A genetically-altered clone. A college graduate. And it's a long way to Canada… Harper Rawls struggles to come to grips with her parents' deaths - but it's not going well. Accompanying her guilt and inadequacy, she's somehow gained the attention of an anti-cloning extremist organization. Out of "respect for her father", they now watch her every move. Ordell Bentley, a genetically-altered clone, flees violence at the hands of the same group. Death stalks him through the nascent jungles of League City, Texas as he makes his way to his lover's house to warn her, only to find Harper instead. The only escape is through the mid-western desert, and Ordell has no food, no money, and no transportation. Hunted by the HPM and an unseen stalker, and plagued by a corporate-sponsored bounty that creeps steadily upward, the future is bleak… Models and Citizens takes place in dystopian future where the climate has moved on, taking with it the jobs and dreams of the people.

Delightful tension on every page. This book will appeal to a wide audience, those who love character-driven, futuristic novels [...] told through the very personal lives of the characters.

Book description
Clones, bounty-hunters, and evil corporations. And a touch of supernatural. In the year 2185, models (or clones) do the jobs that others won’t. Failure to work is punishable by death. Ordell Bentley flees from the violence of the Human Pride Movement and discovers the death of his lover. Ordell chooses to escape rather than return to his life of forced-labor. Harper, his lover’s daughter, hides Ordell from bounty hunters in her family home. Haunted by an unseen stalker, Ordell relies on Harper to help plan his refuge trip. The reward for Ordell’s capture steadily ticks upward…Can Ordell make it to freedom? Will his unlikely friendship with Harper prove to be his undoing?
