S.A. Hoag (goodreadscomsahoag) | 19 comments Ahhh, just got here and still figuring this out! My debut novel, The Vista: Book 1 of The Wildblood was released almost a year ago and book 2 is a WIP. It's a little sci-fi, action-adventure, post-apocalyptic, and dystopian (or utopian, depending on your perspective). #sciencefiction

I'll be giving away at least one eBook each day during the convention, so be sure to leave a comment somewhere so I can include you in the drawing.

Just for the fun of it, this is the Character Profile of my MC. Give it a look for some ideas about the series - Shannon Allen

S.A. Hoag (goodreadscomsahoag) | 19 comments The Vista: Book 1 of The Wildblood

2047. Civilization destroyed itself two decades ago. Humanity struggles on.

Part of the first generation post-World War 3, Allen, MacKenzie, and Wade are Team Three, Vista Security's top officers. They know they are different, far beyond their training. Genetically Enhanced humans were outlawed long before they were born. It's what they believe they are, the secret they try to contain.

Problem is, there's something out there, just beyond The Vista, watching them.

As Vista Security, they're sworn to protect; as Security Command, Team Three may be forced to break those oaths to save everything they've ever known.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The Vista: Book 1 of The Wildblood takes place in the near-future where the Earth has been mostly emptied of humans by a short and devastating war. Venturing beyond the safety of their valley may be the best move Security has ever made; it's absolutely the most dangerous.

S.A. Hoag (goodreadscomsahoag) | 19 comments Backlash
prequel to The Wildblood series

Before Team Three became Team Three, there was The Blackout.

Vista Security is used to the feral bands of human wandering the landscape since a brief and devastating war wiped away civilization. Sixteen years later, they've adapted to dealing with the challenges facing their safe haven.

That is, until a new threat appears, one they never expected and one they have little defense against. Security throws in everything they can muster; it quickly takes a toll. Their advantage - an untested team of officers barely more than children themselves; officers with dark secrets and a hidden agenda.

In a free-for-all battle to preserve one of the last sanctuaries of man, Team Three discovers their secrets are their strength and that their future will take them far beyond what they've ever known.

An Urban Mythos Novella
Pre-order Special price of 99 cents!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Lyra Alexander considers herself an archeologist, a job that normally wouldn't be very dramatic or dangerous. The problem with her job, however, is that she studies vampires. And they aren't too keen on being studied.

In this world, there are all kinds of creatures prowling in the night . . . Humans are no longer at the top of the food chain.

S.A. Hoag (goodreadscomsahoag) | 19 comments And those are the books! Renegades: Book 2 of The Wildblood will be out later this year. You can find these in other formats on my website (link in the first post), plus extras, snippets, and thoughts on the writing process at my blog and/or Facebook page (links also in the first post). I'll be giving away some ebooks this weekend. Not sponsored by Goodreads, by me, just drop me a note on FB, here, Twitter - you know the routine. Winners announced Monday (April 9).

S.A. Hoag (goodreadscomsahoag) | 19 comments Here's a question for you. What's your favorite book, fiction, and why?

Mine is The Stand, because all these years later, it still scares the daylights out of me!

Anthony Messina (wildwolf) I'm a big fan of post-apocalyptic and dystopian sci-fi. One of my favorite authors is Olaf Stapledon in this category. Who are your influences? I'd love to win a free book to add another author to my collection. :)

I don't think I could come up with one favorite. I used to be big into Stephen King, David Koontz and such, but none of them are ones I'd say are my fave. If I had to pick just one, it would be Isaac Asimov's Foundation or I, Robot.

S.A. Hoag (goodreadscomsahoag) | 19 comments My influences are Pournelle & Nivens, Brust and so many sci-fi writers. Music, too.

I just finished Grave Visions and am tossing up between reading Contract of Defiance and Hive & Heist.

What about you?
