My name is Dawn Nolan, and I’ve grown up on the streets of military-controlled London. The one person in my life I could always count on has been taken from me. Gabby is combative, pushy, a real pain — but she’s the reason I’ve survived this long.
She’s my sister. And now she’s gone.
Criminals are sent to the colonies to work as slaves for the rest of their lives. There is no escape. I only know that it’s a savage place, not a place for a teenage girl from the wrong side of London.
I might die trying. I’ll probably never see London again. But they’ve taken my sister, and I’m going to get her back.

In 2023, the innovative MultiMind Corporation (MMC) released a stylish Wristcuff to be worn over a microchip implanted beneath its host’s skin, giving the wearer pleasant dreams. Better sleep promotes a peaceful lifestyle and improved health. At least this is what the MMC have the population believing. There are those for whom this technology fails to work: Dreamers. They’re shunned because of their inability to adapt and evolve like the rest of the human race.
Amelia is a Dreamer, and the veil of ignorance is lifted when she meets someone who helps her see through the lies and secrets of the MMC. With her world shaken and changed, Amelia has to decide whether to fight for the freedom to dream or take the ‘next step in evolution’ with the rest of society at the risk of losing her ability to think and dream for herself.
Join Amelia on this science fiction adventure set in the future.
Warning: Adventure, action, science fiction, relationships, manipulation and mind control.

About the Author
As a writer, I lead an extremely exciting life. When I'm not base jumping, playing my guitar and singing for a sold-out crowd, or having tea with the queen... Okay, all of these things are lies.
The truth is, I live on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, with my husband and son and you'll most likely find me with my laptop on my lap and a coffee in my hand.
Muttering and mumbles will come from my lips as I ask my characters to stop being difficult, and I won't even notice you've entered the room because I will be in my own little world. Only when I finally tear my eyes away from my screen would I notice there is a stranger in my living room and begin to wonder what you're doing there in the first place.
So to prevent any heart attacks, I ask that all stalkers please refrain from coming to my house. Thank you in advance. If you do have stalkerish tendencies and would like to follow me, you're more than welcome to below:

Acknowledgements
I'd first and foremost like to thank my dear friend, Sarah, for being my best and worst critic. Without you, I wouldn't have gotten past the first draft. I certainly wouldn't have thought about actually publishing my work. So, thank you. I love you, but I hate your red pen.
I also need to thank the many family and friends who took time out of their lives to give my book a read and give me constructive feedback. My book was made better because of you.
I also want to thank Lori from Wicked Book Covers for finding the perfect Allira for my cover and doing such a wonderful job at putting it together.
Lastly, I want to thank my husband for understanding that sometimes the housework doesn't get done because my characters won't behave and cooperate with me. I also need to thank him for bringing a pen and paper into the bathroom and jotting down ideas for me while I'm in the shower (the place I seem to get most of my ideas). Your support has allowed me to chase my dream, and I'm so happy I get to spend my life with you. I love you.
