The Mistake

by Sue Duff

Born in the 45th century, Idarra is an evolutionary glitch, a mistake. She’s inherited the serial killer gene, believed to have been eradicated centuries earlier. Sentenced to live in New York City in the year 2020, Idarra keeps to the shadows to avoid the wrath of her watchers who will use any excuse to execute her. But when Idarra experiences blackouts and wakes up smeared in blood, she questions if she is a mistake—or an engineered weapon.

About the author

Sue has been writing since high school but never became serious about it until a skiing accident laid her up for an entire summer and she turned on the word processor to combat the boredom. A couple years later, her first urban fantasy novel, Fade to Black, was a finalist in the RMFW Colorado Gold Writing Contest. By day, she’s a dedicated speech-language therapist in an inner city school district to pay the bills but her life as a writer is her true passion and the creative outlet keeps her sane.

Sue is a member of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers and The Pikes Peak Writers. Her creativity extends into her garden and the culinary arts. She is the second oldest of six girls with an avid reader mom and her dad, the family’s single drop of testosterone in a sea of estrogen. Fate thought it hilarious to give her a son but maternal instincts swing both ways and she didn’t break the little bugger. She lives in Colorado with her miniature dachshund, Snickers and hears from her son, Jonathan whenever he needs something.
