A stolen car. A troubled teenager with a dysfunctional mother. A gorgeous charlatan who might not be human manipulating the laws of time and physics. This is how it starts. This is how your heroine looks just before she knows what immoral science and genetics have in store for her. The way it’s always sweetest just before it gets salty, well, savor the sweeter moments like these because all hell is about to break loose in the world of sixteen year old Savannah Van Duyn...

If your parents loved you enough to erase you, who would you become? You are not your body. You’re not your hair, your eyes or your nose. You’re not your diseases, your anxieties, or your psychosis. Welcome to Astor Academy where, with the right genetic coding and a stomach for the impossible, you can change not only your body but the very course of your life… Thrust into the sexy, ultra-elite social scene, sixteen year old Savannah Van Duyn starts Astor Academy armed with only her sarcasm, a survivalist’s wit and her father’s promise that the school’s geneticist can fix her many problems at the DNA level. The foremost expert in genetic engineering, however, is teeming with so much dark secrecy it has Savannah’s skin crawling. What begins as a bold promise of genetic therapy becomes a life-threatening search for morality in an immoral cure, and an obsession to right the wrongs heaped upon her and those students who have died before her. Swann is the first in this groundbreaking debut series of young adult novels. Prepare yourself for an unabashed, unapologetic look into today’s YA world, namely: coping with a body fit for shame, crazy mothers on meds, the notion that there’s a pill for every problem, bullying and cyberbullying, the ebb and flow of first love and all things humorous, sick and twisted. In the spirit of balance, however, Swann explores the allure of friendship, the resolve of the desperate soul to find light inside the darkness, and one girl’s path to redemption in the face of insurmountable odds. And so begins the story of the ugly duckling becoming the swan…

If that which makes you beautiful becomes society’s undoing, would you steal a fake child to save the future? The Virginia Corp. is reeling from major losses, and after the brutal double murder in Prague, Monarch Enterprises isn’t sure if Savannah is even alive. With her kill contract still open and assets now hunting her on Astor’s campus, Monarch prepares the hyper-skilled young assassin, Delta 1A, to execute her on sight. Savannah is gone, though. Disappeared. In her stead, the love-struck Abby Swann remains obsessed not only with Jake and Damien, but with morality issues surrounding Gerhard’s miracle transformations. When she attacks the staff at Gerhard’s San Francisco lab and kidnaps a clone, a gorgeous teenage red head, Abby unleashes a firestorm of events that should have her dead several times over. Her survival seems impossible, though, and this has her wondering, has she become another one of Gerhard’s twisted experiments? Complicating matters, the worst of tragedies strikes her inner circle. How will the new and improved Abby Swann cope with her need to right yet another catastrophic wrong? With the enigmatic and ever evolving Brayden James helping her mete out her own brand of justice, of course! The problem is, Abby is an itty-bitty fish in shark-infested waters spanning back through the ages, and she’s about to cross two men, both psychotic monsters of their own sort, both men the likes of which she has never encountered. Her chances of survival? Damn near zero. Due to mature content, Clone is recommended for ages 15 and up. INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR Q – How do I get Vannie, The Swann series prequel, when it’s not listed on Amazon? A – Inside Clone or at the author’s website, you’ll find a link to download the FREE prequel. Vannie is an engaging read, a 47 page novella that can be enjoyed no matter where you’re at in the series, although you’ll probably enjoy the series even more if you start with Vannie. Q – What makes the Swann series special? A – I remember devouring the Harry Potter books thinking there was always something thrilling about each new adventure. The kinds of literary highs these stories inspire produce a feeling like no other! We’ve seen vampires, werewolves, angels, demons and tales from the dystopian future; I desperately wanted to tap into the next evolution of the young adult fiction genre! From this mindset, the Swann series was born… Q – What order should I read the books in? A – The books are meant to be read in the following order: Vannie Swann Monarch Clone Masochist Weapon Raven Abomination Q – Why should readers give the series a try? A – With an obsessive, almost unrivaled devotion, I set out to fill some of the larger holes left behind by

In the world of the living and the dead, only the dead survive… The way carbon atoms need intense heat and pressure to change structure and become a diamond is the same way some girls need mind mapping and genetic modification to become unstoppable weapons. As in love, nothing comes easy. And nothing in life will ever be the same again. Such is the nature of cause and effect in genetics. In the wake of an horrific, inevitable tragedy, everyone is forced to be someone they’re not. Brayden sinks into the Vegas nightlife learning hard lessons in love and sex; Georgia struggles to cope with the mutant changes taking place in her, specifically the death of her emotions; Dr. Holland must correct his own genetic cocktail lest he descend into a madness more reminiscent of his earlier, more homicidal days; and Margaret and Christian must face their own dire truths, not only about who they are becoming as a couple, but if they will even have a family once the truth about Abby comes out. Weapon is very much a book of love and humanity, the will to endure the unthinkable, the necessity of friendship in the darkest of times and what it means to prepare yourself for the backlash of a reckless life. When love is a choice, and life is a choice, but madness and torture head toward secrecy and conspiracy, what you have is a riveting tale that begs the question: can normalcy and paranormal power co-exist? Especially if that power is otherworldly and indomitable, something most humans could never comprehend? With some slight of hand, a rash of deception, and some life-threatening choices that seem impossible in retrospect, the heart-stopping fifth novel in the ground-breaking Swann Series begins. Note to Reader: Before you purchase this book, read the short author interview below. Due to mature content, Weapon is recommended for ages 15 and up. INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR Q – The events in Masochist flip the script, so to speak. Can we expect to see Abby again? A – If I’ve learned one thing from reading over a thousand books, it’s that you want to keep your audience on edge. You want to be unpredictable, do the unthinkable. Nothing for my characters is easy. Weapon is no different. As the series progresses, the stakes intensify; if the characters can’t keep up, failure overwhelms them. Failure sometimes equals death. Weapon continues the Swann Series tradition by being a story of ascension. Over the last three books, this series has delicately embraced the paranormal, the genetically complex, the downright insane. So will we see Abby again? Maybe more than you think, or perhaps not at all. I can promise you this, what lie ahead…you will never see it coming. Q – You use Dulce Air Force Base as a background for Weapon. What inspired this setting? A – There’s so much conspiracy surrounding Dulce AFB, especially in 1979 when a war broke out between the military and, well…something else. Sixty-seven military personnel died; three survived. Phil Schneider, grievously wounded, survived. His wounds were consistent with his story, but his story was impossible to the logical mind. Schneider was told the only way to avoid being suicided was to tell the truth to as many people as he could, a common safety measure for whistle-blowers. Schneider was later found dead in his apartment after thirteen murder attempts.

To find yourself, you must end yourself… A boy with a familiar past. An old lover with a secret he’ll kill to protect. A disappearing blonde with an agenda that will blow the Swann universe wide open. In the sixth installment of this mind-bending new series, becoming no one means leaving everyone, and only when you’re truly gone will you know the real you. The only problem? You probably won’t like what you see. Where before our heroine learned to be strong, to fight, to survive, now she must temper those impulses, quell the violence, and embrace humility. Unless she can connect the dots and warm up to some dangerous truths about the future, however, she will never understand the storm headed her way, or how the appearance of a mutilated body in the middle of the desert holds the key to saving humanity itself. AUTHOR’S NOTE: This series contains adult language, strong sexual situations and brutal violence meant for mature readers.

If you love yourself enough to end yourself, what will your future hold? You are no one. No one expects anything from you. With no consequences and the concept of right and wrong now irrelevant, what do you do? You can become anyone. Anything. For all the unknowns that have ever beguiled and confused her, Raven has yet to realize the extent of her existence. In the middle of the night in the middle of the Nevada desert, the key to her life lands broken, beaten and abused on the hood of her car. Horrified, Raven is forced to contemplate every choice she’s ever made, and every choice she will make that turns her into the abomination she becomes. This reckless, paranormal life of hers, it’s a life of savagery and liberation, a life of retribution, vigilante justice, and steep, steep consequences. By comparison, the ninth circle of hell could very well be the Four Seasons. Time for reflection, however, is precious. Something is hunting her. An unthinkable beast with a ruthless agenda the likes of which no human of this time could ever fathom. This monster will track her down, tearing through the bodies, leaving human wreckage and devastation in his wake. To find her, though, he must start with her friends…

Undead dictators. Sadistic social gatherings. The intersection of the past with a hellish future. How is a girl supposed to fall in love under such ghastly circumstances? Easy. Just do it. Against all caution, good sense and reason, you close your eyes and jump… Despite her astonishing history, Savannah’s future is now an unwritten book. With no one hunting her and anonymity hers for the taking, can she settle into a normal life, or will the insanity of her past and the tendencies of her once future-self have her falling into old habits fast? As powerful and as intelligent as the eighteen year old is, she travels no easy roads, and the future is as daunting and as dangerous as the past. Love struck and rejected, Brayden seeks the comforts of Las Vegas, a city that both haunts and enthralls him. After committing a federal crime of epic proportions, he strolls into the FBI field office with an inflated ego and some unreasonable demands. With the puzzle pieces of his future needing to find their respective places, he unknowingly pits himself against not only the FBI, but one of the most notorious groups of black-hat hackers the bureau has ever known, a reckless decision that will either guarantee his freedom or cost him his life.

Sharp teeth. A lover’s gaze. One death to save the lives of billions. If only it were that easy! Savannah’s best friends no longer know her, her new lover comes with a bomb in his head, and the future looks more like a nuclear winter than a bright bowl of cherries. Just another day in paradise, right? Not so much. So what’s a girl to do? Steal a baby, start a fight, backhand a dictator? Decisions, decisions… In times of great suffering, sacrifices must be made for the betterment of all. Savannah Swann has never had any shortage of enemies, and this will ring true in Crucified as well, but what if her biggest enemy is herself? As our heroine reaches new levels of power, and untold possibilities reshape her future, Savannah must change everything if she wants to have friends and family, a steady boyfriend, a balanced life. The key to her future lies in the past, but you’ve got to have some pretty big girl balls to pull off what Savannah’s planning next…
