As a junior guard, she\u2019s excited to prove herself to her company\u2014and that means sacrificing anything that won\u2019t propel her forward.<\/p>\n<p>But then a routine drill goes sideways and Kenzie is taken hostage by rioting prisoners.<\/p>\n<p>At first, she\u2019s confident her commanding officer\u2014who also happens to be her mother\u2014will stop at nothing to secure her freedom. Yet it soon becomes clear that her mother is more concerned with sticking to Omnistellar protocol than she is with getting Kenzie out safely.<\/p>\n<p>As Kenzie forms her own plan to escape, she doesn\u2019t realize there\u2019s a more sinister threat looming, something ancient and evil that has clawed its way into Sanctuary from the vacuum of space. And Kenzie might have to team up with her captors to survive\u2014all while beginning to suspect there\u2019s a darker side to the Omnistellar she knows.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">W<\/span>hat inspired you to write this story and\/or these characters?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I love space. I love aliens. I love messy decisions and blurred moral lines and romances that transcend boundaries. I wanted to put all of these things together with that sense of claustrophobic horror you get from the very best creepy movies and video games, and that was why I decided to write about an alien attack on a prison \u2013 and one on a space station. You can\u2019t get more trapped than that.<\/p>\n<p>As for my characters, I love them all. I really do. They start as these vivid dreams and become my best friends and worst enemies, taking on a life of their own until I really don\u2019t have much choice about getting them down on paper. They sneak out of my brain onto the page.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Everyone says writing is a process. Could you share a little about your writing and\/or research process?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Everyone has such a unique perspective on this, and I love hearing how other people write. For me, I often start with a rough outline, but before long that goes out the window, which means there\u2019s usually a point halfway through where I\u2019ve written myself into a corner and am curled up on the couch under a blanket yelling plot ideas at my dogs. Eventually my husband convinces me to go write some more, at which point I write a truly terrible chapter that has to be deleted later, but that\u2019s enough to propel me back into the story and get things moving again. In this way, bit by bit, an idea becomes a plot.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">We know no writer is created in a vacuum. Could you tell the readers about a teacher or a\u00a0\u00a0 librarian who had an effect on your writing life?<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I had so many amazing teachers. I mention three in my acknowledgements. The first teacher who ever told me I could write was Ms Rochester, my grade 8 creative writing teacher. It had never occurred to me before that. In high school, my English teacher Mr Feschuk and my drama teacher Mr Montalbetti both had huge roles in encouraging me to write. I really don\u2019t think I\u2019d be where I am without them.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>What makes your book\u00a0 a good pick for use in a classroom? Is there any particular way you\u2019d like to see teachers use it with young readers\/teens?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As a teacher myself, I think I have a pretty strong connection with what kids like to read. This is a great classroom pick for reluctant readers who want page-turning action, but will still appeal to a wide audience, making it a good whole class read. I\u2019d love to see teachers use it to explore themes of isolation, of corporate entities and their control over the world, of what we can trust in terms of what we see and hear in the world around us.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>I\u2019m a little dog obsessed here at www.patriciabaileyauthor.com. Would you tell the readers about\u00a0 your favorite dog (real or imaginary)?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Um, YES. I have two dogs. Aleiah is a nine year old rescue. She\u2019s a black lab with three legs. We think someone kicked her as a pup and her leg grew in crooked. The rescue organization had to amputate it before I adopted her. She is my very best friend and is always at my side. Archer is a three year old Boston Terrier. He is 50% adorableness and 50% nightmare. When he\u2019s not curled up being the cutest thing you\u2019ve ever seen, he\u2019s attacking a wall because it looked at him funny. They are my constant writing companions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2127 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Aleiah-150x139.png\" alt=\"Caryn Lix Aleigh | Author Spotlight | www.patriciabaileyauthor.com\" width=\"150\" height=\"139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Aleiah-150x139.png 150w, https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Aleiah-300x279.png 300w, https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Aleiah.png 895w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2128 size-thumbnail alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Archer-anbd-Ali-150x137.png\" alt=\"Caryn Lix and Archer and Ali | Author Spotlight | www.patriciabaileyauthor.comarcher-anbd-ali\" width=\"150\" height=\"137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Archer-anbd-Ali-150x137.png 150w, https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Archer-anbd-Ali-300x274.png 300w, https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Archer-anbd-Ali.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2129 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Archer-edits-150x135.png\" alt=\"Caryn Lix and Archer | Author Spotlight | www.patriciabaileyauthor.com\" width=\"150\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Archer-edits-150x135.png 150w, https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Archer-edits-300x270.png 300w, https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Archer-edits.png 897w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2130\" src=\"https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/author-photo-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Caryn Lix | Author Spotlight | www.patriciabaileyauthor.com\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/author-photo.jpg 200w, https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/author-photo-100x150.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>Caryn Lix has been writing since she was a teenager and delved deep into science fiction, fantasy, and the uncanny while working on her Masters in English literature.
