“Sometimes I say my name out loud, just to remember what it sounds like.” Sixteen years ago, a plague swept through the United States of America, locking those infected in a permanent state of heightened emotion. They called it the Feeling. The lucky ones got placed in Quarantine Zones, where they exist in relative peace. the unlucky ones, like Wander, got left behind, with no choice but to take each day as it comes. When faced with raiders, fighters, and smilers, survival relies on following the rules.
- No names.
- Fly, or die.
- Always keep moving.
- Trust no-one.
- Take what you can.
- Don't travel at night. Wander's only alive because she follows these rules, but everything changes the day a boy named Dagger stumbles into her life. He’s on the run from the smilers and, against her better instincts, Wander decides to help. There has to be more to living than being alive and, to find out what it is, Wander's going to need to break every rule she's ever held sacred.

While in the womb, Lewis absorbed his twin brother, setting a precedent of badassery which persists to this day. Since then, Lewis has worked a variety of odd jobs, hosted his own radio show, worked as the assistant director on a movie set, studied film at university, been used by a drag queen to simulate birth and earned a TEFL degree. In his spare time he enjoys procrastinating, video games, reading, watching movies and, in at least one case, writing entire essays to prove a point. His good friend, Jane Austen, once told him not to lie when writing a biography.
