Cyborg Dreams: The Awakening

“A bright new voice in telling futuristic stories. Welcome to my bookshelf!”
- H.L. Osterman, editor Robots and Rust Buckets

In this fanciful new sci-fi novel, you meet Catherine Newton, a mousy-but-neat English teacher assigned to a small desert mining town in Colorado, one of those conclaves that sprung up after the War of 2020 had decimated all the major cities in the US. Catherine is doing well here … maybe. She has a handsome boyfriend. A protective dog. A concerned principal. A silver-level student in her homeroom class. Fellow teachers not to be trusted. So why was she having these strange nightmares -- a cyborg demanding she help him shut down the mine? H.A. Burns creates a future world that seems almost normal … until it isn’t.

H.A. Burns lives in a rainy Seattle suburb with her fur babies: a Siberian Husky, an orange tabby cat and an equally scruffy husband. She has been an engineer in the aerospace industry ever since proudly graduating with a degree in Materials Science & Engineering from the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. She has been telling stories to entertain her four siblings her whole life and is constantly coming up with book ideas inspired by dreams, advancements in science and technology, and all the interesting people she meets.
