UPRISING TEASER
We left everything but the weapons. Clothes, food, toothpaste. There
wasn’t time for things that weren’t essential to escape. The five of us
went on foot in a direction that was meaningless to me. I had never seen
what was outside of the edges of the safe haven, not since I’d been
here.
When
Mac stopped abruptly after our fifteen-minute trek into the woods, we
all froze at once, bodies poised and ready to attack, eyes searching for
threats.
“We’re here,” Mac announced. “What should we expect Marcus?”
I
had never heard Dr. Nickel called by his first name, and it made me
realize he wasn’t as untouchable as I had imagined. Just because he was
here, didn’t mean we were safe.
“I don’t know,” he answered. “Maybe an army, maybe nothing. Depends on where they are.”
“Everyone best get down on the ground just in case,” Mac decided with a nod. “Weapons ready.”
As I lay belly down in the dirt, I noticed Dr. Nickel pull a gun from his belt, and my stomach gave a heave.
“When
I remove the haven walls, there will be a van. Everyone get in back. If
anything goes wrong…” Mac paused, uncomfortable at the thought. “It’s
been nice knowin’ ya.”
AUTHOR BIO
Jessica Therrien is the author of the young adult paranormal fiction series Children of the Gods. Book one in the series, Oppression,
was published by ZOVA Books in February of 2012 and became a Barnes
& Noble best-seller shortly after its release. The second book in
the series, Uprising, will be available in February of 2013.
Aside from her Children of the Gods series, Jessica’s work can also be found in a published collection of flash fiction stories called Campaigner Challenges 2011. Out of over 350 submissions her story, The Soulless, won
first place for people’s choice and fourth place in the judging round
of Rachael Harrie’s Writing Campaign Challenge. Her story, Saved, is also available as part of the anthology.
Jessica
spent most of her life in the small town of Chilcoot, California, high
up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In this town of nearly 100 residents,
with no street lights or grocery stores, there was little to do but
find ways to be creative. Her mother, the local English teacher,
inspired her to do all things artistic, and ultimately instilled in her a
love for language.
In
2003, Jessica attended California State University Long Beach where her
passion for language found her studying Chinese, and in 2005 she moved
to Taiwan to study abroad. From 2005 to 2006 Jessica was fully immersed
in the Chinese language as she attended National Taiwan University, and
in 2008 she graduated from San Diego State University magna cum laude.
Jessica currently lives in Chula Vista with her husband and is working on book three in her Children of the Gods series.

Thanks for posting the cover, Carrie! I can't wait to see the cover of STRENGTH...I'm DYING to see it. I'm going to have to go back to that color post...what was orange again?
...just looked it up the color thing. Yep...action, fire, energy. Exactly what to expect from this book :) Kind of cool!
So gorgeous! I love it!
I'm so excited for Uprising now! :) No problem, Jessica! I love how it fits in with the whole orange meaning thing. Too cool!
P.S. You won't have to wait much longer for the cover/trailer of Strength. 2.5 weeks! :D
I love the cover! The red contrasts well with the name of the book. I loved Oppressions cover too. Book cover designers are amazing these days. A book does sell a cover. Congrats, Jessica!
Lovely! :)

Very nice cover, Jessica. It sort of looks like you.
Great excerpt--and the cover is amazing!
I really do love Jessica's cover, and I wish her good luck with her new book!
I'll second the great cover comments. It's very EYE-catching. Good luck on this one!
Great cover. I love the colour, too! :)
I adore it. It's got a washed out, rustic feel to me. So beautiful.
Thanks for stopping by, guys! I couldn't agree with you more. Jessica's cover is gorgeous!
I totally thought dystopian just from the color orange. Then I read the blurb and thought: Carrie is a genius. And: I have to read this book!
Yay! Color cues. I love it. :D Thanks, Melodie!
