A huge thank you to Illustrious Illusions for having me on the blog today!
In my guest post I’m going to share an excerpt from the Genesis Project.
Excerpt:
Vaggo smiled down at the squirming infant in his arms. Genetics was a tricky thing, but he’d finally gotten it right. The infant was perfect in every way. It hadn’t mattered what the final outcome produced gender wise, as long as everything inside worked. What he’d gotten was a perfect little miracle, with ice-blue eyes surrounded by a golden circle, and a crown of silky black hair. Her skin a beautiful honey-almond, shimmered under the fluorescent lights. He’d yet to give the infant a name and didn’t know if he should.
A flawless face stared up at him in recognition. Beneath her skin he could see flecks of gold and blue veins, intertwined as they pulsed with life. An oddity he was sure, but out of her oddness was perfection.
He’d copied the genetic code from old text books that he’d gathered from the science section at the Hall of Records. The books pre-dated the first Uni-war. The pages had been unmarred by time and soiled fingers, still legible and clear. How she ended up looking unlike her kind was an anomaly. But she was growing at an accelerated rate and it concerned him. What if she died due to her rapidly aging body and he wasn’t able to harness her genetic material in time for proper research? What if she fell ill? Vaggo stared down at the restless baby and decided then and there that he wouldn’t allow for either of those possibilities to occur. She was his and he would keep her alive, always. The baby needed a name, and only one would do. Genesis.
Thanks again for having me on the blog today!

Back Cover:
Old earth has been deemed
unsuitable for life, New Earth is home. With the Uni-Wars over, races have
joined together in order to sustain their way of life. All life was considered
worth saving, but only one race failed to submit. Humans.
Now extinct, humans are a thing
of the past. The people of New Earth won’t acknowledge their hand in their
eradication, but they have benefited from it. Dr. Vaggo Blackmore has found the
answer, he’s restored his races way of life- sustenance through farming. The
one thing that will give them back their long lives….. Blood, human blood.
Biologically engineered in a
lab, Genesis Blackmore has always been different. Her father has told her it’s
due to her enhancements, the Federated Council sees her as a genetic mutation;
and her fellow peers see her as the shiny new toy. Gen has had better days.
Everyone on New Earth has milky
white skin, platinum blonde hair, and electric blue eyes. It’s the norm.
Genesis’ glossy, black hair, ice blue eyes ringed by gold, would have almost
made her socially acceptable- if it wasn’t for her golden skin and blue, gold
veins. In a sea of milky white she alone is the dark anomaly.
All Pars get their life’s
nourishment through blood plasma. All Pars find their match through the tasting.
Gen can do neither, forbidden by her father to do so. She can neither taste,
nor be tasted. Something that’s never bothered her until now.
