Nora Collins works at the Postponement Center helping parents coordinate the controversial cryonic preservation of their newborn babies. Sometimes a choice for medical reasons, but more often because of career or educational obligations, financial aspirations, or due to parental immaturity.

Past child-bearing years herself, Nora secretly atones for past decisions by living a solitary life. She develops a questionable, borderline addictive, relationship with the frozen neonates, frequently watching them and communicating with them in their crypod units.

Routinely Nora is confronted by outraged protestors and must navigate an ethical minefield surrounding the postponement practice. She staunchly believes parents should choose for themselves when the time is right to bring their baby home—until she doesn’t.

After one mother decides to pre-maturely reanimate her son, forcing him into a life-threatening position, Nora struggles with her own dangerous choice—honor the desire of the new mother or save the innocent child.

About the Author

Diane loved creative writing as a child. Then one very influential college professor put an end to everything--at least for many years. She re-discovered her love to tell stories in 2002 when she developed her first feature length screenplay. That led Diane to become active in the independent film industry and she wrote, directed and produced several short films winning numerous awards for her efforts. She has written many feature-length screenplays, including one she also co-produced called Atrophy that premiered at the Phoenix Film Festival and where she was the recipient of the 2012 Arizona Filmmaker of the Year Award. After spending most of her life living in Southern California and Phoenix, Arizona, she moved to Texas in 2013. At that time she created a blog (dianedresback.com), and started to capture her story ideas into novels.
