The year is 4010.
Nuclear war and the wasteful nature of humans have all but destroyed the United States. A new government regime rules the day with strict laws, rationed food, and careful control. When those injured in the nuclear blasts that rocked many of the nations largest cities are offered another chance by the Restoration Project, how could they refuse?
Little do they know that the robotic additions to their body will paint targets on their backs once the government decides that they are dangerous. At the forefront of the resistance is a girl with a bionic eye, Blythe Sol, who wants nothing more than to be a normal girl. Blythe has yet to realize that normal will never exist again for her, or anyone else.
The Revolution has begun…
All I ever wanted was to be a normal girl. I had dreams of joining the ranks of the Military Police and making my family proud. But the nuclear war that laid waste to our country destroyed any hope I had of being normal ever again. They took everything away from me, including my humanity. I am now half-human, half-machine, part of the never-ending freak show that is the Restoration Project.
They hate what they created and they fear us for being powerful.
And so they hunt us, destroying our lives so that they can bury what they built. What they don’t know is this: there is a Resistance out there and The Bionics aren’t going down without a fight.

(New Adult or YA Mature)
We stand on the brink of a double rescue mission, a plan so foolhardy that even our bravest men are quaking inside with fear. Storm the capitol, free the prisoners, don’t get killed. It seems like a suicide mission, but not a single one of us has anything to lose.
In my past life, I was a scoundrel; a drug peddling street thug who cared nothing for anyone because I had no one to care for me. The nuclear blasts of 4006 reminded me of the value of life, and a girl with the saddest eyes I’ve ever gazed into gave me someone to care for. Now, as we embark on our most dangerous enterprise, I can only hope that we make it out alive and that those we have lost can be recovered.
Foolishness … fear … hope … These are the elements that threw our revolution into motion. As the momentum of the Resistance continues to build, we can only pray that hope continues grow larger than our fear.
Secrets (Book 3)

(New Adult or YA Mature)
Before The Resistance, my life was one of privilege and comfort. Before The Resistance, mine was a mindset of naiveté and blind trust in a broken and corrupt government. Before The Resistance, I’d never stood up or fought for anything in my life.
Now, there is everything to fight for and everything to lose. All for a glimmer of hope in our future. It may seem a small thing but with the smallest bit of hope, men have risen against their oppressors with fists raised, even when they knew they stared into the face of death. Now that I have found something to fight for, I can only hope that my past will not become a roadblock to my future and that the secrets I’ve kept from those whose trust I’ve gained will not come back to ruin the new life I’ve made. If they do, I fear that I will not only lose my place as part of the Resistance, but the heart of the girl I am slowly coming to love.
Guest Post: Top 10 movies that are similar to The Bionics
When people ask me to describe what my book is about, one of my favorite things to do is compare it to films. It makes it easier for people to visualize and understand the feel and tone of my work. So, here is a list of films I most often use when describing The Bionics Series to new readers!1. The Book of Eli. Mainly because of its dystopian setting and gritty feel.2. I, Robot. It’s actually where I got the idea of bionic limbs (Will Smith has one in this film). Did I mention Will Smith? And his nudey shower scene? YUM-O!3. Aeon Flux. Kickass heroine wages war against a corrupt government regime. Enough said.4. Ultraviolet. See above reason for Aeon Flux. Plus the super cool technology. Thought, none of my characters have color-changing hair.5. X-Men. Turn mutants into cyborgs and you’ve got The Bionics. Outcasts of their society just fighting for a place in this world.6. The Hunger Games. The love triangle plays a huge role in The Bionics and like Hunger Games, one of the guys in the triangle is also the heroine’s best friend. Though, in my opinion in HG it’s pretty obvious who she feels the deeper connection with (at least romantically) and Katniss spends way more time with Peeta than with Gale. For me, I try to balance it more between the two guys to draw out the suspense of who she will ultimately choose. Only I know, and no I don’t take bribes ;).7. V for Vendetta. Mainly because of the theme of people rising up against their totalitarian government.8. 1984. There goes that totalitarian government again!9. Brave New World. Wow, movies about futuristic dictatorships are popular!10. In Time. Because of the idea of the government deciding who is worthy of receiving fair treatment and who is not. Plus, Justin Timberlake is just a nice little treat for the eyes.
