Here at Down
Under Wondering's I love to bring you the latest releases hot off the press,
and today is no different.
Before I
bring you the cover reveal for Suspected, Book 2 in the Elected Series, it
would only be right to give you a taster of Book 1 - Elected!

It’s the year
2185, and in two weeks, Aloy will turn eighteen and take her father’s place as
president of the country. But to do so, she must masquerade as a boy to avoid
violating the Eco-Accords, four treaties designed to bring the world back from
the effects of climate change. Aloy hopes to govern like her father, but she is
inheriting a different country where long-concealed political enemies are
stepping out of the shadows.
As she struggles to lead, Aloy maintains her cover by marrying a woman,
meanwhile battling feelings for the boy who knows her secret – the boy who is
somehow connected to her country’s recent upheaval. When assassination attempts
add to the turmoil, Aloy doesn’t know whom to trust. She understood leadership
required sacrifice. She just didn’t realize the sacrifice might be her life.
ELECTED is a coming of age story, mixing the themes of gender,
politics, environmentalism, and above all – love.

East Country
upheld the laws. Mid destroyed them.
In the year
2185 Earth is rebuilding after climate change created a global eco-crisis.
Countries maintain complete isolation so there is no warfare over scarce
resources. One Elected family is chosen to lead each country for 100 years to ensure
stability. Women aren't allowed to take office and must reproduce at all costs.
Technology use of any kind is banned to preserve what's left of the
environment.
And yet, I'm my country's Elected. I've just sanctioned technology use
to ready us for war. I'm about to cross the border to spy on our neighbor. And...I'm a girl.
Shhhh...
