Hi again — thanks so much for posting info on my March release! I thought I’d give you a little more background…like Michelle Maddox, I sold this book on proposal and I’m still writing it. This is my first book for Dorchester, and I am thrilled that my book is in the SHOMI line.
I think of Netherworld as a futuristic Robin Hood story. Talia Fortune is an intergalactic sheriff with a lot to prove – she is the chief shareholder of world corporation FortuneCorp and has lived in the shadow of the company’s founder, Violet Fortune, all her life. She’s come to the planet of Fresh Havens to make her name and cover herself in glory.
Unfortunately, Fresh Havens is no paradise – it’s more like a carnivorous plant hungry for its next human sacrifice. She finds an outpost of human rebels hiding in the Gray Forest, a dark and primeval jungle filled with sentient swarms of bugs and wracked by magnetic storms. Talia’s hunting a cyber outlaw named Kovner, a/k/a The Avenger. And what she discovers when she finds him destroys her world and everything she thought she knew about herself.
I have a question for the readers of this blog…we’re considering a title change to Netherwood, in order to highlight the links between the Gray Forest, Sherwood, and the cyber underworld where Talia hunts Kovner. I love both titles, and think Netherwood is haunting and evocative. What do you guys think?
Happy 4th!
Michele
