ted shakes his head in
silent laughter.*
So what’s your story, Ted?
“Nothing
spectacular. Unless you think rags
to riches is cool.”
“Rags to riches?”
“Yes. My wife and I
have done very well for ourselves.”
*Winks at me before
taking a sip from a water bottle.*
*Fran rolls her eyes
and huffs.*
“Hmm. Looks like there are some family issues to work out here. How
about I leave you two alone to work through those.”
*Fran holds up a peace
sign.*
*Ted grabs his sister
in a side-hug before flashing a blinding-white smile.*
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!
