BLURB:
A
masterful, dystopian science fiction thriller of underground genetic
experiments, telepathic evil greys, mysterious rebellion, conspiracy, martial
arts, and Alien Vampires.
Sandy Cox believed WW3
was over. But for those Alien Vampires, War Has Just Begun.
Forty-eight hours after
a World War III treaty is signed Sandy Cox awakens in an underground compound
unable to move. Tied to machines she screams for help but no one answers. At
least NO ONE HUMAN.
And they’ve taken her
unborn child.
Enter Phil, a rebel
freedom fighter who has had more than his share of Alien Vampires. Armed with
THE BLADES, a sacred alien martial art, he enters the compound on a mission to
find Sandy. But as he battles his way through the compound, Phil discovers
Sandy has her own agenda. Finding her stolen child is all that matters.
But the vampires have
their own plan and Sandy’s baby is at the heart of their diabolical plot.
Joined by a crew of rogue soldiers, they must navigate the underground
compound, battling genetically mutated humans, aliens and monsters.
When battling Alien
Vampires, one thing is certain…Get Ready To Bleed!
Fans of The Hunger
Games, George RR Martin, VE Schwab, Star Wars and Ancient Aliens will be
fascinated by this high-powered, intelligent, edge of your seat dystopian
sci-fi action thriller.

EXCERPT
Dr. Blum escorted an alien vampire, a Drac, down the
pristine hallway. This Drac was tall, standing well above six feet. He wore
thick black armor that shined under the light, covering his torso, neck to
navel, all the way down his arms, locked at the wrists. Standard armor for Drac
soldiers. His skin was pale, at least as
pale as a scaly brownish auburn flesh could allow. His skull was smooth and
large, and his neck bones stood on his shoulders protruding from the skin and
skull like two thick stints up to the top of his head. The bones swelled then
retracted, in unison with his breathing. The skin beneath his eyes was a pale
red circling dry yellowish eyeballs with emerald pupils. His fingers were long
and thick with sharp nails. Part of the Drac species, he wore his people's
badge of honor proud on his sleeve.
“He’s the first to receive the new pills,” Dr. Blum
explained. “He’s still coherent though, seems his strength and adrenaline are
fighting off the effects, but at least he’s calm. Shock to the system if you
know what I mean, Sanos?”
“Indeed,” replied Sanos, his voice a thick and heavy baritone.
“He’s had all the necessary tests completed?”
“Of course,” Dr. Blum replied.
“Good…I’m starved.”
Dr. Blum bowed. “Of course.”
They stopped in front of the door leading to Ben’s chamber.
“This is it,” said Dr. Blum, sliding a panel from the small
window. He looked inside seeing Ben sitting on the floor, his back against the
wall. Ben’s pupils circled beneath half closed eyelids. His body jerked. The
back of his head smacked against the wall. “Hmm, see, much more calm.”
“Delightful,” breathed Sanos. “May I?”
“Naturally.”
Sanos commanded perfection in his food. His eyes widened,
delighted in observing Ben.

DeleteHow did you decide on the cover art?
ReplyDeleteHi Janice. The cover was a collaboration between myself, the editor and publisher, and the designer. Since the title is The Rose of course we had to include a rose on the cover but also wanted to convey the deeper meaning with the alien vampires and that the book is dystopian and (again because of the title) not a romance. My editor came up with the idea of the vampire hands clawing at the rose. Not bad at all really , and the designer hit the nail on the head. I'm grateful to both of them. Thank you Janice.
DeleteSanos is also a great name for a character!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. The name fit perfectly with the character and kind of just popped into my head as if he chose the name for himself. Those pesky characters are always doing something in this head of mine. Thank you Janice.
DeleteDid you ever change your mind on the name of a character?
DeleteYes, but it is rare. sometimes when I read the book out loud during editing, if the name doesn't have the right 'flow' with the rest of the prose I'll change it to make it fit.
Delete13 hours left, good luck everyone! :)
