Picture a world 300+ years from now with humans encapsulated in spheres, as protection against horrific pollution. Imagine sequestering those who want to bear and raise children, where 18 year old’s decide to stay or go, and parents leave upon their youngest child’s age out.
The Mechanized series begins in 2023 with “The Separation,” the story of Franny Murphy, a forensic scientist, who overcomes exile, grief, and a lifetime of placating to take a dangerous stance against the status quo.
Look for the next book, Resistance (coming soon), about Franny’s daughter, Jane, a powerful Administrator, who learns to love the children she wronged with a devastating edict.
Unpublished books in this series already won prizes at the Halloween Book Festival.
