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

Easy things made Fresco nervous. They never used to. Time was he counted himself lucky when he faked his way through a test only to get high nineties or took credit for a caught ball he was sure he'd fumbled. In his new life, easy meant setup.


Not that he wasn't nervous enough already. The last time he took on Garbagemen there was a pack of Wasted kids beside him with their rage for fuel. This time he had three tired but determined survivors. He wasn't sure which he preferred.


Garris waited in the shipping area of the small warehouse as instructed. It was easily observed from the darkness around it. Fresco shook off his doubt and focused.


No matter what happened, they made their choice and committed to it. It was time to act.
