I Wrote a Book!!!

The Roar - Emma Clayton

Summary:

Mika and Ellie live in a future behind a wall: Solid concrete topped with high-voltage razor wire and guarded by a battalion of Ghengis Borgs, it was built to keep out the animals, because animals carry the plague. At least that's what Ellie, who was kidnapped as a child, has always been taught. But when she comes to suspect the truth behind her captivity, she's ready to risk exposure to the elements and answer the call of the wild. Listen. Can you hear it? She's strapping on her headset, jumpstarting her Pod Fighter, and--with her capuchin monkey at her back--she's breaking out!

Review:

I'm not sure if I should mark this as younger readers or not. The main characters are younger than most of the other stories I blog about--they're around 12--but there's a lot of violence in this one (science fiction violence as opposed to fantasy violence...I'm not sure why that's different to me, but for some reason it is).

ANNOUNCEMENT! aka Where Has Geekgirl Been?

Okay, first of all, I'd like to apologize in advance for any typos in this post. I broke my finger so typing is currently a bit of a challenge. So if I miss any, I'm sorry!

Yep, that emotional, stressful first attempt at NaNoWriMo, which included this little gem:

Yeah, not fun. But! I was successful. I wrote the book. And for five long years it has sat, watching waiting. And finally, FINALLY it will see the light of day.

Curses and Smoke: A Novel of Pompeii
by Vicky Alvear Shecter

When your world blows apart, what will you hold onto?

Tag is a medical slave, doomed to spend his life healing his master's injured gladiators. But his warrior's heart yearns to fight in the gladiator ring himself and earn enough money to win his freedom.

Lucia is the daughter of Tag's owner, doomed by her father's greed to marry a much older Roman man. But she loves studying the natural world around her home in Pompeii, and lately she's been noticing some odd occurrences in the landscape: small lakes disappearing; a sulfurous smell in the air. . . .

When the two childhood friends reconnect, each with their own longings, they fall passionately in love. But as they plot their escape from the city, a patrician fighter reveals his own plans for them -- to Lucia's father, who imprisons Tag as punishment. Then an earthquake shakes Pompeii, in the first sign of the chaos to come. Will they be able to find e…
