N8

Born with special abilities, N8 and the rest of “the children” have lived underground their entire lives, where they’ve been led to believe there was a nuclear war that left the Earth’s surface uninhabitable. The scientists chose what information they were given, what TV shows and movies they could watch, as well as what they were allowed to eat. It was only a matter of time before he and the others started questioning their very existence.

G8

When a fire at Docenti Labs sent everyone running, Ingrid Shyne was told to wipe the computers and get out, but she couldn’t leave the babies behind. How could anyone? She escapes with them, hiding out at her parents’ place, but she knows she can’t keep the infants forever. They’re Chimeras, created in a lab like the other “children” who escaped, and they need to be with those who understand them. When she reaches out, she’s welcomed with open arms, especially by one in particular.

K8

When K8 is approached by a publisher to tell the Childrens’ story, she’s hesitant to trust the guy, but she likes the idea. She’s always loved writing, and she’s been wanting to get back into it. Plus the extra money from book sales would definitely help. But is their story worth sharing?

Adam has been working with K8 at the diner for a while now, and his feelings for her keep growing. He’s leery of the publisher, fearing the man is someone looking to take advantage of the Childrens’ innocence, and he takes it upon himself to protect K8. As he earns her trust, he’s hoping he'll also gain her affection.

 G8 Children and the others are adjusting and learning to live freely outside of the underground bunker that they were once led to believe was normal life. They’re trying to find jobs as they scrounge for food and clothing, although the town is nice enough to help them whenever possible. But they’re determined to do it on their own, for the first time ever.

When a fire at Docenti Labs sent everyone running, Ingrid Shyne was told to wipe the computers and get out, but she couldn’t leave the babies behind. How could anyone? She escapes with them, hiding out at her parents’ place, but she knows she can’t keep the infants forever. They’re Chimeras, created in a lab like the other “children” who escaped, and they need to be with those who understand them. When she reaches out, she’s welcomed with open arms, especially by one in particular.

Ingrid can’t wait to share all the firsts with G8—first love, first changing of the seasons, first holiday season, first birthday celebration. It breaks her heart that he and his family have been deprived of the joys in life she’d always taken for granted. But all of this could be taken away before they ever get a chance to experience any of it. 

The sheriff soon calls G8 up to begin work in his new deputy position and aid them in investigating the abandoned labs, along with the help of Ingrid since she worked there. But they quickly realize their lives are at risk. For good reason. They’ll need everyone’s special abilities, along with local law enforcement, to protect themselves as well as the second generation of Chimeras.

Warning: Contains no wrong moves, surviving, eggs with beans, healing, a classic Chevy, BOOM!, and two people refusing to give up hope for love and a life together.

Six on Sunday - G8, The 8th Species, Book 2, a Contemporary Sci-Fi/Paranormal Romance






Six paragraphs from G8, The 8th Species, Book 2, a Contemporary Sci-Fi/Paranormal Romance

1. Biggs waited for the woman to depart, shutting the door behind her, then addressed G8 directly. “We need to get to the point of you being here before some emergency calls me away. First off, there’s a little matter of your application.” He reached inside a desk drawer and pulled out a manila folder. Opening it, he extracted the single sheet of paper inside, tapping it with the tip of his finger. “Suffice it to say, there isn’t a whole lot on your resume.”

2. Ingrid didn’t flinch when she returned his gaze. “It was known that those children had special abilities. And before you ask, no. I don’t know what those abilities are. But the company was attempting to breed more children with those special genes.” She gestured behind her. “Those little boys I brought with me are the only two surviving babies…out of hundreds.”

3. Ricks hurried over, his face red and covered with perspiration. “Thank you, thank you, thank you! That guy…” He pointed to the man MacDavis had ushered into his vehicle. “His car was stopped on the side of the road, and he flagged me down. I pulled over to see if I could help, and that’s when the other guy stuck a gun in my back. Told me to come here or they’d blow my brains out. I told them I was headed here anyway.” He indicated his truck. “I really am from Tibbaly, and I really was coming to bring you some stuff. I just never thought…”

4. This time Ingrid shook her head. “No. You’re not getting it. Her’s is twenty slash five. Not twenty slash twenty. Her eyesight is equivalent to some of the best predatory birds in the world, like the eagle. That’s why she can see things the rest of us can’t. And her hearing is just as keen. Which is why you’d be perfect to send to alien worlds to make it habitable. You’d be better able to withstand extreme conditions, and to protect yourselves against whatever comes at you. Or happens to you.”

5. G8 stuck close to Ingrid in case. In case of what, he couldn’t be specific. But after what had happened, or almost happened back at that restaurant gas station, he wasn’t taking any chances. They were in what he thought of as enemy territory now, despite the fact that they may be the only living beings inside this giant monstrosity of a complex now.

6. She rushed out of the room as he grabbed everything he deemed necessary and valuable from the small chest of drawers and adjacent bathroom. When he determined he had all he wanted, he took one last look around. Other than his personal items, he’d take nothing that would remind him of this place and of his life here. Satisfied, he grabbed the pillowcase and left the bedroom he’d known all his life. Yes, there was a brief sense of regret, but it didn’t last long.
