Sharon Rene: Hesitant Heroes
Hello everyone. Welcome to Trumpet Tuesday.
My name is Sharon Rene and my young adult/dystopian book, Hesitant Heroes, launched on September 7, 2021.
In 2062, a teenage computer geek must stop an assassination and rescue her kidnapped friends.
In Hesitant Heroes, a group of diverse teens from all over the planet are sent to a special high school for gifted teens. They must bond with one another and rely on their faith when they stumble into a corrupt government plot.
Jordan Scott, the main character has joined us today and she’s going to tell us a little about her life and experiences.
Sharon: Hello Jordan. Thank you for taking the time to talk with us today. I know you have a very busy and exciting life.
Jordan: Thank you for interviewing me. I’m happy to share my story with anyone who’ll listen.
Sharon: So, what is your story? Tell us about yourself.
Jordan: My name is Jordan Scott, and I was born in Old Memphis which is part of the North American Collective. When Hesitant Heroes begins in September 2062, I’m sixteen years old. I’m a little shy and struggle with fear issues.
Sharon: You are a student at Global Collective University (GCU). Can you tell us more about GCU?
Jordan: GCU was established by the Global Collective government. Students from all over the planet attend GCU. The government chooses who will attend. Each student has a special skill or talent. I’m a computer whiz. My friends have a variety of talents.
Sharon: You and your friends are in a group called “Team Seven.” Please tell us more about them.
Jordan: Hannie Jacobson is my roommate. She’s from Israel and an expert at battle planning.
Timberlyn is from the African Collective. She can tame animals and she knows how to heal with herbs.
Malese is from the Pacific Collective. She’s a martial arts champ.
Laurel Connor is a ballerina from the European Collective.
Now for the boys.
Matthew Thomas is a super jock from the North American Collective and I have a huge crush on him.
Rafael Alvarado is a marksman from the Latin Collective.
Victor Petro is a weightlifter from the Baltic Collective.
Then there’s Dawson Montgomery. Ugh! He’s a real piece of work from the European Collective. He thinks he’s better than everyone at GCU.
Sharon: Can you tell us about the adults in the book?
Jordan: Oh boy! They are a mess. Cimarron Butler is our dorm master, and she takes the word master very seriously. The government is controlled by a wacky brother and sister team, Hunter and River Wallis.
There is one awesome adult and she’s a politician. Can you believe it? Her name is Sierra Stone and she’s my hero.
Sharon: You and Team Seven get into a lot of trouble at GCU. What happens?
Jordan: Christian students disappear from campus. We start investigating and before we know it we’re fighting the government. If you like adventure, come join us as we travel from the Alps to Old Venezuela searching for the missing students and trying to save Sierra Stone’s life.
Sharon: I encourage anyone who likes to read exciting young adult dystopian with a touch of romance to grab a copy of Hesitant Heroes.
Available at Amazon and Anaiah Press.
Thank you, Julie for letting Jordan and me tell everyone about Hesitant Heroes.
