Today, I'm very pleased to host a Spotlight on Debra L Martin, author of YA distopian novelette, ZIA'S PATH. "Click to look inside" the book on Amazon to read the first gripping chapter free.

Author Bio: Debra L Martin writes SF/fantasy with her co-author, David W Small. They have been writing together since 2006 and have written two novels, "Quest for Nobility" and "The Crystal Facade" in the Rule of Otharia series and three novelettes in the Dark Future series. Debra lives on the East Coast with her husband and 2 cats. David lives on the West Coast with his wife and daughter. They are currently working on a fantasy they hope to finish in 2011.

Book Blurb: In this novelette featuring crippled teenager, Abraham "Ham" Jones, and his tomboy partner, Zia Slate, the stakes are even higher. They have agreed to accept the memory weapons from their new guardian, Henry Lloyd, but with the power of the weapons comes the responsibility to follow "the right path." It's suppose to be simple: help one person at a time, but nothing in this harsh world is ever simple. It's a dog-eat-dog world where food is scarce and gangs rule the street.

When Ham decides to go into the worst gang-ridden area of the city to save a little girl, Zia doesn't think it's a good idea. It's too dangerous, but eventually she agrees and the two set off in search of the girl. When Zia goes off to scout ahead, Ham's worst nightmare comes true. Zia is snatched by slavers. Can Ham find out where she has been taken and mount a defense to save her in two days before she is sold as a sex slave?
