Book Description
The author who introduced us to Drewcilia Qwah in Queen of Denial, now presents us RJ, an in-your-face rebel leader, in Chains of Freedom, the first title of the Chains trilogy. RJ, like Drew, is a strong heroine and leader, but unlike Drew, knows how to get her point across without colorful language. She is a woman of few words; her style of communication involves the use of a chain and blaster. When political prisoner David Grant ran from the forced labor camp where he'd been imprisoned, his only thought was of escape. However fate turns its hand, and as he runs blindly through the forest he literally runs into the one person who can help him in his fight against the all-powerful Reliance. RJ is the rebel Elite who's been raiding supply trains and sabotaging Reliance facilities so successfully that even the work-units know her name. With David's innocent enthusiasm and desire for justice and RJ's knowledge of weapons and warfare they begin to chip away at the Reliance armor. This is a fast-paced, character-based, science fiction adventure with real heroes, villains, and events that develop in believable and exciting directions. With introduction by C. J. Cherryh on why you should be reading Selina Rosen!
About the Author
Selina Rosen lives in rural Arkansas with her partner of ten years, and assorted animal and plant life. Besides writing, she enjoys (heavy) sword fighting, fencing, building things from trash, gardening, and making smug people feel small. She also enjoys drinking and singing really dirty songs.
Selina has been writing almost every day of her life since she was twelve. She has tried to quit on occasion without success, and hopes that some day "they" will come up with a twelve-step program for writers to help them with their addiction.
Her short fiction has appeared in several issues of Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine, and anthologies such as Such A Pretty Face, Sword and Sorceress 16, and Personal Demons to name a few.
Other Meisha Merlin titles include Queen of Denial, and the first book in this series (oh...you didn't know there was a first book? Now things are starting to make sense!)…Chains of Freedom.
She and a few other masochists own and run Yard Dog Press, which would explain why YDP carries so many of her titles, including...The Bubba Chronicles (a collection of her short fiction both horror and sci-fi), The Host Series, Fire and Ice, and a sci-fi/police procedural/horror novella entitled The Boat Man.
She has also edited two anthologies, Stories That Won't Make Your Parents Hurl (children's horror), and Bubbas of the Apocalypse a shared universe anthology of her own creation…be afraid-be very afraid!
She publishes installments of her science fiction novel-in-progress, Torque City Blues, on a monthly basis at the Yard Dog website. She also posts new "rants" on the website fairly often, because as she says you can't work in this business and not stay pissed off!
