And now for the NaNoWriMo update: I'm alomost at 4,000 words, so I'm a little bit behind but hoping to catch up today. Yesterday I wrote the blurb for Desert Nomad and it came out better than I expected. Tell me, would you read a book about this?:
Aries is a Lifer: a fifth generation colonist living aboard the Ark, a deep space transport vessel destined for a paradise planet three hundred years away. Her purpose is to maintain the life support systems and marry Lieutenant Barliss, producing two genetically optimal children to take their place at the helm.
But Aries is tired of a predestined life. While cruising by a desert planet with minimal survival conditions, she manipulates an escape. Her flight pod crash lands and she is caught between the search and rescue teams of the Ark and the primitive hunters on the alien planet. While struggling to survive, she meets Striker, a space pirate exiled by his mutinous crew. Together they realize that a life alone is nothing compared to a life with love. With the search teams flying above and the hunters stalking them below, Aries is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice, her freedom for Striker’s life.
What do you think?
