About the Author

Sunset Beach Ahhhh beach... I am a wife and entrepreneur living and working in Florida. My work is young adult fiction, and would be classified as science-fiction because it's rooted in science. It's focused on realistic worst-case scenarios because those are what I find most intriguing at the moment. And I've chosen biology-based science-fiction as my genre. I'm a graduate of Mount Holyoke College, where I majored in Biology. I originally set out to become an academician, but found it didn't suit me. It turns out that research, of all things, is tedious. Who knew? Though I did not end up making research my life, my passion for Biology remained intact. That's why writing biology-based science-fiction felt natural to me. Those were often my favorite stories to read and daydream about, so it makes sense that they would be my favorite to write. What I enjoyed most about writing the Edens' Root Trilogy is that while it's set against a backdrop of devastation and loss, it's ultimately a story of the triumph of the human spirit...of our capacity to emerge from struggle with our eyes turned toward the sunrise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb! July 23, 2012

Shoot! I'm done! Hurry up, Ms. Fisher! I want more!

Well done, Ms. Fisher! I loved every bit of the story. It was well worth the wait. The characters and plot are so real that I forgot what reality really was. And it is a book that makes you think. I makes you want to be ready. It makes you want to fight to keep Truefood, if we still have any. It is so late that I can't think of more to say. I am that overwhelmed and under-worded!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Edition to the Series! July 22, 2012

Loved it, just as good as the first. There was still a lot of action & you get to learn a lot more about Eden & how everything works. Getting to see other survivors Topside was really cool too. It was surprising to see how many there were & to feel the hope that Fi had at rebuilding the world. The Truthers sound really interesting & insane, so I can't wait to see what happens with that. The Lobos remain scary as heck & some of the scenes were crazy! There is a lot going on in Fi's world & I can't wait to see what happens next. They definitely have a lot of challenges ahead of them, so I am excited to see where that goes.

Fi is still BA as ever & I loved how strong she is. Even though she is perfectly fine on her own it is nice to see how she is with Asher, she lets herself become more vulnerable & share her burden, I think they make a great couple, very adorable too! I love how playful they are with each other & can be BA when they need to. I was unsure how I felt about Asher in the first book becasue of what happened when he & Fi first met. After getting to know him better in this book I think he is absolutely adorable & I love how much he cares about Fi. He will do anything to protect, but he doesn't try to smother her, he knows she is perfectly capable of protecting herself. They just really compliment each other & they had so many great scenes together. Can't wait to see more of them. Sean & Sara were cute as well & made a great couple. Sara turned out to be a really surprising character. Sean also made some interesting changes. It was great to see character growth & to see them struggle with what the world has become.

Overall I really loved this book & I can't wait for the next one! I definitely recommend it!

Seeds of War, Book 2 in the Eden's Root Trilogy, continues the story of Fi Kelly and her Family, mainly Sean and Asher. These three, along with Sara, Fi's friend and Sean's girlfriend, are Seekers. They're soon given a new mission: Seeders. It is now their job to journey to other friendly survivors and give out heirloom seeds and radio equipment to begin connecting the Survivors into something of a community. They also begin Seeding the Dead Zones to hopefully begin regrowth of wild grasses and plants. Unfortunately, the world is still not safe. They have to watch out for unfriendly survivors, dubbed Lobos, and a new threat, the Truthers, emerges.

I really enjoyed Seeds of War, as much as Eden's Root. This trilogy seems to be one that just sucks me in and won't let go. When I'd have to stop, I had to shake my head a little to get to story out of it. Honestly, it....kinda made me a little paranoid... I mean, I can see things like this actually happening in the near future. Then again, I'm not one of those people who can just read a book. I have to get totally immersed in it. I'm not just reading; I'm in there, too. Fi's a likeable heroine, as is her Family. The world around them is one of despair, but they have so much hope for the future. It's just really touching.

What got to me was the Truthers. Ohhh, religious cults... So creepy. What's worse, I can see a group like that actually forming and trying to spread their message of lies on the back of religious comfort. I did like that Fi began questioning society and wondering if some of what the leader of the Truthers was saying was actually true. The Famine and Sickness affected her deeply, so it seems very reasonable that she would seek answers about the causes and wonder if they were a punishment to society. Including Fi's doubts made her story even more realistic. It would be so easy to have her staunchly against them in every way from the beginning. Having her confused and questioning brought another depth to her.

I'm eagerly awaiting the release of book 3. I NEED to know how Fi's story ends.

More About the Author

I am a wife and entrepreneur living and working in Florida. My work is fictional and would be classified as science-fiction because it is rooted in science, but so far it is not the typical with robots, space travel, or aliens. Instead I have focused on realistic worst-case scenarios because those are what I find most intriguing at the moment. And I have chosen biology-based science-fiction as my genre (It is also categorized as Young Adult.)

I am a graduate of Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts where I majored in Biology. I originally set out to become an academician, but found it didn't suit me. It turns out that research, of all things, is tedious. Who knew? Though I did not end up making research my life, my passion for Biology remained intact.
