Lay your soul on the line for vengeance.
A girl with a taste for revenge. A clone that needs saving. An immortal Nazi scientist who needs his freaking ticket punched. Can't a girl live a normal life and be heroic at the same time? In the Swann series nothing comes easy and nothing is normal, but this ever-evolving girl's no wuss, so she's not sweating the small stuff. Not when she's got such big plans...
Legends aren't born, they're made one painful step at a time...
Becoming a kickass heroine means tossing all caution to the wind. It's assault and battery, it's a kidnapping gone wrong, it's taking down one of the worst scumbags Santa Monica ever shat out of its hot, dusty womb. In the case of Clone, rising to the status of legend means protecting those who can't defend themselves, meting out justice when the time is right, and maybe working extra hard not to fall in love with a boy who's very much in love with you.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING...
"An unputdownable book! The plot thickens and just gets better. I could literally feel their feelings and pain. I cried and laughed and totally enjoyed this book. I think I'm in love with Brayden here. Abby's character development is phenomenal!"
- Rose, Amazon Reviewer
"Blown away again! Clone is proof that as I keep reading along with this series, it keeps getting better and better. I'm rooting for Brayden and Abby as a couple. I just love this series. Well, done!!"
- Rebecca, Amazon Reviewer
INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR:
Q:Why should readers try this series?
A: This bold new series starts out looking at the life of a regular(ish) teen girl who's bullied at the hands of her mother, the paparazzi and her fellow students. But what happens over this nine book series is this unfortunate girl becomes the most badass girl in all of history. Most readers will appreciate this series because there is literally nothing like it out there right now.
Q:What kind of series is this?
A:Swann and Monarch (books one and two) are both human stories steeped in high school angst, bullies, difficult parents and the twisted effects of human genetic modification. The third book, Clone, kicks this world wide open, unleashing a rapidly evolving world of urban fantasy. By the ninth and final book in this series, urban fantasy will have become dark fantasy, but by then you'll be so hooked that nothing else will matter (the author says with a Cheshire cat-like grin).
Q: What kind of readers will enjoy these books?
A: I find fans of Harry Potter, Twilight, The Hunger Games and Divergent will appreciate the Swann series novels. Although this is not a rehashed version of any of the series listed above, Swann is for readers who love a strong, snarky heroine with real internal struggles who constantly wrestles with adversity while facing off with some of the most unusual villains in young adult fiction today.
Q:Are there adult themes in this series?
A: Yes. To stay authentic to the YA world, and to most of today's teens, there is some strong language, violence and adult situations. I personally feel this series should be enjoyed by ages 15 and above.
