Peace. Love. Order. Dome. That’s the motto that the Order has given the residents of Dome 1618 to live by. Natalia Greyes is a resident of Dome 1618, a covered city protected from the deadly radiation that has poisoned the world outside for four generations. Nat never questioned the Order, until one day she sees a stranger on the outside of the dome. Now Nat wants answers. Is there life outside the dome and if so, what has the Order been hiding from everyone?

Author Interview:
Some fun questions:
5. If you had to pick one of these dystopian book worlds to live in, which would you pick, and why?
Hunger Games is definitely my favourite, but it’s too messed up to live there. I’m just starting Legend now. I haven’t read Uglies, and The Giver is just too screwed (they kill babies!), so I’ll take Divergent.

Author Bio:
Melanie McFarlane is a passionate writer of other-wordly adventures, a little excitable, and a little quirky. Whether it’s uncovering the corruption of the future, or traveling to other worlds to save the universe, she jumps in with both hands on her keyboard. Though she can be found obsessing over zombies and orcs from time to time, Melanie focuses her powers on writing young adult stories to keep the rest of the world up reading all night.
She lives with her husband and two daughters in the Land of Living Skies.
Thanks for hosting today, Lisa! 🙂
No problem!
Thank you for the interview ?
Thanks for answering my questions! I am a bit of a pantser when I try to write, I wish I was better with the whole outlining and plotting thing. 🙂
Fun interview – thanks for sharing! I'd be quite frightened to live in The Giver and The Hunger Games worlds, and I don't know the others (never read them haha)

The Giver sounds like it wouldn't be that horrible, for the most part, until you realized what all was going on. And The Hunger Games would be scary! Thanks for stopping by!
