In The Beginning...

          
           Today's the day!!  I can't tell you how excited I am to finally share a piece of my upcoming book with you!  Yes, I'm definitely doing a little happy dance inside.
           First of all, I want to say thanks for taking the time to visit my blog.  I'll be posting a teaser every Tuesday up until the release of my book in early summer, so, definitely keep coming back!! 
          For those of you who don't know, my book, titled Skyla, is a dystopian novel.  If you don't know what that means, don't worry about it!  Just sit back, read and enjoy!
          And now, for the main attraction (big drum roll). 
         This week, I've decided to share my "blurb" as I like to call it.  It gives you a rough idea of what my book is about.  I hope you enjoy it!
 
           The world as we know it doesn’t exist anymore.  Humanity has retreated to the skies after almost being obliterated by the deadly Ghost Virus.  Man-made islands floating in the troposphere now house those that survived.  The System, a new form of government, controls and regulates everyone’s lives in an effort to preserve the human race. 

            Skyla Deep is not your average orphan in this sky born world; abused, neglected and in need of something the System doesn’t offer…freedom.  Desperate to live instead of merely exist, Skyla runs away.  She aligns herself with one of the notorious sects who control the outer edges of the islands.  There’s just one problem.  On an island this small you can only run from the System for so long.

            As events escalate, Skyla will come to question all that she’s been taught to believe.  She’s always felt the System isn’t what it claims to be, but wonders just how deep their treachery runs?  And with the Ghost Virus making a reappearance on the islands, will humanity survive?
 
            Let me know what you think in the comments below and come back next week for some actual book content!
