Book excerpt: When things turn deadly, who will she choose to help-- her friend or her lover? Fersia can't wait to start her new job in the laboratory. It'll be the perfect way to rekindle her relationship with Jocko. But there are strange things going on at the lab. Like odd noises coming from behind locked doors. Growls and cries but they don't sound like any animal she's ever heard. It makes her almost glad to be locked in the cage. And what's up with the shots the scientist is giving them? They're making Jocko sick but they're making her hungry. Starving. Ravenous for meat. Book two in the Chimera Chronicles is a stand-alone dystopian, genetic engineering story about human-animal hybrids. It’s urban fantasy/science fiction that’ll make you question who the real monsters are. Whether you’re an animal rights activist or just love your pets, this book will make you root for those in the laboratory.
