Weekend Briefing: Book Launch
Welcome back, agents. July 4th, we celebrate two great things. America's birthday and freedom. We can celebrate Echoes of Summer on Monday. Probably thought I was going to say something egotistical, didn't you? But America is far more important.
That is why I celebrate it by releasing a book on July 4th, but I don't want you to celebrate it till the 5th. Which, ironically, is when I'm going to do most of the celebrating for the 4th because the 4th is supposed to be a weekday, so I'm severely wanked up. But at least I'm free.
Anyway, many thanks to everyone who helped to get America this far. And many boo hisses to those who want to tear it down. It's not perfect, but it's better so many nations, so there's that.
It's nice to be able to do things like write whatever I want, publish it, and then not got to jail. And be able to make my own way in the world and stand or fall on my own merits. So allow me to re-introduce my latest to you.
Violet is only just now acclimating to her team when she's assigned her first solo mission. Which is good, because she and Alex need some distance.
She has no time for her newly re-instated best friend's worries about the possibility that she may or may not have been attacked by Dr. Earnestine and injected with something that could possibly alter her DNA. Violet is ready for some time away to focus on a mission and not on her own confusing feelings. But her mission unearths a different set of feelings.
Assigned to protect a recently orphaned young heiress, Violet must ensure that nothing happens that will send the money to the next in line- namely, the nefarious Mr. Columbus. Who has sent his son to 'pay his respects' - and woo the girl whose stipulation to inheritance is marriage. But the presence of Jeremy makes things a bit more complicated for Violet, since she's supposed to be in deep cover, and they've locked lips more than once. Also making it a bit awkward is the possibility that another Peacemaker may also be undercover as a potential suitor on a different mission. Oh, and there's also a wannabe killer on the loose who could be anyone.
But it's nothing that Violet can't handle. That is, if she can figure out exactly what it is Dr. Earnestine did to her, and why he's always in her head . . .

The world is reeling from the near-apocalypse of the Dystopian Takeover that was only just averted by a motley crew of teenagers, including Violet Strokes.
Violet now finds herself recruited by a special opps team- Code Name Peacemakers- to train to prevent future takeovers from ever happening along with some of the other teenage heroes. Which would be a lot easier if she weren't struggling to hide her emotional and physical wounds of the last takeover, or if everyone else on the team weren't spoiled rich kids (minus one mild-mannered superhuman named Tim).
It certainly doesn't help that one of the other teenagers on the team is her long-lost childhood friend- and the son of the villains of the Dystopian Takeover- Alexander Franklin III, who is insistent that they rekindle their friendship. On top of it all, every turn she takes, she seems run into another boy from her past- with what may be an even more sinister family legacy...
Somehow, though, Violet, Alex, and the rest of the team need to figure out how to work together to protect the world from itself. That is, if Violet can stop the takeover that is going on in her very mind...
