When We Were Forgotten
***Winner of the 2018 Bronze Medal for Best Sci-fi/Fantasy/Horror E-book, Independent Publisher Book (IPPY) Awards***
Amelia Earhart’s dream of being an astronaut comes true when she’s hired as the new world government’s weather mapper on a space station in near-Earth orbit. As she tries to save innocent lives from the effects of rapid climate change, she soon discovers the many obstacles that could hinder the success of her missions—both official and secret. She watches from space as the world crumbles under the destructive hands of Mother Nature and angry citizens rioting against their tyrannical government. When communications with the ground grow spotty and close friends turn out to be foes, Amelia learns the one life in most need of saving could be her own.
In this near future dystopia, Amanda Cook weaves together the story of one woman desperate to protect the people she loves while trying to survive a world threatened by both climate change and a government bent on shaping everyone’s wills to its own.

About the author
Amanda Cook
2 books28 followersAmanda Cook is a stay-at-home-mom and writer living in the rolling hills of southern Indiana. When she’s not caring for her family or obsessing over punctuation, she can be found helping out at her sons' school, catching up on her Goodreads list, playing (and sometimes winning, but mostly losing) board games with her friends, crying over her favorite PBS programs, or creating yet another cosplay for the local gaming/pop culture convention, where she’ll probably lose at even more board games. The Golden Orb, her first novel, was published in 2014. When We Were Forgotten, her second novel, was published in September, 2017. It won the Bronze Medal for Best Sci-fi/Fantasy/Horror E-Book from the Independent Publisher Book (IPPY) Awards in 2018.

One of the...actually, there were several things I liked about this book. I liked how the romantic subplot turned out, but I won't tell you what that is :) What I really liked was how the story turned around women. It's not that there aren't male characters, and or that they're not important to the plot or to the protagonist's journey. But the women are where everything's at: the action, the emotion, the themes. I really appreciate that.
It also got me thinking about what it might be like to be trapped on a space station with the supplies running out and no way to leave. Now I have something new to be afraid of.
