About the Book
Authors: Sarah Daltry and Pete Clark
Synopsis: Not too long ago, in a town that, depending on your current location, is either not super far or actually quite close…
It is a time of chaotic hormones.
Two nerdy gents home for winter break have discovered a female gamer at a midnight release.
During
the break, the gamer trio manages to reveal the game’s secret boss, a
hidden enemy with enough power to destroy anything in its path.
Pursued
by other gamers who want to be the first to beat this boss, George and
Katie race to level up, and, in so doing, restore decency and sexual
activity to their personal galaxy…
About the Authors
Sarah Daltry
writes about the regular people who populate our lives. She's written
works in various genres - romance, erotica, fantasy, horror. Genre isn't
as important as telling a story about people and how their lives
unfold. Sarah tends to focus on YA/NA characters but she's been known to
shake it up. Most of her stories are about relationships - romantic,
familial, friendly - because love and empathy are the foundation of
life. It doesn't matter if the story is set in contemporary NY,
historical Britain, or a fantasy world in the future - human beings are
most interesting in the ways they interact with others. This is the
principle behind all of Sarah's stories.
Sarah
has spent most of her life in school, from her BA and MA in English and
writing to teaching both at the high school and college level. She also
loves studying art history and really anything because learning is fun.
When
Sarah isn't writing, she tends to waste a lot of time checking Facebook
for pictures of cats, shooting virtual zombies, and simply staring out
the window.
She has written several books, most notably Bitter Fruits, an urban fantasy in the Eden’s Fall series, and the Flowering series, including Forget Me Not, Lily of the Valley, and Star of Bethlehem.
Pete Clark likes writing, animals, potato chips, and cheese. Midnight Riders is his first published novel, although he can also proudly say he finally finished Helix Crashing, the fantasy novel he has been working on for over a decade. In addition, he has written Across the Barren Landscape, a collection of linked Western short stories. He also writes plays, both dramatic and comedic.
When he is not writing, Pete tends to ignore everyone around him and obsess over sports.
