Author's note, Super- Duper Quick Catch-up, Character List
Author's Note:
If you are from any government agency: you can take me off your watch list now. If you read the books, you will see that all my internet searches were for this book :)
Behind every novel, both good and bad, is always a bevvy of various people with the patience of Job. My two major cheerleaders were my husband and my bestfriend Michele. They were my greatest champions and they were also quick to be honest with me. When you are writing you need both types of people to help you. The strong people that you can trust to help you through the angst of rewrites and edits. Those that continue to encourage you to carry on when you aren't sure if you can. Those are the people that you want with you even if you aren't writing. I am truly blessed.
I am also thankful to my online community that I went to for advice on occasion. To Lisa, Krissy and Alisha: thank you for helping me pick out names and helping me with design elements. And a special shout out to 'Canna' who pointed me to Wattpad. It is nice to have people around you that take an interest in the things of life and encourage you.
Quick Catch Up
Book One: ORA: Genesis
President Lukas authorizes a Think Tank and then buries in so deep during his second presidential term no one will ever be able to find it. The Think Tank develops into a Top Secret project, which also gets sealed and buried, called Operation Rock of Ages.
Operation Rock of Ages is to develop a society underground on hostile foreign soil without their government being the wiser. A plan was hatched. It went off nearly flawlessly...at least until they ended up with the Israeli President's wife and children on board their chopper and causing an international incident.
Book Two: ORA: Exodus
The Jordanian area scoped out, a plan is in place, the Middle East is about to politically blow up so the trigger is pulled and people are moved into place. The digging begins and the drama does not.
