The Chosen
Sector C Volume 1
by Nina Soden
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Set in a futuristic dystopian where society is governed by a council of vampires and lycanthropes,
selection students are sheltered and raised in a deceptively utopian world. Strict rules are imposed to
control population growth, education, and even personal interactions with other members of the Sector,
all in the name of safety. When ‘A’ comes of age, she like all youth throughout Sector C and her
selection classmates aren’t sent out into the world to find jobs, make money and lead happy carefree
lives. They are forced to endure the rigorous physical and mental testing of Selection Week before
choosing their destiny or being forced into a fate far worse. Those that make it out alive are announced
as sector residence, given a position within the society, and allotted all the privileges of their chosen
“culture.” However, when your only choices are vampirism, lycanthropy, breeder, blood donor, or
banishment to the Wastelands, what choice do you really have? Suspenseful, intense, passionate, and
awash in paranormal delights, Sector C captures the enchantment and mysteries of the supernatural
world and the power of friendship.
The Hunted
Sector C Volume 2
In the future, most of the world is governed by a council of vampires and lycanthropes. Sector residents
are offered the freedom to live as they desire provided they stay and abide by the laws handed down.
After being jolted awake by the blaring screech of the sector alarm, Zelina is dragged from her bed,
gagged, and tied to a chair. Confronted with the brutal murder of one of her former classmates, she
realizes that all eyes are on her as the primary suspect. Whether she was involved or not doesn’t matter.
In the eyes of most sector residents, and most Council Members, Zelina is already a pariah—feared for
the powers she will certainly come to possess. For she is the first human known to have both vampire
and lycanthrope blood flowing through her veins. Zelina will find herself on a gripping adventure that will
take her beyond the borders she’s known all her life in an attempt to save those she loves—and herself
from becoming The Hunted.
The Bridge
Sector C Volume 3
Change is happening all around Zelina and with it a prophesy is revealed. Is Zelina the key to unlocking
a new way of existing on earth? What will she do when she discovers the true monsters of Sector C –
the darkness that feeds off of the fear and the unknowing. Will she be able to suspend her own disbelief
about what is possible and secure a new future? With the help of Merick, a motley crew of defectors, and
a host of unexpected allies, Zelina bridges space and time in an attempt to bring forth a new future for all
sentient beings. Join Zelina, Merick, and the others as they discover the power of the prophesy and their
parts in setting their stagnant world free.
I have always been creative, be it art, theatre, film – anything but singing – you don’t want to hear that! I
earned her bachelor’s degree in Theatre and Military Science from EMU where I spent most of my time
either on stage, rappelling down buildings, or working one of three jobs. After college, I moved to Los
Angeles, like so many other want-to-be actors, in pursuit of my dreams. I worked to pay the bills... but
my love was acting and I was actually somewhat successful, mostly in commercials and independent
films and I had a great time doing it.
In 2008, after some major life changes, I self-published her first book PRIVATE WORDS UNSPOKEN, a
compilation of poetry. Since then, my dreams have gotten bigger and I would like to think my storytelling
ability has gotten better. I have done everything from secretarial work to business development to being
the Director of a private preschool. I have fired an M16, jumped out of a C130, and given birth – TWICE -
but I always return to my art.
Though I’ll forever be a Michigan girl at heart, I now live in the South with my husband and two beautiful
children. If I’m not working on my latest story, you can find me lounging with a good book, playing with
my kids, or indulging in my unhealthy addiction to Starbucks coffee.
GUEST POST
Can you, for those who don’t know you already, tell something
about yourself and how you became an author?
I have been a book lover since I was
young and first discovered Stephen King. Although writing had never
been my passion back then. I got my degree in Theatre and had starry
eyed dreams of becoming an actress. I moved out to Los Angeles right
after college and worked for a while booking commercials and a few
movies here and there (not under my current name – sorry to
disappoint). Then, when I got married, my husband got a job
opportunity which took us away from California and “the business”.
I was devastated, but at least I fell into a great theatre community
when we finally settled in our new home.
With a shortage of creative outlets, I
eventually starting writing. I started with a short story that turned
into a 300+ page novel. After that, the only way to get the
characters in my mind to shut up was to write their stories. Now, I
have two complete series (The Blood Angel Series and The SECTOR C
Series) published along with a number of author workbook style guides
and a book of poetry. I find writing to be more relaxing than I ever
imagined and a fun creative outlet where I get to not only act out
each character, but also direct them… at least as much as my
characters allow. For the most part, I just let them lead me through
the story.
Tell us something really interesting
that’s happened to you!
I’m an open book, so I’m not really
sure what I can tell you. I was in the Army ROTC program in college,
with hopes of becoming an officer, but due to an injury that didn’t
pan out. I did however get to attend Army Airborne school at Fort
Benning, GA while I was still a student. The rush of jumping out of a
plane was insane and awesome and completely breathtaking… as in the
wind is so strong its hard to breath. But seriously, it was amazing.
What are some of your pet peeves?
I’ll answer this one in regards to my
writing. I hate writing when my desk is a mess. Now, to be fair, I am
the only one who uses my office so if it’s a mess… its my mess.
Still, I have to do a complete clean of the desktop surface before
I’m able to start working. Its as if the clutter stifles my
creativity. I also need coffee… it doesn’t matter if its early
morning or late in the evening; if I’m writing, I have a cup of
coffee with me.
