BROKEN: An announcement

Big, exciting happenings in the Candlemark & Gleam world! We’ve just acquired a new manuscript – Broken, by Susan J. Bigelow.

It couldn’t have a more appropriate title. Broken is a story about a broken woman, a broken society, a broken world, and it’s heartbreaking to boot. It’s a gripping debut…and it is a debut. There’s more to come from Susan, and it’s all going to be great.

If you’re looking for something different for your reading list, Broken is going to be it. It’s a dystopian superhero novel. Yes, you read that right.

Dystopia + superheroes = awesome.

In a post-war future world where First Contact has been made, humans are colonizing the stars, and the nations of Earth have been united under a central government, Extrahumans are required by law to belong to the Union. When a young man with visions of the future sets out on a mission to define the course of human history, he encounters a devastated former hero, a fascist dictatorship bent on world domination, and the realities of living in a society where affiliation is everything.

It’s dark, it’s fast-paced, it’s powerful, and it’s all too human.

You’re gonna love it.

Broken. Coming in January 2011 from Candlemark & Gleam!
