A mature YA, dystopian: Scavenger Girl Season of Atchem by Jennifer Arntson

-
Stripped of their birthright and shunned by the people of Ashlund, Una and her family are forced to live on the fringe of society as Scavengers. When the family experiences a sudden change of circumstance, Una takes new freedoms, free from the Authority, her family, and possibly her fate. Pulled between the life she's always known and a world where status and rituals are everything, Una struggles to understand a culture that has rejected all she holds dear. Time is running out and she can't stop thinking about what she fears the most: the coming of her womanhood and her subsequent price when she's sold as restitution for her parent's crimes. As Atchem comes to an end and she learns who she really is, will Una find the courage to do what it takes to ensure her family's survival, or will she find the faith to follow her heart?

Today we're welcoming author Khaled Talib to The Book Cove. He's the author of three novels -- the most recent titled Gun Kiss  was published December 2017 and has received rave reviews. TBC: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where are you from?  KT: I was born and raised in Singapore. I've been writing since I was a kid. Although I did attain some recognition, I never realized my full potential until much later. My little voice, once lost, kept pressing me on. To date, I've authored three novels. I am self-taught, never once having the opportunity to attend a workshop or a school to learn the craft. Along the route, I experienced agony and ecstasy. I ended up being a magazine writer before switching to the field of public relations. It also involved some form of writing though different from fiction. I find myself more interested in writing fiction as it allows my imagination to thrive in more ways than one. It's like baking a cake, you know; there are many

I'm a little late on my FF post this week as I've been in and out of town and busy with work. Actually...I'm procrastinating on writing a paper right now with this post ;-) What is a Feature and Follow? (Courtesy of Parajunkee): The goal is to increase blog followers and make friends. First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools — keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them “hi” in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you! What sets this Hop apart from others, is our Feature. Each week we will showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Who is our Feature today? Find out below. Just remember it is required, if you participate
