The Decadia Code. I was privileged to write this book with the extraordinary
Apryl Baker. It may or it may have dragons, information on the lost city of Atlantis and revolved around a world thriving with Steampunk pirates!
Thrive. Thrive is book one in a planned series and available now. Books two and three are set to be released in 2016. Think dystopian mystery meets the Lara Croft of the future and your almost there.
All the Beautiful People. I’m putting finishing touched on the novel now but this survival/horror will be out soon. I don’t have a release day yet but if you click the title you can read the first section on
Wattpad.
Hey Apryl, thanks for having me!
ReplyDeleteInteresting premise, but forgive the English teacher for cringing when she defiantly when it should be definitely.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the catch Janet. Hope you have a great weekend.
