Welcome! Your book sounds great!!
I entered the giveaway, but I'll probably snatch this up even if I don't win. "Playthings" was one of our favorite eps of Supernatural. I live in CT, and we don't get much set here!This book sounds like it's up my alley. Not to mention...well...::gestures broadly:: We're not too far off if things keep going the way they're going.

I'm new to the group, and new to writing speculative fiction, though I've had six novels published before and also written for TV: Law & Order, House, Pretty Little Liars, Supernatural, and other shows. My dystopian thriller 51% comes out on April 28 from Level Best Books; NBC has hired me to write a TV adaptation. You can enter a book giveaway for 51% here: https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh....
In a future where corporations own everything—including people—one murder ignites a revolution.
Twenty years from now, the United States is completely privatized. The Big Six syndicates own schools, roads, police departments… even human beings.
When a young immigrant woman—51% owned by the syndicates—is brutally murdered, NYPD, Inc. detective Juke O'Keefe and his partner, crime marketing consultant Haylee Navarro, catch the case. Pregnant and broke, Haylee knows they can’t crowdfund enough from a dead immigrant to pay for basic forensics, let alone their paychecks. But Juke, with his old-school sense of justice, is determined to find the killer.
Their search for the truth leads them to Juke’s ex, a Resistance leader on the syndicates’ most wanted list. As the three join forces, they stumble onto a conspiracy designed to destroy the last shreds of American freedom. To rescue fifty-one percenters—and everyone else—from syndicate control, they’ll have to defeat the Red Queen, the most ruthless, powerful AI in the world.
51% is a gritty, fast-paced thriller about power, justice, and what happens when everything—even people—can be owned.
I hope you'll check out 51%!
Cheers,
Matt Witten
