Hi all!
Please help me welcome
Author Leti Del Mar to my blog today!
About the Author:
Leti Del Mar lives in sunny Southern California
with her husband, daughter and abnormally large cat. When she isn't writing,
reading or blogging, she is teaching Biology and Algebra to teenagers. Leti is
also a classic film buff, passionate about Art History and loves to travel.
Her new book: Land of
the Unaltered-Confederation Chronicles (Vol I) was released on June 18th,
2013.
Here’s the blurb:
Land of the Unaltered- A
Dystopian Romance (Book One of The Confederation Chronicles) Rose comes from
the capital of the Confederation of Cities where its citizens live in luxury
and the greatest fashion statement of all is being Altered. People change everything
about the way they look as often as they do their hairstyle but Rose is
different. Her position of privilege has made her an outcast and led her to
suspect that something sinister is happening to the citizens and flees the
capital along with a past that imprisons her in search of a fresh start in the
Land of the Unaltered. Flynn lives in the Land of the Unaltered and hates the
capitol and everything it stands for. So when a spoiled capital girl is
assigned to work with him, he wants nothing to do with her and is prepared to
make her life miserable. But Flynn was not prepared for someone like Rose. She
doesn't fit the mold he expected and finds himself strongly attracted to her.
As she continues to surprise and outwit him, they begin to forge a bond that is
tested when they discover a secret that could change everything they know about
Land of the Unaltered.
Excerpt:
Land of the Unaltered
Chapter 1
Rose
I woke up confused, disoriented and under attack.
I could hear the sounds of bullets in the distance getting closer with every passing second. In the confusion following my abrupt awakening, it took me a few precious seconds to realize this wasn’t my room and that I was in a foreign bed. Then I remembered I was onboard a convoy, taking me far away from home.
I gazed out of the tiny window next to my borrowed bed to see the attackers; about two dozen people on horseback, ridding parallel to the moving convoy. A few held lit torches that blazed against night sky. The rest carried guns, all aimed at me. My heart reached a frantic pace when I saw their bodies move closer to my window. I had lived my whole life in fear of an assassination and now that the threat was real and present, time stood still as I observed the faces of my would-be killers.
Their faces shone with excitement and energy. Never in my entire life had I felt as alive as these people appeared to be, riding towards me with their guns blazing. The full moon illuminated them and the green valley they galloped across. Weaving in and out of the sparse trees, their horses flew across the grassy terrain and maintained pace with the convoy. With my breath frozen in my throat, I found myself confused with my discovery. These assailants seemed happy and not at all what I imagined assassins to be.
Their clothes were mismatched but not ragged. They had clean, Unaltered faces and their hair was neatly arranged. I saw a young girl with two long braids streaming down her back. For some reason, those twin golden braids held me transfixed as she rode even closer.

Amazon review:
By M. I. T.
Format:Kindle Edition
I heard about this book on Facebook where the author had
uploaded a preview to read. I was quickly absorbed in the story from the
beginning and I decided to read the book during my holiday last month. If
you're married, this is one of those books that will keep your husband up all
night because you can't put the book down! It's definitely a thriller and as
the story unravelled I just wanted to read faster to find out what happens. The
ending doesn't disappoint either. I wouldn't be surprised if this book is made
into a movie one day!
