But nothing works first time. And she’s taking it right to the wire.
Athena Cartwright has begun to rebuild her late husband’s cyber consultancy. Her NETcell is key to dropping that next contract and it won’t recharge. She’s skipping meals and putting a brave face on the secret she’s keeping from her five teenagers — she’s broke! Doing-it-herself is all she can run to.
The vital repair Athena makes to her NETcell, reminds her of her design roots and reignites her commitment to help the environment with her technology. But it takes provocation from left field, by the new soccer coach, to get her inventing again.
A weird phenomena turns out to be key, if she can master it.
Determined to succeed, she gets to work on her prototype chip and revives her passion for developing technology. Soon, it becomes clear she’s discovered the impossible. A new power source. While she struggles to harness this energy, she’s being watched by a man in a gas guzzling black truck.
Always On is the first novella in Tech Array, an optimistic near-future sci-fi series of short fiction. If you love the computer in your pocket and strong female characters who are hell-bent on changing their lives for the better, then this 120 page inspirational story is for you.
