Excerpt (PG)
When the glide arrived
at her stop, she stepped off with a swell of other riders. She crossed the
asphalt road, once used for gas-powered vehicles, and took a deep breath. I’m
finally home. Sliding her card to gain access to the secure building, her
heart raced in anticipation. She needed to be with Erik, find out the truth,
and reunite with the man she loved. However, her apartment door didn’t open.
“Access denied,” the
robotic female voice rang out.
What? She tried again with the same result. Sliding
the card faster or slower didn’t make a difference. She couldn’t get into her
apartment building.
“Please vacate the
area. Authorities have been notified.”
Calla’s stomach
twisted. Her throat tightened. Was this Malock’s doing?
She pulled out her
communicator and contacted the building manager. “Taylor, it’s Calla Jacobs. My
card won’t work in the reader. Can you please open the door for me?”
He grimaced at her.
“I’m sorry, Jacobs, but I’m under strict orders not to let you into the
building. Your apartment has already been assigned to another employee, and
your belongings were taken a week ago to Planet Core.” He disconnected, leaving
her to stare at a blank screen.
A week ago? Malock had
planned her demise before she’d even left for Airondelle? Tears threatened to
fall. She wiped them away. With PC cameras all over the city, she imagined he
watched her and laughed. She stood tall, not letting him get to her.
Although she had no
possessions, no place to live, she could still live a happy life with Erik. But
where was he if not at her apartment? After they’d decided to return to being
friends, he’d moved to Planet Core claiming she would be too much of a temptation
for him if they continued living together.
She dialed his
communicator, hoping he’d be nearby. When he failed to answer, not once, but
five times within ten minutes, Calla lost hope. Malock had ruined her as he’d
threatened. She had nothing left. Her only option was to return home to her
parents. A glide could get her there by nightfall.
She squashed that
irrational thought. No! She’d rather live in the rumored underground
cities than go crawling back to the two people who’d admitted they’d only had
her to gain status in the business world. She couldn’t go back there. She’d
rather take her chances and return to Planet Core.
Sirens hauled her back
from her thoughts. A police hover bike flew past her and ground to a halt.
Glancing in her direction, the officer pointed at her.
I haven’t done
anything wrong!
When the bike circled
toward her, she ran—her first instinct. Malock knew too many people, and he’d
reminded his recruits every day when he’d dropped in on their training. She
hadn’t realized how those words would affect her until now.
The siren on the bike
screamed behind her. She motioned to cross at the intersection where people and
hover vehicles waited for the lights to change. But instead, she spun around
the corner, hoping to throw off the officer. She peered over her shoulder to
see if the bike followed her, and smacked into what felt like a brick wall.
Landing on her ass, she stared up at the mountain of a man before her.
The guard from Planet
Core.
She crab-walked
backward across the concrete sidewalk. Hopping onto her feet, she fled back
onto the main street. She traveled the way she’d come, unsure if anywhere would
be safe. No one could escape the cameras.
Hurrying past her
building, she spotted the hover bike reflected in its dark glass walls. The
siren had been turned off, and the officer was almost on her. She scanned her
surroundings for an escape route. Similar glass buildings lined the next few
blocks, all owned by Planet Core. She couldn’t get into any of them now, and
there was no place she could hide.
Her lungs ached from
running. Maybe she should surrender. What then? I’ll be killed.
“Stop!” The officer on
the bike rocketed in front of her.
At the same time,
something grabbed her arm and yanked her into darkness. A cloth slammed over
her mouth, muffling her cry. Shit! Things just went from bad to worse.
Reviews
Never
Gonna Let You Go:
“Her
stories are so beautiful and hard to put down. But I must admit, this was my
favorite one. Being I am a sucker for a good conspiracy, I was foaming at the
mouth with this story.”
~ Offbeat Vagabond
Never
Gonna Desert You:
“Never
Gonna Desert You is a fast paced sci~fi romance that gives you pause and makes
you think about what life might be like on Earth someday.”
~ Illustrious Illusions
Never
Gonna Say Goodbye:
“I loved this story. Never Gonna Say
Goodbye had a lot of heart, and engaged my emotions in a way that I wasn’t
prepared for.”

Commonly
Asked Questions
·
What’s your book about?
The Underground series is
about a group of rebels who band together to bring down the corporation, Planet
Core, that runs the city. They are fighting for their freedom to live and love.
·
Where did you get the idea for this book?
The first story in the
series, Never Gonna Let You Go, was
inspired by a story I started in my high school Science Fiction English class. It’s
changed a lot since the original, though. And Earth 2, a television show I watched as a kid may have inspired
this story a bit, too.
·
What traits and other tidbits do you share with your main character?
That’s a difficult
question. There are six main characters in this series, and I share different
personality traits with each of them. Loyalty, and standing up for what I
believe is right would be two main things I share with many of them.
·
Did any of your inspiration for this book originate in your real
life experiences?
I wouldn’t say my own
experiences, but the continuous fight I see many face for equality.
·
Does your book take place in a specific region that would make
people take an interest?
The Underground series
takes place in the future. While it is very different from our own world, there
are some beliefs, flora, and fauna that resembles the way things are now.
·
Do you have another project in the works? If so, what is it?
I have several projects in
the works at the moment. I’m writing an F/F space academy story (still
untitled) for an anthology that will be out later this year. I’ve also started
the third story in my Alien Next Door series, Alien Attraction, plan to finish
Always Her Wingman, which I started last year, as well as write the first story
in my Alien Generations series, a series about three different generations of
female aliens living on Earth.
