Award-winning writer Cecilia Copeland's TALTRIX Book One SURVIVING THE GAUNTLET is now available at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and Kindle

NEW YORK - EntSun -- Award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and founder of the New York Madness Theater Company, Cecilia Copeland debuts Sci-Fi novel, Taltrix Book One Surviving the Gauntlet.

"The backstory for my debut novel is that our hero, RT, short for Redder Torch, was kidnapped by her father. This portion of the story is taken directly from my life. I wrote about the history-making kidnapping in a screenplay called, The Copeland Case, which won 'Best Dramatic Screenplay' at the International Female Eye Film Festival in Toronto, and it was listed as one of the 'Top Ten Best Scripts' by Writer's Digest," said Copeland.

For fans of Sci-Fi hero journeys like Star Wars, Dune, and X-Men the world Copeland imagines is one where what we would call magic, her characters call science. Taltrix Book One Surviving the Gauntlet tells the story of RT during her first year aboard the dark biodynamic university spacecruiser, Taltrix.
