I'm well on my way to having my novelette fully edited by the end of this month, which means it will get into the hands of beta readers on time, which means the release date will officially be sometime in July! I'll announce the date when we get closer. But for now, the project!
Hipstopia - YA Dystopian
It's been three years since Murphy led the Hipster uprising. For three years, Jay has been by his side. All that's about to change. It starts with the beautifully intense Prisoner Forty-Seven... and a loaded gun.
Why on earth did I write something with such a silly concept? I blame @courtney_s. My good friend Sarah pointed out a tweet by Courtney that said, "still waiting on a hipster dystopia YA because my god that would be chilling." I replied with, "We don't do this because it's right or wrong. We don't do this for justice. We do this because it's fashionable."
I know, I know, it was a joke, and I probably should have let it die. But I couldn't, I just couldn't. All of a sudden I had this Murphy character floating around in my brain, then came Jay, and... well, I had to tell the story.
It will be a little over 100 pages. It's a fun concept that came out of a silly tweet, but I took the writing seriously. It ended up being satirical with a little political commentary. It's definitely dystopian, and because it is so fast-paced, it might also appeal to people who love adventure stories.
As always, because my books cannot seem to live without it, it has just a little bit of romance.
I will reveal the cover in June - so stay tuned for that. I'll announce the release date as soon as I have it finalized. And I'll be running a giveaway once it's published for ebooks and (possibly) paperback copies of the book. Exciting things!!
Oh yeah, and between now and then? Try to stay fashionable ;)
