In a world where different means deviant—and dead—Glory, a sixteen-year-old orphan whose emotions can kill, must rescue her disabled brother, flee a domed city and outrun sadistic monsters addicted to the asteroid dust that's destroyed most life on earth.

"A deliciously dark, harrowing world, brightened by dazzling characters and sparkling prose." -- NYT Bestselling author Kelley Armstrong

"A tense thriller with a strong, beating heart at its center. Glory and her impossible choices will keep you glued to the page. I'm still trying to catch my breath!" -- Diana Peterfreund, author of For Darkness Shows the Stars

"McGowan launches The Dust Chronicles with a bang, painting her post-apocalyptic world with a dark brush and featuring a strong-willed and determined protagonist. Readers will be immediately transported to this world where businessmen rule the job-based class system." -- RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars

"McGowan keeps the suspense throbbing... Exciting..." -- Kirkus Review

OUT OF THE ASHES

My short story, "Out of the Ashes", was published in the McGraw-Hill Ryerson anthology VOICES IN THE HALL.  Canadian teachers and librarians, you can get more information here.  Canadian students--ask your teacher or librarian to order it for you!

The story is a prequel to DEVIANTS and I'm hoping to make it available to a wider audience in the spring of 2013.
