Provoke Not The Children

Book Description:

In the United States, in the not-too-distant future, Americans are focused on one thing to the exclusion of all else: self-maximization.

When Chase uncovers widespread child abuse, the Government is forced to admit failure and shut down the Proxy Industry. All children under the age of eighteen are sent to a remote facility to be indoctrinated and reprogrammed to populate a new, functional society. Three years later, the first group of "children" return very much changed....

Nice - PNTC is a submission in the 2014 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards competition. Today was the first round cut and I'm pretty pumped up that it made it to round two. Round 1 was judged on just a 300 word pitch. Round two will be the first 3-5,000 words. That is the first four chapters of PNTC.

Congrats Michael. Well done. Terri

Thanks Terri!
