Hi. My pen name is Katrin Greene.I have lived most of my life as an office manager, accountant, auditor, math-geek, and applications specialist. Sometimes this has been in someone's garage. Sometimes, a cube farm. That's my "work life."The life inside my brain??? Well, that's a bit different. A friend once told me its like watching glitterbombs go off like fireworks.My current worlds:The World of Novo: a post-apocalyptic world, twenty years later, and how much fun some people bring into the world.Haven Point: A semi-rookie police officer and her dog in the Adirondacks trying to pay off her student loans and deal with a mother that is gender-biased and trying to marry her off…See you around the stacks sometime! Welcome to Ridge Lake, a small farming community about an hour's drive north of the City-State of Taliville. There, you can visit The Co-op, Yugi's Tavern, or Terry's Cafe. Just be careful not to walk to closely next to the jacketed oxen. Meet this fun cheesecakey apocalyptic world where one day you might be simply sitting behind your desk and the next, outrunning goats and potatoes.The Beginning: Twenty years previous, the City Elite call it Fallen Stars. When scientists decided to change the year calendar from A.D. to N.M. Novo Mutanis…. When the satellites fell, crashing into the land, sea, volcanoes and bio-research stations, releasing a deadly combination of toxic chemicals, diseases, and radiation into the sky. The water… all the water in the world is now acidic. Burning to exposed skin. It has to be purified to be usable. Life on Earth is still struggling to rise. Living in the city means protection from the acid rain. It also means high taxes, high rent, and high prices for the most basic needs. Rainbow Bloods, they are called. Whispered by those who survived wars, starvation, terrorists, disease, and cancer. Those who are different, mutated, are feared.
