Autora
S.M. McEachern was born in Nova Scotia, Canada. She attended Dalhousie University in the 1990s where she earned an Honours Degree in International Development Studies. She worked in the field of International Development for several years, specializing in ocean development.

"Sunset Rising" is S.M. McEachern's first novel. She says the idea for the story first came to her in the 1990s when she researched a Bio-Dome experiment in Arizona for an academic paper. The thought that the world might one day need a Bio-Dome to escape a global catastrophe set her imagination into overdrive. And the ethics behind such an idea formed the backdrop for Sunset Rising.

Her goal in writing the novel is to entertain the reader with an interesting plot and colourful characters.

S.M. McEachern nació en Nueva Escocia, Canadá. Fue a la Universidad Dalhousie en los 90 donde consiguió una carrera con honores en Estudios de Desarrollo Internacional. Tabajó en el campo del Desarrollo Internacional durante varios años y se especializó en desarrollo oceánico.

"Sunset Rusing" fue su primera novela. Ella dice que la idea se le ocurrió por primera vez en los 90 cuando estudiaba un experimento de sistemas ecológicos cerrados en Arizona para un trabajo académico. El pensamiento de que un día el mundo podría necesitar uno para escapar de la catástrofe global activó su imaginación. Y la ética tras tal idea formó el telón de fondo de Sunset Rising.

Extracto
With a start I woke, sensing something different. Disoriented, I looked around the room. It was dimly lit in a foreign way—as if someone turned half a light on. In the Pit, the lights were either on or off. There was no in-between. A sliver of yellow filtered through the slit in the curtains and fell across the bed. I put my hand into the stream of light. It was warm.
After a night spent clinging to the side of the mattress, my muscles were stiff. Slowly I stretched out my limbs and felt Jack beside me. At least I had stayed on my side.
Quietly, I rolled off the bed and padded to the window to look outside. The top of the sun was barely visible above the mountains, but already its fingers were reaching out and stealing the darkness from night. It was already too bright to tolerate and I reached for my sunglasses on the bedside table. Jack was awake, his blue eyes quietly regarding me.
“Want to see your first sunrise?” I asked.
He left the bed and came to stand behind me and I pulled the curtains open wider. In the backyard a bird was singing, heralding the arrival of a new day. I searched the trees for the creature but couldn’t see it. Then it flew to another tree, flashing its red wings. Another bird joined it and together they chirped, their throats pulsating.
Jack’s arms circled my waist. “Amazing,” he whispered against my ear.
I relaxed into him, resting my head against the side of his. As the rising sun caressed my face, the warmth of his bare chest gently pressed against me. It probably wasn’t a good idea considering our no-romance agreement. But it was the single most beautiful moment of my entire existence and I was loath to give it up. I put my hands over his, holding him there.
I’m not sure how long we stood together at the window, but our fragile bond was broken when a guard stood up and stretched. We hadn’t noticed him leaning against the back of the house. Jack dropped his arms and stepped away from me. I shivered from the cool air that rushed in to take the place of his body heat.
Sorteo

La portada del primer libro me cautivó y, aunque aún no he tenido tiempo de leerlo, en cuanto me ponga con él compraré el siguiente. Creo que tienen una sinopsis muy prometedora y que me va a gustar. Sigo pensando que lo malo de los libros que se promocionan a través de Book Blitzes es que suelen venderse únicamente a través de Amazon o B&N, y para mí son páginas peores en cuanto a gastos de envío que, por ejemplo, Booky. Pero hay libros que merece la pena conocer, aunque solo se vendan en esas plataformas ^^
