Interrupted In Olaiya

(Olaiya Book 2)

 

Nat continues her search for safety and significance as she tries to figure out why she's in Olaiya and how she can help the Rebs' cause. Danger is everywhere, and people are disappearing right and left. Nat is confronted by guards and taken away from her unit. Though it's hard for her to figure out why she's been removed from Building 8, this is the catalyst that will take her on an adventure that has her meeting unexpected Rebs and gaining unwanted allies. She's learning about herself on her own, while also hunting with others for information that might help convince outside forces to care about what's going on in the Old Los Angeles Area community.

Book Two of the Olaiya series will have you on the edge of your seat, tracking with Nat as her world widens and her concern about what's happening deepens. She's survived up to this point, but she can't figure out what's going on with the Masters, and she's not sure anyone is going to make it out alive.

Can she trust the people she's working with? Why aren't the Rebs doing more? And what's actually happening behind the scenes?

Interrupted in Olaiya is a cozy dystopian, that follows a strong female character. Nat is creative, loves nature, and would score in the 160s if she took the Raads test.

Interrupted In Olaiya

(New Release - 2025)

The use of these pictures is for internet depiction only. Actual characters will vary according to the reader’s imagination.

Female protagonist Nat-5 of Building 8 is shown in black and white. Nat, with short brown hair and a steady gaze lives in Olaiya, a futuristic socitey in Los Angeles.

Nat’s inability to remember who she is begins to mix with her uncertainty about what’s happening in Olaiya, and she finds herself asking the question, “Who would I discover if I was allowed to be myself?”

Unit brother to the protagonist of awake in olaiya, Titch has bright blond hair and a friendly face thats freckled. His smile is evident despite the circomstances of living in futuristic california and the chaos of his community.

Titch is carefree, and might enjoy his life more than anyone else in Building 8. But he asks weird questions, and his eyes seem strangely bright. Does he know something Nat doesn’t?

Wild, feminine hair is pulled up ontop of Thena's head.  With sharp eyebrows, strong cheekbones, and a harsly set mouth, its easy to tell that she is in charge of the whole community of Oliaya. Glasses frame her eyes, and huge hoop earings hang from her ears: something only a Master is allowed to wear.

Thena is the most terrifying of the Olaiya Masters. Why is she here investigating night noises? Nat’s screams in the middle of the night aren’t important enough to bring a Master to this building to investigate what’s going on, are they?

Moody looking 26 year old male protagonist lost straight ahead, while wearing a jean jacket. His dark hair goes to either side of his face, his mouth is set hard in a serious look that lacks even the hint of a smile.

Jeb doesn’t fit in. He doesn’t wear the standard uniform, seems to do whatever he wants, and doesn’t even belong to a unit. All of that can only mean one thing, he has a very high clearance.  But if he’s so important, why does he always seem angry?

Treya is Unit Cera's leader. She knows how to keep her calm, and gets everyone to work and meals on time, but does she know more than she's letting on?

Swatch walks fast and keeps busy. She has no unit, and seems to tell everyone in Building 8 what to do. While Swatch is no nonsense, she's also kind. Nat wonders if maybe Swatch is watching out for Unit Cera, but she can't figure out why.

Jame has a high medical clearance, and it's possible that a passion for health and healing is what brought him to Olaiya. Little did he know that this little community isn't what it seems like from the outside.
