Synopsis

Beneath the park bench, a young girl cries for help, her voice a cold hand on Vanessa’s throat. “Please,” the girl whispers, a tear trickling down her battered face. Vanessa glances at the empty square. A piece of trash tumbles. A bird settles in a tree. Then there is silence — no voice, no wind, no movement. It’s as if the world is waiting. The naked girl is desperate, but compassion for the Fallen is never forgiven. Vanessa’s hesitation is her undoing. Unbeknownst to her, Lewis is still haunted by her thick, auburn hair, serious eyes, and mocking laughter. She is the symbol of all he hates and her interaction with the girl is what he needs to gain control of the virus. Originally developed to save mankind from itself, the virus can be used to create a slave race. When it is released, Lewis will have his revenge. As his plan unfolds, Vanessa is forced to flee. Escaping through the sewer, she finds love, heartbreak, and the red beam of a gun sight dancing on the slick, black wall. In the deep dark of the foul pipe, she also discovers she has been betrayed. That’s when she learns Texas is real. Pipe Dreams is a dystopian novel set in the near future. If gene splicing could merge Margaret Atwood and Suzanne Collins, the resulting author might write this book. 25% of sales for this book will go toward helping other authors and artists achieve their dreams.

About this title

From the Author:

Pipe Dreams is a complete departure from Shaping Destiny and I had more fun writing it than I've had in years. It was supposed to just be a fun read, but along the way the characters revealed something important. Our individual pursuit of dreams affects our collective reality. We can never give up.

About the Author:

Destiny Allison writes books that stay with you long after you've finished reading them. If you're looking for a good romance, a fast who done it, or a fun, sci-fi adventure,you might consider looking elsewhere. While Destiny loves to read them, she doesn't write them. Instead, she pulls the best elements from each, adds fresh ideas, raw emotions, and powerful imagery to create characters and stories you won't forget.
She lives in Santa Fe, NM with her husband and dogs, alternately missing and celebrating her three grown sons.
