It is my pleasure to introduce Pipe Dreams by Destiny Allison to you guys!! The novel will be out on June 3, 2012.
Book Blurb:
Beneath
the park bench, a young girl cries for help, her voice a cold hand on
Vanessa’s throat. “Please,” the girl whispers, a tear trickling down
her battered face. Vanessa glances at the empty square. A piece of trash
tumbles. A bird settles in a tree. Then there is silence — no voice, no
wind, no movement. It’s as if the world is waiting. The naked girl is
desperate, but compassion for the Fallen is never forgiven.
Vanessa’s
hesitation is her undoing. Unbeknownst to her, Lewis is still haunted
by her thick, auburn hair, serious eyes, and mocking laughter. She is
the symbol of all he hates and her interaction with the girl is just
what he needs to gain control of the virus. Originally developed to save
mankind from itself, the virus can be used to create a slave race. When
it is released, Lewis will have his revenge.
As
his plan unfolds, Vanessa is forced to flee. Escaping through the
sewer, she finds love, heartbreak, and the red beam of a gun sight
dancing on the slick, black wall. In the deep dark of the foul pipe,
she also discovers she has been betrayed. That’s when she learns Texas
is real.
Pipe Dreams is a dystopian novel set in the near future. If gene splicing could merge Margaret Atwood and Suzanne Collins, the resulting author might write this book.
About the Author, Destiny Allison:
Destiny
Allison is an award winning sculptor, businesswoman, and community
builder, although writing was her first love. Last year, she published Shaping Destiny: A quest for meaning in art and life.
The non-fiction work is a memoir. In it, Allison reveals the truth that
life is art. The memoir is a book Allison felt she had to write.
As her passion for the written word evolves, she is writing what she loves. Pipe Dreams is her fiction debut (to be released in June, 2013), and other fictional works are soon to follow.
Unlike
many authors, Allison does not believe in pen names. She knows this
could get her in some trouble with her readers, but strongly believes
that we have to be who and what we are.
Allison lives in Santa Fe, NM with her husband and dogs, alternately missing and celebrating her three grown sons.
