A Mermaid Dystopian --The Mers:
What lies beneath the surface?
One hundred years from now, the world has
changed and brought with it, new forms of life.
Who are the Mers? Who is Mira?

Mira always knew she was different. Growing up with Mers, she never quite fit in. When Mira breaks the rules and takes Niren with heracross the border dividing Ellis Island and New Jersey, the border dividing two vastly different worlds, she thought the journey to find out who she really is would be an easy one.

But, as the world in Jersey proves to be a convoluted mix of aristocrats who hate the Mers, pirates who want to sell them, and magi who want to use them...finding her true identity will be a challenge, especially when her best friend Niren is a Mer willing to fight to the death.

"The Mers is not quite the type of novel I usually read. I'm not a big fan of the fantasy genre but I DO love a good dystopian story! And Mers delivered on that! This novel does Dystopian lit well. It's also a coming of age novel with some romance. It's one of the most unique YA novels I have ever read. I look forward to reading the sequels." -Tzipora @Goodreads


"Oh my...this was truly an interesting read for me. It's my first mermaid dystopian and I really enjoyed every single page of this book." -Ananda @Goodreads

"The Mers was a very interesting and exciting novel! It combines two of my very favorite genres and blends them into an enchanting story. Ami Blackwelder writes a mermaid dystopian that is a combination of action and romance that is extremely fast-paced from the very first page and never stops until the end." -Destiny @Goodreads

"Gripping and Brilliant!…I honestly liked it. It was different!" -Diary of a Cambridge Student

"I finished "The Mers", and I loved it….The characters are complex …I want to know more!  LOVE IT! LOVE IT!" -Charla VandeBerg (Raymond B. Stewart Middle)

Victorine Lieske, author of Not what She Seems





Synopsis:

Steven Ashton, a billionaire from New York, and Emily Grant, on the run from the law...and when they meet he can’t help falling for her. What he doesn’t know is that interfering in her life will put his own life in danger.

When billionaire Steven Ashton couldn’t stand his high society social life anymore, he left the stress of New York on a vacation for his soul. The need to meet real down to earth people led him to a small Nebraska town. He didn’t want to lie about who he was, but he couldn’t exactly tell them the truth. 

Emily could have easily fallen in love with Steven, under different circumstances, but her past was catching up with her and she needed a new life. If the authorities found out about her, she could lose the one thing that meant everything, her four year old son.

Not What She Seems is approximately 67,000 words long.This book is a "sweet" romantic suspense, appropriate for all ages.




Interview:
1) What inspires your writing, your muse?

A lot of things inspire me. I get inspired when I'm doing the dishes or driving the kids to school. Listening to music, or reading a book. My muse is always bugging me. But I find that the quiet moments usually lead to the best inspiration. Taking a walk by myself, or even when I'm in the shower. The times when I'm alone usually help me think.

2) If you couldn't write, what would you do?

I manufacture rubber stamps for a living, so I would continue to do that. It's creative and allows me to run things on my own time.

3) Who is your favorite author? Book?

People ask this all the time, and I really feel like there's not one good answer. I have many favorite authors. But I've probably read more Mary Higgens Clark books than anyone, and I always enjoy her books, so I'll go with her today. My favorite book she's written is Loves Music, Loves to Dance

4) When did you know you wanted to be a writer?

When I was about 12 I began writing a novel. When my sister read the first 10 pages and got mad that I hadn't written more, that's when I knew it would be way cool to write a book.

5) Have you gone the traditional route? Indie route? or both?

I tried the traditional route, but only sent out a handful of query letters. Then I self-published. I now have an agent, but haven't signed a traditional contract yet. If they offer the right contract, I will sign it.

6) What advice can you give for writers out there looking to promote?

My best advice is to watch what the successful writers in your genre are doing, and emulate them. And if something isn't working, don't be afraid to get advice or help from others.

7) Name three places readers can find you?

My website, www.victorinelieske.com, my blog, www.victorinewrites.blogspot.com and Amazon.com.

8) Tea or coffee?

I'm more of a root beer drinker. 

9) Morning or night?

I'm definitely a night owl.

10) Cats or dogs?

Cats. We have two of them, and love them.

“I’m pregnant. Her eyes peered over the edge of the cloth and confronted her mirrored reflection with that truth. I’m pregnant...by a SHIFTER. Oh, god!”
In “The Shifters of 2040,” Scientist Melissa Marn finds her world swirling on its axis with that one revelation. Shifters — a sentient alien species of light — look to Earth for refuge. In doing so, both shifters and humans are forced to confront prejudice, betrayal, adversity and oppression.
Methodical scientist, Melissa Marn, and her coworker, Dr. Bruce Wilder, conduct experiments on the shifters. Through her pregnancy, she becomes more compassionate and humane and finds herself defending the very species she’s supposed to eradicate. One of the hybrids, Diamond, falls in love with Keenan, a soldier trained to kill her. Between the four, the reader is led from conflict to resolution, from despair to hope, from loneliness to love.
Much of the Shifter Evolutions originality lies in the shifters, common characters in science fiction, but whose origins are rarely explained. In this series, their alien DNA allows them to metamorphose into not just wolves, but a variety of animals. As the plot unfolds, the shifters discover they can have children with humans — hybrids.
Strengths of the novel include the complex characters, its writing style of poetic prose and rich description, and the well developed, thought-provoking, yet highly entertaining plot.
This fast paced book will appeal to the young adult and adult market. It fits nicely into the paranormal romance and science fiction romance genres and would make a great movie, a captivating TV series and an intriguing video game.
Readers will enjoy the fresh approach and original concept of the world thirty years from now, and will find the characters come to life in their minds. This story will stay with them long after they read “The End.
