Blue Running

In the new Republic of Texas, guns are the law and nothing is forgiven.

Bluebonnet Andrews is on the run across the Republic of Texas. An accident with a gun killed her best friend, but everyone in the town of Blessing thinks it was murder. Even her father - the town’s drunken deputy - believes she did it. Now, she has no choice but to run. In Texas, murder is punishable by death.

There’s no one to help her. Her father is incapable, and her mother left the state on the last flight to America before the secession. Blue doesn’t know where she is now, but she’s determined to track her down. First though, she has to get across the lawless Republic and over the wall that keeps everyone in.

On the road she meets Jet, a pregnant young woman of Latin American heritage. Jet is secretive about her past, but she’s just as determined as Blue to get out of Texas before she’s caught and arrested.

Together, the two form an unlikely kinship as they make their way past marauding motorcycle gangs, the untrustworthy Texas Rangers, and armed strangers intent on abducting them - or worse.

Even if Blue and Jet reach the wall, they face armed vigilantes who guard the border with murderous intensity. No one is allowed in or out of the Republic alive.

But some things are worth dying for.
