I’ve taken a few days to rest my swollen fingers (from all that typing!), but I’m happy to announce that Book #3 of the Sunset Rising trilogy, titled New World Order, is now with my editor ☺ Yes, I’m doing the happy dance right now! Obviously, it still needs to be edited, sent out to beta readers, proofread and generally a lot of work done between now and when it’s released, but the story is written. Aaaaahhh.

Here is the first draft, and very first peek, of the book description for New World Order:

The Biodome has been liberated, the slaves are now free, and a new democratic government has been formed. Yet tensions between the Pit and the Dome have never been higher. With the disappearance of Senator Jack Kenner, the old regime makes a political move to reestablish their government.

In the third book of the Sunset Rising trilogy, Sunny O’Donnell is determined to find Jack and bring him home. With the high-tech assistance of Doc, Sunny teams up with Summer, Reyes and friends from the Nation and sets out into a lawless post apocalyptic world in search of the kidnapped men. But as the ruthlessness of the recruiters unfolds amidst the discovery of betrayals within their own group, friends will become enemies and enemies will become friends on a journey that will end in a New World Order.

Expected Release: January 2015

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the book description.

I’ve already added it to Goodreads because I’m just that efficient. (And excited! Don’t forget excited!)

In the past, I’ve sent out ARCs to beta readers prior to sending the manuscript to the editor, but I’m reversing the process this time. My beta readers help me find the heart and soul of my story, so they don’t need to be bogged down with doing the job of the editor. So, if you are one of my fabulous beta readers and you’re reading this post thinking Hey! I didn’t get a copy to read yet!, you’ll know why. I’ll be in touch in December. (Note: I already have an extensive list of beta readers and I can’t accept any more at this time. Please feel free to get in touch with me about future projects.)

Nathalia Suellen has created another beautiful cover and I’m planning a big reveal closer to the end of the month. I’ll tweet, Facebook and blog just as soon as I have all the info on it for you.

Before I sign off, I want to let you all know there’s a fantastic book giveaway going on over at a friend’s blog, Random Smiles.  There are lots of fabulous books by amazing authors available to be won. And next week I’ll be doing an author interview with Ellen, so watch out for that too (there might a little spoiler from New World Order mentioned…).

I hope you’re all having a great week! Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers – Susan
