Series
Backstory:
Sometime between the interminable
wars in the Middle East and 9/11, the United States moved forward breeding a
race of super humans. Clandestine labs formed, armed with eager scientists
who’d always yearned to manipulate human DNA. At first the clones looked
promising, growing to fighting size in as little as a dozen years, but V1 had
design flaws.
Seven years ago, a rogue group
turned on their creators, blew up the lab, and hit all the other breeding
farms, freeing whomever they could find. In the intervening time, they’ve
retreated to hidden compounds and created a society run by men. Women are kept
on a tight leash because the men fear if they discover their innate power,
they’d launch their own rebellion.
Book
Description:
Being a genetically altered human
without a name grew old, so Glory named herself. Surrounded by a maze of
unpleasant alternatives, she makes a bold choice and ends up a fugitive in the
midst of a Minnesota winter. Once she’s on the run, she discovers how
unprepared she is for life outside her protected compound.
CIA agent, Roy Kincaid, devoted
his career to hunting super humans who staged a rebellion seven years before.
He’s not making much headway, so he goes deep undercover. One blustery night, a
striking woman staggers into the café where he’s catching a late meal. Part
waif, part runway model, the half-frozen woman arrows straight into his heart.
Glory’s flat out of alternatives,
but death in the storm might be preferable to telling the tall stranger looming
over her anything. Sensing Roy is dangerous, she pushes into his head seeking
clues and discovers he hunts those like her. Maybe she can fool him, just for
tonight. Get a hot meal and dry motel room out of the deal. If she’s lucky,
he’ll never find out she’s on the run from the same group he’s targeted for
death.
About
the Author:
Ann Gimpel is a mountaineer at
heart. Recently retired from a long career as a psychologist, she remembers
many hours at her desk where her body may have been stuck inside four walls,
but her soul was planning yet one more trip to the backcountry. Around the turn
of the last century (that would be 2000, not 1900!), she managed to finagle
moving to the Eastern Sierra, a mecca for those in love with the mountains. It
was during long backcountry treks that Ann’s writing evolved. Unlike some who
see the backcountry as an excuse to drag friends and relatives along, Ann
prefers solitude. Stories always ran around in her head on those journeys,
sometimes as a hedge against abject terror when challenging conditions made her
fear for her life, sometimes for company. Eventually, she returned from a trip
and sat down at the computer. Three months later, a five hundred page novel
emerged. Oh, it wasn’t very good, but it was a beginning. And, she learned a
lot between writing that novel and its sequel.
Around that time, a friend of hers
suggested she try her hand at short stories. It didn’t take long before that
first story found its way into print and they’ve been accepted pretty regularly
since then. One of Ann’s passions has always been ecology, so her tales often
have a green twist.
In addition to writing, Ann
enjoys wilderness photography. She lugs pounds of camera equipment in her
backpack to distant locales every year. A standing joke is that over ten
percent of her pack weight is camera gear which means someone else has to carry
the food! That someone is her husband. They’ve shared a life together for a
very long time. Children, grandchildren and three wolf hybrids round out their
family.
