When a power outage in her neighborhood lasts for days, not hours, Amber starts to wonder if the blackout will last forever. Months go by and her sixteenth birthday is completely different from anything she ever imagined it would be. Then, the government comes to take charge. However, what she hears from the authorities doesn’t match what she knows from the outside world. Can she find out the truth in time?
My second novel was published Aug. 25, 2020! Life After is a young adult/middle grade dystopian novel about life after a solar flare takes out the power for most of the U.S. Amber is only 15 when it happens and the book explores what her neighborhood does to survive. Then, she gets the chance to work for the government in a compound with power. Everything there is not what it seems to be.
Life After is the very first novel I ever completed. The Ring (my first published novel) was the first one I started about 10 years ago. I had lost the original file, though, so I had to start it over later. I learned a lot about writing a book while writing Life After and it needed to be reworked and edited a lot. That’s why it’s the second book to be released.
If you read either Life After or The Ring, I would greatly appreciate if you could post an Amazon review of the book. I need about 10 more for The Ring and 50 for Life After!
My third novel will be published next year … more details coming out on that one soon! It’s a young adult/middle grade fantasy novel.
I was able to participate in the Virtual Ohioana Book Festival by doing a pre-recorded panel with romance authors called Love is Complicated. It will be released on Saturday, Aug. 29, at 5 p.m. For more details, visit http://www.ohioana.org/programs/ohioana-book-festival/schedule/. My author page for the event is here: https://www.bookloft.com/sarah-anne-carter-0.
I also plan to sell both books at an upcoming local craft fair and help a local school with a creative writing club. It’s nice to start having some events back on, even if some are virtual.
My current projects are working on a children’s book about the Catholic mass, helping a local family write a story about their daughter’s life and edits for next year’s book.
