First Stop on the Enslavement Blog Tour
Today, I’m at We Do Write where they’re intentional about highlighting new authors. Stop by and say hello!
“Have you ever wished you could have sat down and had a chat with the great writers out there as they were writing their debut novels? Once upon a time they were merely aspiring writers trying to make it big. The thing is, there are aspiring writers now, some of whom writing future best-selling novels. It would be a missed opportunity not to get to know them now, when they’re not yet bombarded by thousands of fans vying for their attention.” -We Do Write

Loving My Cover
I wrote Enslavement, a YA sci-fi novel, over four years ago and I’m so excited that it’s finally getting published. Over that past months I’ve been working intensely with the Rebelight Publishing editors to get Enslavement whipped into shape.
Recently, I got the go-ahead to share the cover. This makes it seem so real. This. Is. Really. Happening. I was nervous to see the cover (what if I didn’t like it), but I was stunned by how much I loved it. What’s it about? Read on.
“One World. One Currency. One Bright Future.”
That’s the promise made by OneEarth Bank after a global economic collapse–but only for those who accept the insertion of a commerce chip.
When Rielle’s parents refuse to comply, government officials tear her family apart. As punishment for her parent’s crimes, Rielle is forced into a Community Service Contract–a legalized form of slavery–and sold to a wealthy, abusive banker.
The Banker’s secrets hold the key to Rielle’s freedom, but will she risk prison or even death to escape and search for her family?
Enslavement is a work of YA sci-fi/dystopian.
