Greener

by Heather S. Ransom

Overview

Calyssa’s new life seems to be everything she could hope for – she got her cellular enhancement surgery, she’s nailing her first term at the University of SciCity, and she nabbed the internship at her father’s genetic engineering corporation. She should be happy.

But Lyssa can’t forget what she witnessed last spring, and investigating the cover-up gets her caught in the Green vs. non-Green crossfire. When tragedy strikes, it tests her belief in her family, her friends, and her society, but most importantly, her belief in herself.

About the Author

Life as a middle school science teacher for twenty-four years has allowed Heather an intimate look into the minds of thousands of young adults, most of whom are desperate to find their place in a society constantly changing around them. Many have found escape, ideas for facing challenges, or simply hope for a future where they can make a difference, through reading. So every year, even though she's teaching science, Heather has her classes read. And they imagine together what their futures might hold, telling stories about advances in technology that could change their world.

Heather grew up in a family that loved stories. Her mom told incredible, fanciful adventures where she, along with her brother and sister, lived in a pond with tadpoles, or traveled across the dusty hills as Native Americans, or howled at the moon with the coyotes. As her mom told these stories, Heather became the character. She felt the water moving through her gills as she swam with Wally Wadpole. She tasted the dust in her mouth while riding her horse, Many Moons, on the hunt to bring back food to her tribe. She heard the coyotes calling her to come play, long after the stories were over. Heather fell in love with a good story, one that immersed her in a world that felt so real she never wanted to leave. This is what she hopes to bring to her readers.

When not teaching or writing, Heather enjoys spending time with the man of her dreams, Marv, and their two absolutely amazing adult kids, Danielle and Marvin. Living in Grants Pass, Oregon, affords her the luxury of ample opportunities in the amazing outdoors, as well as helping out at their local businesses, a pizza pub and cigar shop. "Every day brings a new adventure. Dream the dream you want, then find the way to make it happen."

Editorial Reviews

“Back in the Green world and immediately thrust on an emotional rollercoaster, I couldn't put this book down. Intense and addictive ... the shocks and twists just keep coming!”

-Tyler Durman

author of Counterintuitive, What 4 Million Teenagers Wish We Knew and Birthday Suit

“Greener is a rare treat, a sequel that surpasses the first book and leaves you wanting more.”

-Karen Eisenbrey

author of Daughter of Magic and The Gospel According to St. Rage

“A masterpiece of love and loss, friendship and betrayal in a tense, fast-paced and twisting story that challenges the prejudices between nature and science, and the tragic consequences of fanaticism on both sides. Brilliantly written, this story made me laugh, made me cry, and made me think.”

-Mikko Azul

author of The Staff of Fire and Bone

"The future may not be so bright for the citizens of Sci City - more like the school of hard knocks. Our genetically modified heroine isn't sure who she can trust in this, another nail-biter from Heather Ransom.

- Micayla Lally

author of A Work Of Art
