6-The Revolution of 2060 Here's the set-up for The Shifters of 2040, from which today's excerpt is taken: America 2040. Three Species. Divided Lovers. The Race is on for Planet Earth.
Set in Alaska in 2040, Melissa Marn and Bruce Wilder must work under the iron fist of the SCM, while still trying to maintain humanity. Discovering a world of shifters and hybrids, the scientists must struggle with human prejudice and betrayal. With the original ancestors, dubbed shifters, still living on earth, humans are in the midst of a fifteen-year-old war. As the eldest hybrids, Unseen and Diamond, learn about humans the hard way, with the loss of loved ones and sacrifices, love on planet earth proves challenging.
With underlying themes of how prejudice breaks human connections and animal/wildlife conservation, this novel-- which has received rave review-- will leave the reader flipping through the pages.From the reviewers: "I found this to be a compelling read. The story line is exciting and contains many elements to make it believable. You can tell that the author has done her research well. She writes her characters well... I highly recommend this series. It is very interesting." -Alaska Book Cafe "This is the story of choices, consequences, desire, fear, hatred, power, control, passion, love, and sacrifice. The emotional intensity of the characters as they deal with their lives is amazing. The theme that children are the future is paramount in this story. This was my first Ami Blackwelder shifter read and I can't wait to read the rest of the series! My only question now is: Do I start with the past and read 2020 or do I look to the future and read 2060? Don't miss the rest of The Shifter Evolutions series!" - Beverly @goodreads"When faced by another species that is fully sapient, the definition of humanity comes into question. "The Shifters of 2040" is another entry in a continuing series from Ami Blackwelder as she focuses on prejudice and racism in the bigger picture, as an alien species comes to earth for help and hybrids of humans and the alien species begin to appear. With a riveting debate blended into science fiction, "The Shifters of 2040" is an excellent read that shouldn't be overlooked by science fiction fans." -Micah @MidWest Book Reviews |

Free Kindle Nation Shorts - January 11, 2012 An Excerpt from The Shifters of 2040 Book 3 of the Shifter Dystopian Evolutions Saga By Ami Blackwelder Copyright © 2012 by Ami Blackwelder and published here with her permission
| Breathless Pushing the loose strands of her mocha colored hair away from her cheek, Melissa fixed them behind her ear. Rose colored lipstick and peach blush hid the lack of sleep. Thick mascara and a well groomed manicure helped distract her from a life she didn't want to remember. Her tightened lips loosened as she repositioned herself in her red satin two piece dress on the sticky bar stool at Kino's Bar in Alaska. Along the coast of Anchorage near the Gulf of Alaska, the bar sat where the sky bleeds with the ocean. In this moment she would be someone else, far from everything she had become. Today, Saturday, she could be anyone: someone desired, someone emotional, someone free. Anyone she wanted to be. Knocking down a beer, she signaled to the bartender to give her another. As the beer slid down the counter and snug into her palm, she tilted her head upward. Drawing the cold rim of the mug to her lips felt so...wrong, right...rebellious, delicious. She longed for time to herself. A moment of pleasure, a guiltless night. No one respectable from SCM came to this part of town. But no one else at SCM had to deal with as much. Tilting her head right, her dark locks cascaded around her face, accenting the oval shape. She blushed for a brief moment when she noticed an attractive man on the stool next to her. The stranger's long lashes flitted over his deep chocolate eyes, elegant nose, and thin lips. His tall figure towered over her, even when sitting. His lean fingers reached for the jug of beer in front of him and as the foam bubbled over the jug's edges, he chugged down the alcohol in a few heavy gulps. To Melissa's military trained mind, his alabaster coloring indicated he didn't get out of Alaska often. She wanted that. Needed that. Someone wholesome with Alaskan values. Risking another glance out of the corner of her eye, she caught him watching her reflection in the mirror over the bar. Knowing he'd been discovered, he swiveled toward her, his knees brushing against her leg. "What's your name?" the stranger asked with an accent that didn't quite fit. His rich voice rolled over her like fog on a bayou, covering every inch of her skin, pulling her in. |
