Description
Daphne is a fourteen-year-old girl who leads a life of wealth and privilege but also great loneliness. She is the daughter of the CEO of a biotech mega-company who has gone missing, and a beautiful but failed movie star of a mother. Her wish to escape her little bubble and explore the outside world becomes true when her life gets torn apart in a rash of violent riots and The Sickness, as the downtrodden rise up against the privileged and the dead pile up. Homeless and on the run, she navigates this new world and tries to uncover the true nature of her father’s company.
A coming of age story in a dark future.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"The Gilded Lynx by Leah Erickson is a breathtaking tale about maturation, civil unrest, and corruption. The author shows us dreamy scenes with abhorrent excess before taking us to the gritty streets. Think of The Secret Garden with rhinestoned gas masks, and you’ll have an accurate idea of The Gilded Linx. It’s lovely in its ugliness." —Mercedes Murdock Yardley, Stoker Award winning author of Little Red Dead, Nameless: The Darkness Comes, and Pretty Little Dead Girls: A Novel of Murder and Whimsy.
"It's incredibly smart, accessible...it addresses fascinating issues. Not only issues that are uncommon to young adult fiction, but issues that are rarely discussed in fiction period." --Benoit Lelievre, Dead End Follies
Marketing Plan
I have the ebook up quietly now so that I can collect verified reviews before the launch. I have it up at Librarything where it is collecting a lot of views. I plan to do free book days through Kindle Select as soon as I have collected 8-10 reviews. I have won an Independent Press Award, an NYC Big Book Award, and a silver medal in the Readers' Choice Awards, among others. My previous novel, "The Brambles," was an Amazon best seller in its category. I hope to replicate that success with The Gilded Lynx.
