The Southron Deception – J.L. Birchwood 


 

The year is 2085

In the Southron Union, a breakaway autonomous region of the former United States, climate change steals more of the South with each passing day, shrinking the coastlines and leaving behind an ocean of sand in its wake. Ruled by a man known only as The General, a charismatic leader who rose to power following a military coup, life here is a brutal convergence of violence and starvation.

Tasha Strong enjoyed a privileged existence. She had food to eat. A roof over her head. Water flowed freely from the tap. After being hand-selected for a top job by The General, she met Derik, a devastatingly handsome bodyguard, and the final piece of her perfect life clicked into place. At least for a time.

When a terrorist’s bomb detonates during The Union’s independence day celebration, Tasha Strong’s world is turned upside-down, forcing the formerly naïve, pampered young woman to embark on a quest to expose the insurgents responsible and bring them to justice.

Every step Tasha takes to unravel the mystery of the bombing reveals unexpected truths, destroying the illusion of The Union, and imploding the delusion of her idyllic life.

Biography: J.L. Birchwood is a mild-mannered scientist by day and weekend novelist living on the Eastern Seaboard with her husband of 30 years. She enjoys the outdoors, playing music, British humor, musical theater, cooking, and banging her head at righteous heavy metal festivals. You can often find her at her tiny writing desk or surveying scientific journals for her next book. If you see her out there, say "Hi!" She's ridiculous.
