Here’s a blurb:

In 2050 mankind still believes nature can be conquered. Until The Devastation changes everything.

Green Blood Rising by Lea Tassie

Trees develop a powerful electrical system which zaps anything metal, including people wearing it. Young trees sprout up everywhere, the rapid growth promising to destroy most man-made structures. In days, the supermarkets are stripped bare.

On Wescara, a small holding on Vancouver Island, a family fights to survive. When the power fails and the technology they once took for granted is useless, the struggle escalates as desperate gangs attack, willing to kill for a morsel of food.

Congrats, Lea!

At the time, many scoffed at and berated us for ruining ‘reading’.

We thought it was the coolest sensory experience reading had ever offered.

We still do.

And now, Booktrack is catching on by adding music to ebooks.

Welcome to the party, Booktrack.
