Description

What if you found out you were a carefully controlled lab rat, imprisoned in one of the most highly secured facilities, and by the way-you don't have long to live?

Meet the Black Swan...

When impossible to predict events collide, they create what's known as a black swan event-something so incredible it changes how we think about science, technology, and life itself. After gaining superpowers from one such event, Jocelyn becomes Project Sunday-the government's best kept secret.

After losing one family, Jocelyn only wants to keep her science and military family happy. That is, until she finds out the truth...Uncle Laurence is using her as a guinea pig, her brother and sister are alive, and she doesn't have long to live. Now Jocelyn only cares about finding her real family. The problem-breaking out of a highly classified, military facility before the next experiment kills her.

Thankfully, she's not alone. As new friends unite, all from vastly different worlds, they learn the true meaning of friendship and sacrifice when unpredictable events collide again to create the possibility of another Black Swan.

About the Author

About Me: There are few things more important in my writing career than telling a great story, a fun story, and sometimes one that inspires us to be a little better than we are. I hope in reading my books you gained comfort, laughs, or an escape from your every day life. Thank you for spending time with me and my characters as we try to fill pages with laughter, love, and a little adventure. Official Bio: By day, Tricia Cerrone is a Walt Disney Imagineer. By night, Tricia is a passionate writer and novelist, currently working on The Black Swan Files-a young adult series about a teenage girl who has the makings of a new breed of superhero. Glimmer, the first in the series, introduces the heroine's origin story, and her quest to find her family and where she belongs. Glimmer won the 2016 Gold Medal in the Independent Publisher Awards for Best Young Adult Ebook, and was given an Honorable Mention in Genre Fiction from the North Street Book Prize. Ms. Cerrone also writes Historical Romance (for new adults, young adults, and anyone who loves epic love!) under the pen name, Trish Albright. Siren's Song and Siren's Secret in the Keepers of the Legacy series have collected a number of awards. Regardless of what the time or location might be, Tricia's stories are known for their love of family, loyal friendships, dauntless heroes, and of course...heroines who know how to fight for their dreams.
