BOOK 1 // Human Error (COMPLETE) BOOK 2 // Human Instinct (IN PROGRESS) *NOW OPTIONED FOR A TV SHOW* "Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness engineered right into their DNA." - William Shakespeare, 1602 (adapted for BioPlus) Astrid Oxford is not normal. Two hundred years into the future, society is recovering from global collapse, and genetic modification has saved the remaining population from a hunger crisis. The alteration of human DNA has been illegal since the technology was developed, but in the heart of New London, a sinister trend has emerged among society's elite. Designer children have been the city's best-kept secret for years, but strange side effects are now appearing as they hit adolescence. When a freak suicide forces modification into the public eye, eighteen-year-old Astrid is about to learn how difficult it is to stay under the radar when you really were born to stand out.

"Well then, go out and make some memories." Esme, a young English major, was stuck with the duty of writing a creative story based on a real event in her life. The only thing about that was, Esme never really did anything. Her life consisted of working part-time at the bookstore and reading in the university's coffee shop. So when her professor threw words of wisdom in her face, she was a little confused. She did not have time to go out and climb mountains or volcanoes like her classmates. Little did she know that a simple trip to the coffee shop down the road would be the start of something wonderful. Her story was coming together, and all it took to start her journey was spilling her tea on a young business man. The next thing she knew, she was going on a date and actually enjoying herself. But with the new reason to write thrown at her, she begins to wonder if this story was going to be finished just as it started, or was this story going to continue on to be her complete oeuvre?

Suddenly, being compared to a giant gorilla of mass destruction doesn't actually seem that crazy. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED #11 Romance
