The doctors had explained to me that I'd be farsighted for a few hours after the procedure, meaning it was luckily temporary but extremely annoying. I hold my left arm out still, then make a fist and move it forward and backward. As my skin moves, I see the edges of a rectangular shape just beneath the skin on my wrist. Then I hear a small beeping sound and my veins light up red. I wrap a thick black Velcro bracelet around the battery so that it can charge. I look up at my own face in the mirror and examine my skin. The color is beginning to drain back, and I rub my pink cheeks with much gratitude. Today is the one month anniversary of me being plague-free. I was tired of being so weak. After I had gotten it, my muscles had shrunken and became weaker, and every time I moved my bones and joints would make cracking and popping sounds. I shuddered at the memory. Unfortunately my mom and had been too sick to save, but my older sister Hannibal and I had been able to undergo treatment, and with the help of our new batteries, we were completely mobilized again. © 2013, Diana Bail.

[Book 1 of the ARC10 Trilogy] **Winner of the 2017 Watty Storysmith award** The President created an underground safe-haven for the survivors of the alien invasion. He built it to save them all from total annihilation. He protects them, feeds them, keeps them under his ever-watchful gaze so they can live. All he asks is that they obey. Captain Janika Lorn doesn't want to obey. Not if it means spreading her legs and contributing to the President's precious eugenics program. As a perfect candidate for the Human Hope Project, she is obligated by law to make more citizens for the dying society. But all she wants is her freedom to fight the Invaders and protect the people who already exist. If the mandated program wasn't bad enough, the worst part is trying to fulfill it with Captain Dean Freyer, her scientifically matched partner and best friend of sixteen years. Just as Captain Lorn is about to succumb to her fate, another opportunity arises. A mysterious commanding officer asks her to lead a human refugee ship--to save humanity by evacuating the destroyed Earth and shuttling the remaining population to a new habitable exoplanet 400 light years away. The mission is perilous. Especially because now, standing between her and her freedom is the hostile alien hosts of her ship, the ARC10, a sister returned from the dead, an array of impossibly confusing alien tech, a rekindled heat between her and Dean, and a sexy militia chief she can't seem to keep her hands off of. ARC10 is a romance-heavy sci-fi with the speculative horror of Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and the military action of Battle: Los Angeles. Cover art by @FayLane Copyright © 2016 by LL Montez
