What’s up, y’all? I’m posting on a Friday? Well, yeah. Why? Because I’ve made Sevina Gate #1, Dirty Synth free to download for the next few days.
May has been dismally slow as far as online activity. Sales, pages read, even my blog traffic have just tanked. I know they can’t all be bangers, but it’s still a bit disheartening to see in black-and-white numbers. And I get it. May has been kicking my ass, too.
So rather than mope about it, I’m giving away a novella. Why not? Maybe I can bring someone some spicy joy on their Kindle. And it has some really awesome illustrations done by my partner-in-literary-crime.
If you’re not familiar with the Sevina Gate series, here’s a quick overview. Dirty Synth is the first installment in this dystopian setting. Roughly a century after what people refer to as “the fall,” what’s left of society is just trying to survive. Not much is known about what caused the fall, but what is well known is that whatever happened caused a violent alien race to pour into the world and wreak havoc. Elves and humans who were previously at war with each other were forced to turn their attention to fighting demons. The cataclysm caused the world’s technology to tank, animals mutated or were wiped out, and many of all races died. Now, the elves stay mostly to themselves behind their borders, and humans have formed new nations, often living alongside the demons, with little choice.
Dirty Synth follows Wen, a young human woman who grew up on the hard streets of Srong Sevina, but who eventually found herself under the blanket of the Namen nation’s political seat. When faced with a problem that won’t be solved using proper channels, a whole new world opens up to her in the form of a top-secret network. Then she meets someone who changes everything.
