In a fatally overpopulated future Earth, all that the people have to eat is each other, and they thank God for every meal.

In this world, keeping the population trimmed and the meat quota filled, is every citizen's responsibility.  Gladiator type combat games have become a high school sport. This is the students' way of participating in both the population trimming and meat harvest. 

A Cheerleader discovers that some things in this world are not the way that everyone believes, and strange things begin to happen. 

"A week ago," she said, "I was killed for food, and all was right with the world.  Now I'm alive again, and the world's turned upside down."

These are the four opening chapters of my published novel "We the People Are Good to Eat", which is available as both a paperback and an e-book on the Barnes and Nobel website.

SIN

8 parts Ongoing Mature

"I've stitched up bodies, broken hearts, and shattered souls. But how do I fix a life when I've become the mess I'm trying to escape?" -Sin One moment, I was a 63-year-old doctor, the next-a 14-year-old freak, trapped in a body that isn't mine. A mistake. An anomaly. A secret worth killing for. The people in power want to own me, dissect me, erase me before anyone else discovers what I am. But I don't give a damn about their wars, their politics, or their rules. I only care about one thing-bringing my husband back before the body farm drains the last flicker of his mind.
