Hi Monica,
'Someday' is a prequel novella being published in aid of 'Aid to the Church in Need', with an introduction by Ann Widdecombe, and a foreword by Ignatius Kaigama, Archbishop of Los, Nigeria. Here's a blurb:
Ruth and Gemma have a Physics exam in the morning.
Becky and Allelluia are revising for their A Levels.
So it’s an absolute nightmare to be woken by the fire alarm in the dead of the night.
But for them, and for 272 other girls from Chisbrook Hall girls’ boarding school, the real nightmare is just beginning.
Because ‘al-Qabda’ are taking them all away.
Whether they want to go or not.
As you can probably guess from that, it's a re-telling of the kidnapping of the Chibok schoolgirls, set in the UK.
The full length novels in the series follow the non-schoolgirl characters from the novella (plus one of the ones who escapes) during an 'al-Qabda' attempt to take over the UK. So it's quite topical! Here's a blurb for 'Tomorrow's Dead':
It’s a beautiful summer morning.
A normal day.
Teresa Seale is looking after a vulnerable child.
John and James Almara are on their way to school.
Sam Worthingham is still in bed after a late night of essay-writing.
Isaar and Rishad Iqbal are making their breakfast.
Jasper Tregorian is foraging for his along the hedgerows.
Then their world changes forever in a haze of smoke and gunfire.
Surrounded by black flags, they just want to survive.
But soon they must choose whether to be live cowards –
or risk becoming dead heroes.
