Looking for an excellent dystopian read? Zoe Cannon may be a fellow Infinite Inkling, but I was a big fan of her Internal Defense series before we decided to form a co-op. In fact, it was my admiration of her work that led me to want to be in a co-op with her.

Given that, it's no surprise that I'm very excited to be announcing that the final book in the series, No Return, is now available! I've already bought my copy and started reading. The ending of the series is bittersweet because, while I'm excited to find out how things are resolved in the end, I'm also sad that I won't have any more Internal Defense books to read! The upside, though, is that I'm very much looking forward to seeing what Zoe will do next.

If you're looking for a thoughtful, character-driven dystopian series, this one is for you.

No Return

The conclusion to the Internal Defense series

Every dissident knows about Becca Dalcourt.

They know about the lives she’s saved. About the prison break she carried out against impossible odds. They know she turned a dying resistance into the first real threat Internal Defense has faced in a long time.

And even now, with the resistance under attack from the inside, they know Becca can save them.

They’re wrong.

The conclusion to the story that began with The Torturer’s Daughter and Necessary Sacrifices, No Return explores what happens when an ordinary person becomes a legend – and how to choose between who you are and who the world needs you to be.

Zoe Cannon writes about the things that fascinate her: outsiders, societies no sane person would want to live in, questions with no easy answers, and the inner workings of the mind. If she couldn't be a writer, she would probably be a psychologist, a penniless philosopher, or a hermit in a cave somewhere. While she'll read anything that isn't nailed down, she considers herself a YA reader and writer at heart. She lives in New Hampshire with her husband and a giant teddy bear of a dog, and spends entirely too much time on the internet.

I am SUPER excited to take part in the cover reveal for the final book in Zoe Cannon's Internal Defense trilogy, No Return. Zoe is one of my Infinite Ink counterparts, but I've been a big fan of Zoe's trilogy since long before we joined forces. If you love young adult dystopian, you don't want to miss this series.

So without further ado, behold the fantastic cover for No Return!

I'm going to take a wild guess here: everyone likes giveaways. I know I do, and so do my fellow Infinite Inklings.

Um, so who are these Infinite Inklings of whom I speak, right? We're a group of nine like-minded authors putting our own spin on young adult and new adult speculative fiction. We love science fiction and fantasy. We love to read it, we love to talk about it, and, most of all, we love to write it. Our goal in banding together is to help spread the word about YA and NA spec fic with a twist. You can find out more about us on our introductory blog post.

The only thing we like better than writing spec fic is sharing spec fic, so we're celebrating our group kickoff by giving away three $25 Amazon gift cards and three awesome Fill Your Kindle Prize Packs. Click on over to my Giveaways tab to enter, or check out the giveaway on our Infinite Ink website.

And remember: Beware the Ides of March, lest you fall victim to a dystopian regime or an evil sorceress's curse!
