1. New Reality: Truth

   About New Reality: Truth:

   When New Reality, a fully immersive, five-dimensional entertainment experience, was introduced to the world, everyone logged on.

   Everyone except Jake and Tom.

   It doesn’t take long for the world to crumble into ruin, leaving Jake and Tom wandering through leveled cities occupied by New Reality dreamers. In order to find one gamer among many, they must risk everything—going up against Rixon, the corporation behind New Reality.

   Facing starvation, the New Reality headsets offer sustenance from a synthesized sludge pumped directly into the gamer’s body. With a headset, they’ll get fed and their only limitations are their own imaginations. They can have paradise, comfort, and peace. They have the power to realize their deepest desires.

   But for Tom, it’ll mean sacrificing his son to the false reality masterminded by Rixon. For Jake, it’ll mean sacrificing his dream of living a true existence, no matter how stark.

   Wrestling with the decision, they soon find out they aren’t the only ones living in the ruins. Someone… something else, has taken an interest in the pair.

   Turning from scavengers to prey, they have to make a decision. Family or self? Faith or fear? Truth or New Reality?

   Author Bio:
   A founding member of Sisters in Crime Columbus, Ohio (affectionately dubbed SiCCO), Mercedes King can be found elbow-deep in research, reading, or enjoying the local bike path. Her love for chocolate chip cookies and cheesecake almost rivals her love for dogs. Almost.

   With a degree in Criminology, she enjoys mixing her interests in history, crime, and pop culture. O! JACKIE, her first release, provides a fictional take on Jackie Kennedy and her private life–and how she dealt with JFK’s affairs, including his trysts with Marilyn Monroe. And since she can’t get enough Kennedys, she created a series of short stories that focus on Jack and Jackie before their marriage, and before ‘Camelot’. THE KENNEDY CHRONICLES offer fictional, brief peeks into their lives.

   Her newest release, PLANTATION NATION, follows Emma Cartwright, a 16 year old girl who disguises as a young man and joins the Union Army–and falls in love for the first time.

   You can find Mercedes King on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
