Back Page Blurb for The Deep Tunnel

The Deep Tunnel is grinding it's way toward publication. My distributor thinks the first 100 pages are a bit slow so, once I get the comments back, I can tidy that up. After that (I hope!) we are off to the races!

In the meantime, I have finally figured out some back page language for the book. Drafting it has been almost as difficult as writing the novel in the first place! Anyway, here it is. Subject, as always, to me changing my mind....

Having foiled an alien invasion with the help of some very out-of-town friends, Andromeda Brown’s seventh grade future looks set: boredom at school, hi-tech help with her homework, and – hopefully – only modest amounts of detention. The world, however, has other ideas. A grisly death in the Chicago sewers can mean only one thing. The alien Kulrada are back. Even worse, her father has decided she needs a nanny. A human nanny would be bad enough, but no human being would wear so much beige. Andromeda’s nanny is totally a Kulrada robot. Not knowing what she looks like, the nannybot must have been searching for her all summer, and now, somehow, it’s cooking dinner in her kitchen. If Andromeda lays low, her out-of-town friends will be unable to stop alien invasion 2.0. If she tries to do something, her cover will be blown, and the nannybot will tear Andromeda and everyone she knows to pieces. Andromeda’s life has once again become impossibly complicated. And that’s not even counting the sudden rash of earthquakes.
