Raze Warfare: Omnibus Edition: Books one to four of the Raze Warfare series
About this ebook
The underworld has a booming economy, capitalising on those who can be snatched from the fringes of society. Those who won’t be missed.
This season it’s all about who can snatch the human products with the best looks. Beauty really is a curse, when you’re on the streets.
Kiddo is the scattered wallflower of his gang. Yet Kid has caught the attention of the mysterious snatcher hunter, Raze. And, he’s also managed to become the hottest thing on the snatcher list of ten out of tens. He’s practically an eleven.
Kiddo may be the key to taking down the underworld snatchers. And Raze may be the key to keeping Kid alive, as the Raze gang must face the cunning of the rising underworld king, Yorak the Wolf.
The Wolf loves a challenge, especially in the form of the original Raze, and the beautiful wallflower, who have challenged his empire. It suddenly becomes more dangerous to be coveted instead of killed.
Raze Warfare centres around a diverse gang-turned-family, and the evolving relationship between Kiddo and Raze – opposites attract. Every night the gang wage war on the snatchers; fighting for social justice, empowerment, a challenge to the system. All while battling their own demons. Learning difficulties, trauma, street violence, addiction, class divisions, marginalisation, and human trafficking. Girls are kick-ass members of the gang. Sexualities are open. There’s a bisexual awakening. There’s some gender bending. There’s a vengeful vigilante, back from the horrors of having been sold.
This is a contemporary, New Adult series. Join the action and enjoy the ride.
About the author
Funnily enough, I was not always a natural writer let alone author. I was terrible at maths, and was such a dunce with reading and writing that I had to do special programs (I stayed down in PREP!) to help my five year old self catch up.
My sister made sure I knew the funny little shapes that made up the letters to my name, but I was otherwise the child who stared out the window, coloured the pictures rather than solving the activity sheet problems, and asked questions that had already been answered.
Thanks to my miraculous childhood teachers, and my persistent mother, I went from drawing squiggles and mumbling/fake reading when it was my turn to read aloud in class ... to devouring picture books and everything beyond.
I remember groaning every time mum made me sound out each word, reading each excruciating sentence over and over and feeling like I was never going to get it. I also remember feeling like the school library was a barrier, a place to feel embarrassed and jealous, until one day all of that practice seemed to make sense. I hadn't even realised it was happening until I half-heartedly-picked up 'Green Eggs and Ham' and realised I didn't have to fake read it - even on my own.
I can't explain the shift in who I was at that moment. I was no longer the kid who was stuck. I was the kid who had proud parents, and who was given a whole Dr. Seuss book set to celebrate.
I was the kid who came to rely on books for an escape from high school and who started writing for myself.
I was also the kid who was never cured of the maths issues though. This isn't a fairy tale after all.
