Excerpt:
“…Seabrook, New Hampshire is gone. If you’re just tuning in,
the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant has just exploded. We have no word yet on what
caused the explosion, but we do know there was a catastrophe resulting in
failure of the systems at the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant.”
“God help them,” said the woman at the news desk.
He could hear Elizabeth gasp at the announcement. His mind
was moving a million miles an hour. His wife, still covered in sweat and grime
from giving birth, his newborn son, his office calling him to alert him to the
news, all of it caused his head to swim. He was unsure of what his next move
would be.
The television flickered and turned to static. Mark reached
up and smacked the side of the box. The static began to take the shape of a
person. He stepped back to see the solid outline of a man on the TV.
“United States of America,” said a voice through the static,
“land of the free and home of the brave. We are calling out your discreet
operations. We know all about The Culling. Individuals who for years have been
in your employ, using their more-than-human abilities to further your goals,
will not die in vain. Killing empaths, slaughtering clairvoyants, and the
genocide of telepaths will be responded to in kind.”
“Eleanor,” he said in a hushed voice as he realized what
they were talking about.
“The United States has declared war on the wrong people. We
can see you coming. We can hear your plans. We will not be eliminated. You’ve
seen our reach.”

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
I’m high school
graphic design and marketing teacher, at a large suburban high school in
Massachusetts. Working as a high school educator and observing the outlandish
world of adolescence was the inspiration for my first young adult novel,
“Suburban Zombie High.”
My inspiration
for writing stems from being a youth who struggled with reading in school.
While I found school assigned novels incredibly difficult to digest, I devoured
comics and later fantasy novels. Their influences can be seen in the tall tales
I spin.
I took the long
route to becoming a writer. For a brief time, I majored in Creative Writing but
exchanged one passion for another as I switched to Art and Design. My passion for reading about
superheroes, fantastical worlds, and panic-stricken situations would become the
foundation of my writing career.
I participated
in my first NaNoWriMo in 2006 and continue to write an entire novel every
November. Now I am the NaNoWriMo Municipal Liaison to the Massachusetts
Metrowest Region. I also belong the New England Horror Writer’s Association and
to a weekly writing group, the Metrowest Writers.

How do you think your design major influenced your writing?
--Trix
Thanks for sharing!!
Trix,
My design major has been a HUGE influence. The books are all titled after Edward Hopper paintings. The main character is an artist and belongs to an art colony. In that regard, he's very much the sum of my experiences. So at this point, it has a pretty strong thread running through the background of the character.
I enjoyed reading the excerpt. This book sounds like a very interesting and intriguing read. Can't wait to read this book!
Sounds like a great read, thank you for sharing!
