Debut Novelist Elizabeth Means
Hourglass
What would you do if you knew exactly when you would die?
Like everyone else in the 24th century United States, ambitious young scientist Evergreen Mason knows the precise minute she will die. When she hears that a sixteen-year-old girl has surpassed her predicted lifespan, she is compelled to solve the existential riddle of what allowed her to be the only known survivor of her biological clock.
But Evergreen’s unrelenting search for answers is not without peril. The shocking truth could bring society to its knees, and those in power will stop at nothing to keep it secret.
Can Evergreen expose the government’s ghastly plot, or will the next clock that stops be her own?
If you like Black Mirror or books by Michael Crichton, Margaret Atwood, and Hugh Howey, you’ll love the themes of technology and society gone wrong told through the eyes of Means’s compelling characters. Hourglass is the next thrilling dystopian read for your list!

Glacier Haven
Ice, murder, and betrayal. The full polar climate experience.
Thirty years into the future, polar ice is mostly gone and snow is a novelty. A corporation offers tourists a unique wintry adventure in their atmospherically controlled, underground attraction: Glacier Haven.
Rach is a reluctant wing-woman for her ambitious best friend’s misguided meetup in the subterranean artificial glacier. But when she and six other tourists are left behind over a long weekend, locked inside the frozen tundra, tempers flare, relationships are strained, and Rach begins to suspect one of them was never meant to leave the facility alive.
Will Rach and her party escape the deadly frigid cavern in time? And if they do, will any of them ever be the same?
If you like shows like Black Mirror, or science fiction thrillers by Michael Crichton, Blake Crouch, or John Marrs you’ll love this speculative thriller. Means will draw you in with her compelling cast of characters and toy with your emotions, leaving you wanting more.
Glacier Haven is available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited
About Elizabeth
Hello Reader!
Hi, I'm Elizabeth and I'm an independent writer and author. Readers who enjoy Black Mirror, Michael Crighton, Margaret Atwood, John Marrs and Hugh Howey will find similar themes in my books. My dream is to put out content that entertains and leaves the reader wanting more. Little about me: I've always been an avid reader in a wide variety of genres. My philosophy is that life is too short to read a bad book and I hope to create books that people don't want to put down. In my day job, I'm a real-life scientist *nudges imaginary glasses up nose* and love it. Other things I love include science, travel, wine, dogs, books & libraries, ballet, piano; the latter two are things I am exceptionally amateur at.
