Hi! Karen Akins here. I'm the author of LOOP (out now with St. Martin's Press) and its sequel TWIST (3/31/15). When I was revising LOOP, as a character exercise, I wrote a scene that took place between the two stories from Finn's point-of-view. I put it in a drawer and forgot about it until Future Karen (or Past Karen?) discovered it a few weeks ago. SHIFT takes place between LOOP and TWIST, so it does contain some information from LOOP, but no major spoilers! I'll be posting the first few chapters of LOOP so check back soon (and often)--you don't want to miss a thing. :) Finn Masterson has been dating time traveler Bree Bennis for three years...or three days, depending on who you ask and when you ask. But there's one thing he knows without a doubt. His life is never going to be the same--or dull--with Bree in it. In the past, present, or future. Don't forget, you can pre-order TWIST now . . .

Before the fall of Earth humanity built a great colony ship, ten thousand of the colonist left Earth for a hundred year journey to Gillespie. They came from all over the Earth leaving a planet knowing they would never see another in their lifetime. The Ark is a rotating cylinder the size of a large island with its own train system. It's divided into three main sections, the city, the framlands, and the Lowers. The people are divided into three groups as well, Uppers, Middles and Lowers. Uppers are made of elite scientist, Astro-crops, bureaucrats they made up about 3% of the population. The Middles are are the farmers, the guard, teachers, doctors, the food processors, clothes makers and of course the mechanical maintenance workers. They make-up the 97% of the 10,000 counted citizens. The lowers are criminals and children born to un-paired parents. They live separated from the middles and Upper. In lowers you work in water reclamation or in one of the fish farms that supply protein to the ship. In the year 2149 Dylan De Rovia is trying to wrap her head around the idea that in two year's she'll be paired. That they call marriage on the Ark. Pairing is good most who are paired do end-up staying together because while genetics play good part in determining a match so does personality. Some people choose to use spend this time having a good time with as many partners as possible. Dylan however, vowed that she would never fall in love with anyone before pairing. The universe had other plans however, when Dylan learns that she'll pair with an Upper named Kyive Sinclar life gets more complicated than ever. Falling in love is hard enough falling in love in space that the story.
