Rupture
Book One Transhuman Warrior Series
By
Curtis Hox
Genre:
YA Dystopian Fantasy
Simone Wellborn is a Transhuman with an attitude. She’s been
genetically engineered from birth to be super smart. The problem? All that
tinkering her parents paid top dollar for provided a few unexpected results,
like an annoying ability to blast telekinetic energy at the worst possible
times. She also has another tricky issue: strange entities possess her and,
worse, transform her into something dangerous.
Simone's mother sends her to the Sterling School for reject Transhumans. While
there, she meets a few other students with similar problems. They’re all
Transhumans with dirty secrets. Heartthrob Hutto Toth is a charming gladiator.
He annoys Simone from day one, but he’s also a Werebear who accidentally killed
a boy in a glad match, and Simone can’t stand how much she likes him. There’s
two-foot tall Wally Dorsey, who’s determined to pilot a personalized mech. His
best friend, Beasley Gardner, is a mountain of a young girl with enough
muscle to beat up any boy at school, but she’s suffers from a rage disorder.
Finally, Simone meets Kimberlee Newkirk, an unassuming Succubus who fears
she’ll kill the next boy she kisses.
These defective students find themselves at the center of a deadly conflict
when another student, Joss Beckwith, attracts a Rogue Artificial Intelligence,
the new power brokers in a society radically changed by science and
technology.
The Transhuman Warrior Series tells the story of Simone and her friends as
they’re transformed into highly specialized human weapons. They must challenge
the increasing power of the Rogues as these enemies push into Realspace with
one goal in mind: total domination.

About

A little
about me:
I’ve
written six unpublished contemporary, literary science fantasy novels in the
last decade, all of which I finished and promptly put away. I didn’t even let
my wife read one until this year. (I know, ultra critical and self
defeating as hell, but that’s me.) I did rounds of agent hunting with little
luck, and since everyone is talking about epublishing, I thought I’d give it a
try by writing a series of three YA novels with all the juicy stuff I love from
Sci Fi and Fantasy and just have fun with it. I’m also forcing myself to be
open to everything that goes along with the business side of marketing
without griping, “Frack it! I just want to write.” So this site will, at first,
probably be a bit about process, plus be a place for me to explore ideas
related to my projects. Then, if all goes well, a way to market my novels.
As of now,
we’ve soft launched Bleedover, a contemporary science fantasy novel
I wrote a few years ago. We’re using it to learn the marketing side, while I
finish working with an editor on the first three books in my Transhuman Warrior Series,
the fun YA novels I wrote last summer. These have all been drafted, with
covers. And Rupture (Book One
in the Transhuman Warrior Series) is
in round two of the edits.
