But the raitgur took everything. Her mother. Her sister. So if setting herself on fire is the price of vengeance, she'll pay it. Except the burns are getting worse. Her father's power is guttering. The city's infection is spreading. And Nike wonders how much more she can take. Isn't it her turn to burn?
Autorenporträt
Michael F. Stewart embraces all forms of storytelling. In 2009, he created Bully For You for Scholastic Canada, a fully functioning social media platform with an embedded interactive story. He's written graphic novels for Rubicon Publishing's Boldprint series, illustrated early readers and novellas for Pearson (coming in 2019!), non fiction texts on Corruption and Children's Rights; he even tried to convince the world that we needed a location based storytelling app with augmented reality (NARR8R)-we still do! He's written adult horror, sci-fi, urban fantasy, and adventure. He's even written books you'll never find. But nothing is ever wasted. His most recent book, Counting Wolves, a contemporary YA, was named to Kirkus Reviews "Best Books of 2017" list. The Boy Who Swallows Flies (2018) won Killer Nashville's Claymore Award, and the Assured Destruction Series won The Creation of Stories: Best YA Award at the Toronto International Book Fair. In 2016, Michael was selected to join the CFC/Entertainment One TV Adaptation Lab. Herder of four daughters, Michael lives to write in Ottawa where he was the Ottawa Public Library's Writer in Residence and runs free writing workshops.
