The anthology is a collection of stories by my critique group. And then of course, things go horribly, horribly wrong. The hero, Shawna, is a teen girl who steps in to take her brother’s place when he falls ill and can’t hunt the dogs anymore. Mutant dogs now rule the cities, and people are struggling to survive. It’s called Man’s Best Enemy, and it’s set in a post-apocalyptic Atlanta after a viral outbreak kills off most of the county. Would you mind giving us a synopsis of this tale and how you found yourself included here? You also have a story included in the recently published anthology, Eight Against Reality. It’s complete and with my editor, and I expect to get my revision letter to start on edits any day now. Nya discovers that the Baseeri aren’t any better off than her people, and she gets pulled into the growing rebellion there.Īnd where are you with the final book in the series? They get out, but not in the way they’d hoped and wind up in the enemy city of Baseer. Nya and her friends are on the run, hiding from soldiers and the Duke’s trackers, and they realize the best way to stay safe is to leave Geveg. The story picks up a month after The Shifter ends. Would you mind explaining what this latest entry happens to be about? It appears now the second book, Blue Fire, has just been published. Last time we crossed paths you had just published your first book, The Shifter, which also happened to be the first book in The Healing Wars trilogy. I was happy to be one of the stops on her impressive blog tour. Her second book in the series, Blue Fire, has just been published and she’s currently in promotion mode. Here is another interview I did with Janice Hardy, author of The Healing Wars trilogy.
