Nine years after her father disappeared at the time of the great Techno-Crash, Percy's quiet life with her mother is shaken when she receives a birthday gift from him.

Though her mother distrusts technology, Percy loves her new electronic journal. She names it the "Pomegranate" but is frustrated by its missing password. On the advice of her friend, Jessie, she seeks help from the instructor of an underground computer class.

Mr. Hayden replaces the journal's program, and it works, but something is still wrong. Its guide dog, Byte, is asking a lot of personal questions about Percy's family, and he knows things that Percy has never revealed to anyone.

About the Author

As a child growing up in cozy little town on the Missouri River of South Dakota, Lynda explored her early passion for writing and art by creating stories and poems. She even attempted one novel on theme paper and kept it carefully hidden on
a high dusty shelf in her bedroom.

A resident of Arizona for many years now, she lives with her husband and their black and white cat, Topper. Two grown-up daughters have homes and families of their own in other places.

With two degrees in Elementary Ed, Lynda loved teaching in grades 1,2,3,4, and 5 of public schools for twenty-one years. Even after retirement she continued to work with students in a reading intervention program.

...And throughout her adult life she wrote, painted, and revised her stories. At last, she began to realize that she owned a desk full of ideas, problems, and children who lived only in her imagination.

Lynda decided that books without readers were a waste of her joy and inspiration!

Ebooks offered an audience, and completed the communication cycle that sometimes had begun with a germ of an idea many years before. Seven of these have been published, and most of them are available on this market.

Lynda is working on three more, but just like the young readers in her audience, the stories are still growing and changing.
