Sleep On A Bed Of Nails

THREE STORIES. THREE WOMEN. THREE SYSTEMS OF CONTROL. When power controls the essentials of life, resistance becomes a matter of survival. In Expiration Date, soldier Rose returns home carrying grief and is pulled into the disappearance of the grandmother she has never truly known. Her search leads toward a secret government project, a law that fixes the end of a human life at seventy-two, and a discovery powerful people intend to control. In Dam It, twenty-two-year-old Mikaela lives in a fractured future where small Tribes survive by following fresh water. When a ruthless new leader dams a shared river and turns scarcity into power, protecting her family and community demands more than obedience. In Off The Books, Army Ranger Olivia believes deeply in the country that gave her refuge and citizenship. But as abuses against immigrants escalate and strike close to home, loyalty gives way to doubt-and doubt to covert action against a system she can no longer trust. Sleep On A Bed Of Nails is an action-driven collection of speculative political suspense about power, family, loyalty, and three women forced to decide what they are willing to risk when institutions meant to protect life become instruments of control.
