Produktbeschreibung

Timing Is Everything Lucy Mitchell dreamed of celebrating New Year's Eve in Times Square her whole life. Now she awaits the turn of the millennium there, after years of hard work heading off the dreaded Y2K bug. But the bug shows signs of wriggling past her efforts, with its devastating sting intact. Can Lucy head off digital disaster before the clock strikes midnight?

An excerpt from Y2K:

Countdown to the Worst Case Scenario

"Not seeing any errors, no," Chuck said. "But several are offline. A couple of databases, and…huh. HR servers. Email is working, same with the rest of the servers." "I'm going to have to take a look at this myself," Lucy said, "and I can't exactly get to Rio right now. We won't be back in Atlanta until the second."

"I hate to say this, but we can't wait that long. We've got less than an hour until we find out if this bug is going to be widespread in our systems."

"When it hits Buenos Aires," Lucy said, closing her eyes. "No signs of it in Paris or London?"

"Nope, not a trace. If it does hit the Argentina offices, we'll be in for a much bigger shitstorm not long after."

"Yeah. Two hours after that, we're looking at the whole East Coast."

Autorenporträt

Kari Kilgore started her first published novel Until Death in Transylvania, Romania, and finished it in Room 217 at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, where Stephen King got the idea for The Shining. That's just one example of how real world inspiration drives her fiction.

Kari's first published novel Until Death was included on the Preliminary Ballot for the Bram Stoker Award for Outstanding Achievement in a First Novel in 2016. It was also a finalist for the Golden Stake Award at the Vampire Arts Festival in 2018.

Recent professional short story sales include three to Fiction River anthology magazine, with the first due out in the September issue. Kari also has two stories in a holiday-themed anthology project with Kristine Kathryn Rusch due out over the holidays in 2019.

Kari writes fantasy, science fiction, horror, and contemporary fiction, and she's happiest when she surprises herself. She lives at the end of a long dirt road in the middle of the woods with her husband Jason Adams, various house critters, and wildlife they're better off not knowing more about.

Kari's novels, novellas, and short stories are available at www.spiralpublishing.net, which also publishes books by Frank Kilgore and Jason Adams.
