Two pop princesses. Two very different lives. One incredible tour that will set sparks and rumors flying!

Charlotte:

It’s been a few years since I put the spotlight behind me. My life was good. Quiet. Away from the glamor and the cameras and the gossip. I was content to coast on my fame in the flyover and leave the fast life on the coasts far behind.

Then I got the call. My old manager Mike needed my help. Which was weird since the last time we spoke he was using some shady contract to screw me out of everything.

His new star was in trouble. Something about a stalker and acting out. I knew the life. I could show her the ropes. I could teach her how to be a proper pop princess and not a wild child in the tabloids.

Fuck that. I could use this opportunity for a little revenge, and if I happened to save the new girl from getting screwed over in the process that’s all the better.

Then I met Kortni.

My manager Mike is a total asshole and I can’t wait to kick him to the curb after this tour. Not to mention there’s a creepy stalker sending weird love notes to every tour stop.

And now on top of all that Mike’s trying to get one of his former clients to come on for the tour and show me the ropes. Which is Mike speak for trying to keep me under his thumb.

Like hell is that happening.

I’ve heard of Charlotte. A hottie who was the old hotness a few years back. I figured she’d be a washed up has been trying to tell me what to do, but she was nothing like what I expected.

WAKING THE DREAMER
by K. Aten

Dystopian Science Fiction

By the end of the 21st century, the world had become a harsh place. After decades of natural and man-made catastrophes, nations fell, populations shifted, and seventy percent of the continents became uninhabitable without protective suits. Technological advancement strode forward faster than ever and it was the only thing that kept human society steady through it all. No one could have predicted the discovery of the Dream Walkers. They were people born with the ability to leave their bodies at will, unseen by the waking world. Having the potential to become ultimate spies meant the remaining government regimes wanted to study and control them. The North American government, under the leadership of General Rennet, demanded that all Dream Walkers join the military program. For any that refused to comply, they were hunted down and either brainwashed or killed.

The very first Dream Walker discovered was a five year old girl named Julia. And when the soldiers came for her at the age of twenty, she was already hidden away. A decade later found Julia living a new life under the government’s radar. As a secure tech courier in the capital city of Chicago, she does her job and the rest of her time avoids other people as much as she is able. The moment she agrees to help another fugitive Walker is when everything changes. Now the government wants them both and they’ll stop at nothing to get what they want.
