GENRE:  Young Adult Fantasy

BLURB:

It had been five years since the accident that derailed Veronica’s life, which left her suffering from a strange flu-like illness ever since. Thanks to a barrier set in her mind at birth, she can’t remember her name is Harmony and that this is not her real life. She has no memory of the many lives she had lived before this one and how several of those lives had been cut short. How she must uncover the reason why those lives had ended so early, and how this moment may hold the key, or she risks losing herself and Earth forever.

As Harmony, she wants to uncover the reason why her lives keep ending so soon. As Veronica, she wonders how much longer she has to live like this? What could possibly be left for her? Little did she know, she was about to get her answers…

EXCERPT

My world is your world—only you can’t remember any of it. A barrier exists between what you think is real and what you know to be. It had been put in place during the transition into the world you currently know and will be removed upon your return.

In other words, this is not your real life.

My name is Harmony, and I am going to let you in on a little secret. I am a student at the biggest, most famous school ever known. And so are you! It’s called Earth.

Yep. Earth is a school. Are you shocked? If you are, it’s okay. That is the most common and expected reaction to this news. I will give you a moment to let that sink in…

Just kidding! Based on the fact you’ve chosen to read this; I am going to bet that you’re a lot like me. You’re probably fine, and not shocked by this at all. If you do, however, find this news to be at all surprising, perhaps it would be best if you stopped here. This story may not be for everyone, and I am not looking to upset anyone’s beliefs. Our extreme diversity is an important part of what makes us who we are. So, this may be where we will agree to disagree and possibly part ways. Hopefully as friends.

For everyone else, I will move on.

Yes, life is about learning, and Earth is our school. I’m sure you have heard someone on Earth say this before. I know when I am there, I hear this often. Some people know, but it’s not because they remember it is. They know because people cannot get through a single day there without learning something, somehow. On Earth, learning is unavoidable.

10 Things People Don’t Know About Me

1. I have a fear of heights depending on the circumstances. For instance, I can ride on a roller coaster or an airplane just fine. Cliffs while hiking would be the kind of thing where I would have an issue. Or being on a roof. I have a hard time with that one as well.
2. I am claustrophobic. I do not like confined spaces at all. So, no crawling under any houses for me. I also don’t like tight things around my neck either.
3. When I was a little kid all I ate was rice and sauce. It was minute rice and Prego spaghetti sauce. I occasionally still have this.
4. I won a prize at an amusement park once for being able to scream the loudest. I like to think my parents were proud. I know I was.
5. Every time I go to use a port-o-potty I worry a dead body is going to fall out when I open the door. I have no idea where this irrational thought comes from.
6. I am double jointed in my left hand. In my thumb to be exact.
7. I refuse to throw away anything related to my books. Even if it’s considered not important. I feel like I am hurting my characters feelings or something.
8. I have at least 6 lbs of bacon in the freezer at all times. I never want to run out.
9. I like to go on long trips for odd reasons. The last one, my kids and I drove to Pennsylvania for Waffle House. We don’t have one in Connecticut, and I wanted breakfast!
10. This last one will come out eventually so might as well get it over with… I occasionally drool while talking. My mouth creates extra saliva and every once in a while, during a conversation a little bit slips out. This hasn’t happened to me in quite some time though. I’ve become much better at controlling it.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

Billie Kowalewski grew up in a small town along the Connecticut shoreline. She’s always had a wild imagination and spent her childhood dreaming up stories. This would often lead her to the library or whatever bookstore where she would be combing the shelves for books that closely resembled what was in her head at the time. A lot of the time she would come close and would be satisfied with what she found. However, there was always this one story she could never find. It was in 2010 that she decided to write it herself. In whatever spare time she has left, she enjoys listening to pretty much anything that rocks, like 80’s hair bands, metal, etc. She also has a gift for finding the strangest movies and shows ever (according to her children) and loves spending time with her family.
