Beyond the Checkpoint

by Sandy Hyatt-James

Britain one hundred and twenty years from now, where society is divided into two groups: The Birchpeople, who are largely uneducated workers, and the Larchpeople, who run the country. Angered by the Larchpeople's repression of his people, Marcus Langan, a Birchman, heads a rebel army. Afraid of his power, the Government sends Maxine Dowling, from the Larch Enclave, to spy on him. Loathing then turns to love, simultaneous with peace turning to bloody revolution. In the aftermath, Marcus faces the betrayal of his own kind, as well as the revelation of a secret which Maxine had tried to keep from him.

About the author

I am an Englishwoman currently living in Bulgaria. While living in England, I spent eleven years as a child protection social worker, the last three of which were as a manager. I learned a lot about the human race from doing this work. I think this has helped me to add believability to the characters in my books.
I enjoy reading anything with compelling stories.
In my spare time, I also like to walk in the Bulgarian countryside, and go ten-pin bowling with my husband.
