Day Twenty-Three: THE MURDER COMPLEX + Giveaway!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Book Profile

Name - The Murder Complex (Goodreads)
Author - Lindsay Cummings
Genre - YA Futuristic Thriller
Release Date - June 10th 2014

An action-packed, blood-soaked, futuristic debut thriller set in a world where the murder rate is higher than the birthrate. For fans of Moira Young’s Dust Lands series, La Femme Nikita, and the movie Hanna.

Meadow Woodson, a fifteen-year-old girl who has been trained by her father to fight, to kill, and to survive in any situation, lives with her family on a houseboat in Florida. The state is controlled by The Murder Complex, an organization that tracks the population with precision.

The plot starts to thicken when Meadow meets Zephyr James, who is—although he doesn’t know it—one of the MC’s programmed assassins. Is their meeting a coincidence? Destiny? Or part of a terrifying strategy? And will Zephyr keep Meadow from discovering the haunting truth about her family?


Available - The Book Depository | Fishpond | Amazon | Barnes and Noble 

The Insider's Scoop

1) The Murder Complex was always the original title! I was so happy that it never changed.

2) Meadow Woodson is me…Zephyr James is my husband. (Except I don't murder people, and my husband doesn't do that MAJOR thing that Zephyr does to change his and Meadow's life.) We have all the same character traits, personality ticks, and looks.

3) Originally, The Murder Complex was only 50,000 words long! When it sold, I added about that much to it!

4) It took me 2 weeks to write the first draft of TMC….and then 2 years to edit it.

5) While I was writing TMC, I carried a knife around with me, so I would know how Meadow always felt carrying her weapon.

6) THE FEAR TRIALS is a Murder Complex prequel novella, from Meadow's point of view. It's coming out a month before book 1 :) So you guys will get a taste of the world ahead of time. That book is all about Meadow's training!

    You know what happens to REALLY good series? The last book makes you wish for oblivion. It ends up being like, "that's it? wow." I sincerely hope this series is going to be epic. Because of the blurb which is making me WANT TO READ.

    Intense story, no doubt, and I like the idea of reading the novella too.
    Two years of edition? It that the usual thing? It reminds of Patrick Rothfuss ;-)

    I love that she carried a knife around with her. That makes me laugh... and maybe a little anxious! But the best part is definitely that the characters are modeled after the author and her hubby. Very cool!

    On #5 I was thinking to myself that while the author was writing with a knife in her hand to get a feel of the character-what if she got caught up into writing and someone had got the author startled.... This book sounds good and im dying to read it!!!!
