What if your existence was illegal?
 
It was supposed to be the perfect system: food, shelter, and jobs for everyone. A strive toward Utopian.
 
When children can no longer be conceived through natural means, a lottery is established to determine which families will conceive a child in a lab through IVF.

From the Author

Aberrant was inspired from both novels that I loved reading, The Hunger Games and The Handmaid's Tale. It also is a culmination of ideas in society, personal experience, and of course creativity. In China, there is the one child rule. How far away is our world from saying, "you have one child, that's acceptable but anymore would take away from the resources we need for survival. You must hand over your second child, to take someplace else." One would hope that we'd speak out but if the government was oppressive, and if there was no free speech, you might quickly fear for you and your family's life. It's easy to see how the world could quickly become Dystopian, especially when that government is giving you everything you need to survive and could just as quickly cut you off and throw you into the Gravelands, or worse - kill you. 
 
I started writing Aberrant in early 2011 and finished the first draft, the summer of 2012. I look forward to continuing the Aberrant trilogy. The next installment, Moirai will be released September 2013.
