As irony would have it, it was 8 years ago today that Crossroad Press re-released my earliest novels, The Genesis Code and The Janus Legacy (after my prior publisher ceased operations). Crossroad published my most recent novel, Scorched Earth, in August 2019. Ravenna took a while for me to write, for various reasons I’ve talked about in this blog. And she’s finally seeing the light of day! Hit the road, Ravenna…I’d wish her safe travels, but her travels were anything but safe.

______________
In the not-too-distant future, climate change wreaks havoc on agriculture, the economy, public health, and the very fabric of society. Everything is in short supply: food, water, money—and hope.
Convicted of a murder she did not commit, Ravenna opts for a work-based diversion program in place of prison time. She becomes a first responder in Chicago’s toughest and most desperate section. She faces violence, suicides, and danger on every shift.
One day, Ravenna learns the immense personal sacrifice that led to her conviction was in vain. The discovery drives her to take a risky leap. Determined to make a new life for herself one way or the other, she meticulously plans her escape to Mexico, then sets out on the road.
But she encounters far worse obstacles and dangers than she imagined—and there’s no turning back. Her plan in tatters, she has to find a way to reach a safe place to start over.
Will the road be Ravenna’s salvation—or her undoing?
