The blue joy is calling... but can Fresco survive it?

"Do you know what happened to you?" Joey's voice broke a little. Fresco shook his head. The kid nodded, like it was no big surprise." Yeah, me either. No one seems to. We just have normal lives, you know? Then suddenly you wake up with this thing eating into you," he swallowed hard, "and that's it. The rest is Wasteland."

Seventeen-year-old Fresco Conte is an ordinary All-American kid from an upper middle-class family. He plays football. His girlfriend is a cheerleader. Life is good. Until unexplained things, scary things, start to take him over. Like surviving an accident that should have killed him. Or hearing the thoughts of the people around him whether he wants to or not.
 
When the men in the dark blue coveralls come for him, Fresco is forced into addiction to the blue joy known as Wasteland and set free on the street, with no answers and only his hunger to keep him company.

Don't miss the rest of this dark YA urban fantasy series! Wasteland and Diamond City are now available.

Diamond City Trilogy

Chad gasped over a puddle of bile tinged with blue as Parker sagged next to him, her face calm and smiling despite her weariness. It made sense for her to support Chad. The shared gift meant an easy link between them. It almost made Fresco jealous. Parker felt it, still open from Chad's journey and met Fresco's eyes, sliding herself back to him as she let Chad feel the freedom he won. Fresco's jealousy didn't survive the contact.


Chad's freedom caused the household no end of excitement. Those standing watch in the small room and crowded outside in the hallway and stairs swelled with cheering so loud Fresco forced himself not to cover his ears. Even Garris was yelling, doing an odd, awkward little dance, all long limbs and tapping feet. He lunged forward to embrace Parker as Chad met Fresco's eyes and mind.
