The future is a past in need of a change.
I punched a Nazi, kissed a clone and met my future self. Now I'm the living dead girl you can't kill. Maybe no one can. So what must one do with all that power? You think I would be bored. Or corrupt. You'd be wrong on both counts. Well, maybe... There are things far worse than death now looming along the horizon - people and entities who exist that you can't even begin to fathom. But they're real. They're real and now they're hunting me.
The playground of the elite is a dark and disastrous world.
Whether it's the battered future me, fallout from the super elite or the love life I have yet to find, this hot AF dead girl's on a mission from God. I'm about to re-write a future that has yet to happen. They say you can't change the past, right? Nope. Totally untrue. This is my strange tale, one you might not want to believe. But you're no ordinary soul, and I'm no ordinary girl. You deserve the truth - the rest of the story down to the detail. It all starts with the body from the desert...
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, which makes the Swann series feel fresh and yes, highly addictive.
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 Twilight, The Hunger Games and Divergent appreciate this series. Although this is not a rehashed version of any of the books 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 YA 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 language, violence and adult situations. I personally feel this series should be enjoyed by ages 15 and above.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING...
"It's extremely hard to find such an interesting and exciting author who not only writes intelligently but also provides top rated plots, characters and excitement in the stories."
- JMN455 Review for Abomination
"That slight drip of straightforward pleasure has turned into an avalanche of complexity, all highly enjoyable."
- The Mysterious Amazon Customer - Top 1000 Reviewer for Enigma
"I haven't read anything this good in a very long time! It's well worth your time. Didn't sleep a few nights - I couldn't put it down."
- Amy Review for Crucified
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
