It's not true that Black writers don't write sci-fi. I love to write in that genre and Jill Tew has a title coming out and you should check out Alechia Dow’s catalog too. However, I haven't had much luck selling in the genre but that doesn’t mean that these projects don’t have a purpose. It’s hard to illustrate to new writers that this business is subjective and it’s a hard pill to swallow that you may not sell every book that you write. There may be gems that sit in your hard drive. Well, I don’t think there’s much point in letting some of my projects collect dust on a digital shelf when I can share them with you.
Disease and destruction have ravaged the planet, but one thing still has value...pretty young girls. Eve wants nothing else in the universe more than to be a Hopeful, one of those bright and shining young scientists chosen among millions to be colonists on Mars, and today is her last chance to make that happen. Even one more day at Miss Lorene’s School for Exceptional Girls will be too many.
Damian wants nothing else in the universe more than to finally find his mother and be free from his billionaire father’s reach. As head of his father’s security team he has access to surveillance all over the world, but if the man ever finds out what he’s doing, and who he’s been doing it for, a shared bloodline might not be enough to save him.
Damian and Eve are two very different people on two very different paths, but when the colony decides that couples are best for the future they’ll have to decide if the thing they want most in the universe is worth giving up the world for...together.
I’ll post the first chapter in the next few days and after that I’ll release the entire book, bit by bit to paid subscribers.
