Adult dystopian science fiction (Black Rose Writing, 2020, 104,000 words). |
I am seeking beta readers for this complete but unpublished novel. Here are the details: TITLE: The Pieces of My Self GENRE: Adult dystopian science fiction WORD COUNT: 94,000 TAGLINE: The Waterknife meets The Big Sleep on a future Gulf Coast. BLURB: The novel explores the relationship between memory, identity, and humanity. Lillian Fray is an adjunct professor at a community college in Loumissala, a nation-state joined from the fragments of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama that are still above water in 2174. Fray has an unexpected flair—even brilliance—for mathematics and cryptography. Neither helps her make ends meet as a single mother of two. When she’s offered a reward for solving a cryptogram tied to a murdered billionaire’s lost fortune, she leaps at the chance that could change her life. She does not know the danger involved. Others believe the puzzle contains a secret more valuable than money: the identity of a dictator’s missing granddaughter. SENSITIVITY CONTENT: Some language, non-explicit sex, violence, macabre moments. AUDIENCE: Adult lovers of non-traditional science fiction, mystery, and adventure. EXPECTATIONS: I want to know what works and what doesn't. If you were to buy this book on Amazon, would you recommend it? Why/Why not? DEADLINE FOR FEEDBACK: One month from receiving the manuscript. AVAILABLE FORMATS: MS Word DOCX and PDF. |
