In the year 2031, the constant cycles of recession and recovery have collapsed into worldwide economic depression. The Considercast web show has polarized politics so much that the government is completely incapacitated. And Ceres Exley's dream of becoming a guitar goddess has just come to a screeching halt because she refused to honor the appearance clause in her contract requiring her to permanently alter her hair and eye colors.
Back with her family in Carolina, while working for her brother's construction company, Ceres finds herself quarantined on a remote coastal island with her coworkers due to a global pandemic caused by the unanticipated effects of an illegal drug.
A private playground for the very wealthy and longtime home to a family with Gullah roots, Firstkey Island has a unique dynamic. It's here that Ceres finds a kindred spirit-and forms a solartronica, rocktronica, electronica, synthpop sardonica, psychedelic, art-rock band.
Set against the backdrop of the Carolina Low Country's eerie beauty and infused with a killer soundtrack, Ceres Exley: The Quarantine is both a hot paranormal romance and an apocalyptic cautionary tale that asks, "Can music and love heal us before we get to the edge of the cliff and jump off?"
About the Author: Jan Hull is a published poet, a veteran of the construction industry, and a music lover who is fascinated with the paranormal.
A fan of apocalyptic fiction, Hull was inspired to write her dynamic first novel, Ceres Exley: The Quarantine, by her desire to write a story that explores the causes behind an apocalypse, rather than simply rehashing the horrors of the event itself. In Ceres Exley, she creates a dystopian future society that is headed for self-annihilation and asks the question, "Can music and love heal us before we get to the edge of the cliff and jump off?"
