What an intriguing excerpt! I'm not a great reader of paranormal or futuristic ( but never say never, till few months ago I couldn't stand vamp romance, and nw I'm addicted!), but your books have something very alluring, something deeper that calls to me. I once read a book by Dara Joy, about an alternate reality ruled by a matriachy, and I found it refreshing. The impression that I got from the "appetizer" you gave us is of something new,yes, but even more complicated, more engaging on an intellectual and emotional level, that somehow echoes some great pieces of litterature and cinematography. Probably I've built up a castle of it, but I must confess I'm really really curious and eager to learn what caused the pestilences!

Thank you Tracy for this lovely occasion!
