Enigma: The Rise of an Urban Legend

* * *

**To save the future, you must erase the past.**

Undead dictators. Sadistic social gatherings. The intersection of the past with a hellish future. How is a girl supposed to fall in love under such ghastly circumstances? Easy. Just do it. Against all caution, good sense and reason, you close your eyes and jump…

**The future is an unwritten book...**

With no one hunting her and anonymity hers for the taking, can she settle into a normal life, or will the insanity of her past and the tendencies of her once future-self have her falling into old habits fast? In the high stakes world of underground genetics, disappearing identities and converging timelines, one must tie up the past to disappear the future.

**INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR:**

**Q:** *Why should readers try this series?*

**A: **This bold new series starts out looking at the life of a regular(ish) teen girl who’s bullied at the hands of her mother, the paparazzi and her fellow students. But what happens over this nine book series is this unfortunate girl becomes the most badass girl in all of history. Most readers will appreciate this series because there is literally nothing like it out there right now, which makes the *Swann* series feel fresh and yes, highly addictive.

**Q:** *What kind of series is this?*

**A:** *Swann* and *Monarch* (books one and two) are both human stories steeped in high school angst, bullies, difficult parents and the twisted effects of human genetic modification. The third book, *Clone,* kicks this world wide open, unleashing a rapidly evolving world of urban fantasy.  By the ninth and final book in this series, urban fantasy will have become dark fantasy, but by then you’ll be so hooked that nothing else will matter (the author says with a Cheshire cat-like grin).

**Q: ***What kind of readers will enjoy these books?*

**A:** I find fans of *Harry Potter, Twilight, The Hunger Games* and *Divergent* will appreciate the Swann series novels. Although this is not a rehashed version of any of the series listed above, *Swann* is for readers who love a strong, snarky heroine with real internal struggles who constantly wrestles with adversity while facing off with some of the most unusual villains in young adult fiction today.

**Q:** *Are there adult themes in this series?*

**A:** Yes. To stay authentic to the YA world, and to most of today’s teens, there is some strong language, violence and adult situations. I personally feel this series should be enjoyed by ages 15 and above.

**WHAT READERS ARE SAYING…**

“**An avalanche of reading pleasure!** That slight drip of straightforward pleasure has turned into an avalanche of complexity! Full of adventure, thrills, intrigue and romance they’ve been a true joyride.”
