Blood Numbers by C.F. Kreitzer Genre: YA Dystopian

There are only two kinds of people left on the earth: Donors and Recipients. Sixteen-year-old Aston Vazeto hates the idea of selling her blood for money and is determined to be the first Donor in New World history to never donate. But after a suspicious accident at her father’s power plant leaves her family diving deeper into poverty, Aston has no other choice except to enter the annual blood auctions, where Recipients bid on the richest blood. With the highest test results ever seen, Aston’s blood becomes the most sought-after in history, and will likely bring a large price at auctions. When her friends are caught tampering with their donations, they are arrested and tortured. Knowing she puts her family’s safety and income at risk Aston takes advantage of an opportunity to escape donation facility drugs meant to keep Donors complacent. Free to feel and free to love she is caught between Gannet, a kind facility technician, and Marcus, a sarcastic rebel like herself. Dancing at Blood Auction Balls and kissing a donor in coat closets under the stairs has Aston confused between joining the uprising she hears rumors about or merely following the life her blood was meant to lead.

I grew up with a pretty normal childhood, running barefoot in the Appalachian mountains, playing with turtles and innocently killing them by leaving them on their backs so I could play house with them again the next day. I don’t think I always dreamed of being an author. It was just something I did. I made up stories about my dead turtles. I named my fingers and let them battle out family feuds. I wrote about myself in my journal when what I wished would happen was better than what actually did (sorry, Mom for the scare. I still promise I never really snuck over to a party and kissed my brothers friend). What a wonderful surprise when something “I just did” suddenly became something others enjoyed. I’m so forever grateful to my publisher for giving me a chance to share my not-so-normal stories with the whole world. Website * Facebook * Twitter * Instagram * Amazon * Goodreads

I am a writer of contemporary and speculative fiction and artist of all things monster. I live to create new worlds and the people in them. Several of my books have been best sellers both nationally and internationally. I have also been a finalist in the LAMDA awards, the “Oscars” of gay literary works. I do my best to write original stories with powerful characters and emotion as well as a fast-paced plot. My goal isn’t just to deliver a good story but to take the reader into the story and let them experience the characters as if they are right there with them. While almost all my books have a romantic element, I will be the first to admit, they are not traditional romance. In fact, I’d like to think there is nothing traditional about them. And the stories I paint are done so way outside the lines of traditional genres. One of my favorite things to do as a writer is push the boundaries of what makes a story and to deliver the unexpected and maybe even change the perspective of the reader. My characters are more often than not, beautifully flawed, not always the good guy, and make mistakes. Their stories will take dark turns which, in the end, make the light at the end of the tunnel all the brighter. If you’re looking for something different, exciting, and unique, my books are for you.

When Marcel first allowed things to become physical between them, Jacob spent his money on the best
slacks and silk shirts.
Marcel didn’t give him a large allowance. The idea Jacob found a need to spend it in order to impress
him was pleasing, but not important. Jacob did not need fancy clothes to make him beautiful. Besides,
the fancy clothes had not erased his self-doubt, his thoughts of inadequacy, the secret fear he would
never, could never not be loved.
All of those things played in the way he moved, how he looked around a room, clenched his fists,
swallowed hard, the sweat on his brow, the jump of muscle in his jaw.
Marcel read these facts as if they’d been written in print. Just like he read Jacob’s past in the faint white
lines left behind on his body from years of mistreatment.
A man or woman of worth did not mistreat the lives given to him. Whether taken as a gift or sacrificed in
the flesh. They were meant to be cherished, each one special and unique.
No. Jacob didn’t need fancy clothes because you could not give more value to something already
priceless.

“Close the door.”
Jacob did.
The room was large enough to leave plenty of floor space between the king-sized bed and the wardrobe.
A full bathroom occupied the alcove on the right side. On the left, a set of windows.
From the outside, those windows appeared as any other in the house. But on the inside they were
covered just like the walls, ceiling, floor, and door, in acoustic paneling.
Even if someone stood right outside, a scream was nothing more than a muted hum.
All the pain, suffering, and hate festering in Jacob could manifest in ear-shattering pleas, and no one
would hear. Marcel had hoped to have emptied him of those feelings by now, but the well inside Jacob
was deep and reluctant to give up the terrible things it housed.
One day though, one day, Marcel would find a way to scrape the last of those festering thoughts from
Jacob’s soul and leave them in the sun to rot.
Not because Marcel cared, but because weakness was a terrible disease to be inflicted with. A sickness
no human should suffer.
Jacob exhaled a shuddering breath. The flush across his cheeks darkened. His lips parted. The bulge in
the front of his jeans strained.
But he would wait in silence, struggling to remain still, as long as Marcel wanted.
On occasion, it was hours.
Today wasn’t one of those days. Today, Jacob needed what Marcel could give him.
