The same book but with an updated cover and a spiffy, newly formatted, interior. Seventeen years ago, the brown rain started falling without explanation, without excuse. It killed everything it touched. Then, after four years of death and destruction, it stopped just as inexplicably. Now Alyssa and Kyra, two young women from a surviving community, are sent out into a desolate world to look for other survivors. Between Alyssa’s unique power and Kyra’s roguish skills, they might just succeed. But what they end up finding in the outside world, despite its veneer of civility, may be slightly less human than they had been expecting.

About the Author

A 20-year Air Force career, time as a manager at acomputer operations company, wife, mother, sister and volunteer, provides arich background for Connie Cockrell's story-telling.
Cockrell grew up in upstate NY, just outside ofGloversville, NY before she joined the military at age 18. Having lived inEurope, Great Britain, and several places around the United States, she nowlives in Payson, AZ with her husband: hiking, gardening, and playing bunko. Shewrites about whatever comes into her head so her books could be in any genre.She's published fourteen books so far, has been included in five differentanthologies and been published on EveryDayStories.com.

Upon hearing about the 2011 National Novel WritingMonth challenge from her daughter, Cockrell asked, "How hard could it be?" Herdaughter gave her a copy of Larry Brook's book, Story Engineering two weeksbefore National Novel Writing Month began. She read the book, outlined herstory in post-its on the back of the closet door, and finished that challengeof 50,000 words in 30 days! Now the ideas for stories never seem to end, promptedby casual statements, by friends, documentaries on television, even hikes. Shecontinues to pursue her random thoughts for story ideas. Be careful, you may beone of them.
