Loads of Trouble: An Izzy Izzard Dystopian Thriller

17-year-old Izzy can read minds. Her doctors believe she’s crazy, 'crackers' they say, and have locked Izzy away. Her twin, Elliot, knows her mind-reading superpower is cool, but no one but Izzy listens to him, because he’s dead.As is her guardian, her older brother, Dougal.Dougal was Izzy's hero. He was big and tall and believed Izzy when she told him she could read minds. 'Keep it a secret,' he told her. 'People don't like different.'Dougal should know as he liked boys and in Albion Minor that was frowned upon. Dougal ran a Private firm that protected the LGBTQ community from harm, but when he was murdered homophobia was suspected, indeed feared. Who is going to protect the community from the homophobes, cleverly disguised as the local Cricket Club, from harm, from persecution, and from the Friday night bashings the cricket club called practice?Izzy, that's who.First, she must escape from the Asylum. Second, she must convince Dougal's transman business partner, Robert (a man with super strength), that she can read minds and will use that power to discover Dougal's killer. And third, she must learn how to investigate, take a punch, bend steel, and catch a bullet in her bare hands.A tall order, but Izzy is feisty. Izzy is tough. Izzy is mad, crackers even, and will not cease in her quest to find who killed her big brother, Dougal.And Izzy has a secret weapon: Elliot, her twin, her companion, a haunting, irritating presence, who has promised to help, not hinder Izzy's quest.Loads of Trouble, An Izzy Izzard Dystopian Thriller is available to pre-order now.Read more
