YOU'VE BEEN REPLACED.

Leona lives a life of privilege, while Roemell never knows where his next meal will come from. A terrorist group—the lurch—starts targeting wealthy estates, burning them to the ground. Leona and Roemell find themselves thrown together, both having lost everything dear to them. Will they be able to stop the terrorists, or will all of humanity get left in the lurch?
I kicked around the idea of writing a book featuring robots for quite a while but didn’t want to derail the project I was already working on. When November came around, I planned to participate in NaNoWriMo 2017, but more than that, I wanted to win. Instead of continuing a half-written manuscript, I decided to start fresh. Since I was so excited about this story, I easily swept past the 50,000-word goal, finishing the first draft in early December.
