Tonya Kuper writes young adult novels. She first fell in love with reading in elementary school, which eventually lead to earning a BA in elementary education and an MS in reading education, but she never thought she’d write a novel, let alone several. When Tonya isn’t writing, she teaches a Young Adult Literature Writing Workshop at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and is on faculty for the University of Nebraska at Omaha MFA low-residency program. Tonya laughs as much as possible, loves music, and nerds-out over Star Wars and all things pop-culture. She lives in Omaha with her husband and two rad boys.
Alex Boyles has been acting pretty much his entire life. He got his BA in theater–acting/directing performance from CSU Long Beach and his MFA in acting performance from Ohio State University. He started narrating audiobooks in 2019 and hasn’t looked back!
Erica Sullivan is a professional actress of both stage and screen and holds her MFA from the Yale School of Drama. Currently a company member of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, she has performed in New York and regionally with such companies as the Lincoln Center, Soho Repertory Theatre, and New Dramatists. She makes her home in Ashland, Oregon, with her family.

HOWEVER, none of that changes the fundamentally good exploration of what it means to us to present ourselves bef......more
“The United States … has rejected the notion of United Nations peacekeepers operating on American soil.” From first page to last, the description of the behaviour of people and governments around the world, and most particularly, the rabid, belligerent and bellicose reaction of the American peopl......more
I wanted to like this book. I really did. But it ended up being a complete rip-off of Contact, which I can't stand, and I had to power through finishing it. Yes I understand he was inspired by it, I read the thing at the end. But the entire book the only thing I was thinking about was how much this......more
“Debut author Kuper’s sleek prose—saturated with pop-culture references—invites both nerds and the uninitiated into the world of the Oculi…Great twists and the positive message that reality is ours to shape.” Kirkus Reviews
“Lightning-paced thrill-ride, with humor and soul on every page. I couldn’t put it down!” Cecily White, author of Prophecy Girl
