Prisoner Zero

by Alex Hayes

Join Prisoner Zero as she attempts her escape in this short story prequel to The Firebird’s Gift series.

Prisoner Zero makes a run for it using a lost security card. Along her escape route, through the infrequently used Servants’ Way, she hears the delicate strains of a violin and becomes like a child seduced by the Pied Piper's magic flute.

About the author

Alex Hayes lives in a castle. Not one of those dark, damp ones in England (or Scotland, even) where it rains all the time, but a white one with the view of a volcano where it’s sunny 364 days out of the year.

She hosts four cats. One white queen. Two black knights. And a ginger jester, famed for her impressive backflips and pirouettes.

Alex is considering turning her castle into a cat sanctuary. It all depends on whether she can find a way to pay the food bills. (If you think she should, buy her books. The cats will thank you.)

When she isn’t writing, she's thinking about what to write next, while working on her tan. (Vitamin D rules.)

She’s a vegetarian (almost vegan) who believes in love not war, feminine power, and enjoys singing (usually quite badly).
