Life hadn’t been easy to him either. We were both orphans, and I knew the same pull to belong, to have a place, to have a home that he did. But we were separated by a great divide. He was a Vintage. I was Queen of the Zombies. One of us got to pretend we were like everyone else, and the other was alone. © 2019 Olivia Orndorff 3 days out!
My body curved around hers. It took me a long time to close my eyes, too enthralled by the sight of our arms intertwined. The room too dark to share the secret that my tattoos swam up my arms, and Ilfy’s stayed static. I stumbled into my shift at the bar late. Too happy to care. Too excited about feeling happy to care. Because she was beautiful. It had been so long since I’d felt worthy of even looking at beauty, let alone to touch. © 2019 Olivia Orndorff 4 days out!
The ward screamed at my temples wanting to keep me inside, keep me safe, if only I listened. I stepped outside the ward’s boundaries and the ward tried to reach me, reach outside its wall crying out like every mother who’s cautioned their child in high places, and then the ward shattered into a million pieces. © 2019 Olivia Orndorff 5 days out!

They weren’t dreams. Never dreams. Just voices lingering in my mind, faint echoes of souls I now carried, drifting out to play when my walls lifted. I heard them, the cant of the wards, the Vietnamese of a sailor. Only one’s voice spoke in my childhood Creole. A lullaby that soothed me deeper and deeper into darkness. © 2019 Olivia Orndorff Your first sneak-peek of the book! 3 weeks to go!!
The woman hadn’t moved from the door as she assessed the room. She felt wilder to me. Like marionberries growing from the cracks of an abandoned building, stretching out toward the sky for sun. Tasted, tasted slightly bitter, though familiar, aged. I felt her gaze seep into my bones, as the very cells of my blood threatened to boil over. Last time Eliza Wong and I had been in the same room, she had tried to kill me and almost succeeded. © 2019 Olivia Orndorff Need something to tide you over until release date?

My caretaker used to tell me stories, as caretakers do, of when the world was new. When the world was made up of continents and not islands; of nations, not cities; when people traveled in the air, outracing sound, over water; when healers worked not with their hands, but with machines. She told me of the sun shining, of the snow burying the world in white, of animals kept as family—of families, not clans, tribes or corporations. Of a world without magic. Without gene modification. Without pollution covering the sky. Without people like me. When the world was new. But that, as she always ended every story, every phrase, every glance, was a very, very long time ago. Secrets dominate Rue’s life in post-apocalyptic Chicago. When her past comes and swings around old favors for Rue’s help, Rue can no longer hide in the shadow pretending she is a powerless, normal human—a dud. Instead, she will have to lose carefully earned control and cause some damage in order to save her new lover and old family. © 2019 Olivia Orndorff  It’s been quiet on the blog and twitter (truthfully, I’m always quiet on twitter), but hopefully this post makes up for it!
Here is the cover for my next book Don’t Belong to No City, which takes place in futuristic Chicago. The first book in an entirely new series! Mark your calendars for the release date on May 24. Perfect for your Memorial day weekend! I can’t wait to share my new story with you! Check back in for excerpts and other fun surprises leading up to the release date.
