Blue Dust: Forbidden
Katy Krump
Genre: Fantasy
Synopsis:
All
teenage girls keep secrets and Kerry Johnston is no exception. More
than anyone else she knows how to lie, for ‘Kerry’ is an alias
and her life is a nightmare of secrecy, violence and fear. In reality
this overweight, limping teenage girl is Qea, a Forbidden child from
the Qarntaz Octad, sent to Earth to hide from the warlord she has
betrayed. Born third into her family in an overpopulated world where
surplus offspring are Forbidden and killed or delivered as fodder for
the malevolent Inquisitors, Qea has spent her life in hiding.
Qea
(Pronounced Kee-ah) is a girl with an unusual history. She comes from
a distant galaxy where warlords rule the law and corruption is rife,
so she must become hard to survive, but here on Earth a young man
will change her heart and risk her life, changing it forever.

Author
Bio:
Katy
was an English and music teacher before almost losing her sense of
humour (and mind) and deciding she needed to devote herself to the
thing she loved most - writing. She published a number of children’s
musicals and then became a full-time television scriptwriter for
children, entered a nationwide scriptwriting competition and was
selected to be on the writing team of a popular South African soap.
She also worked as an advertising copywriter, wrote radio ads and
jingles, educational textbooks and readers...anything writing-related
to keep the wolf from the door. Basically, she’s constantly
writing, books and TV scripts and if not that then plotting, planning
and scheming how to take over the world!
Like
her creation Qea, the feisty heroine in Blue Dust: Forbidden, Katy
understands something about being an alien after she embarked on a
new journey, crossing the galaxy to settle on a new planet (England)
many moons ago. Some like to call this process 'immigration'. Katy is
now a proud possessor of a maroon Intergalactic Wayfarer Permit and
has come to love the aliens she mixes with daily.

But, I got into a bit of trouble a few years ago and Jordan was the social services guy that was assigned to my case. He said he’d arrange that I didn't do any time if I helped him out, so of course I agreed. But he didn't contact me for ages, not till a few months ago. He said there was a girl he wanted me to make friends with and that when he told me to, I was to take her, you, to a meeting with him. But first I had to gain your trust. That’s all, I promise, but I fell for you and I said I wouldn’t. There was something, I don’t know, sinister, and I couldn't do it, so I stalled and that’s when he cornered me and told me to get it done. What’s it all about, Donna? Why does he want you?’ Adam looked so sincere, so earnest, that for a moment Donna thought he was telling the truth, but of course he wasn't, couldn’t be. Could he?
