    Lena Gibson

    Lena Gibson is a storyteller as an elementary school teacher and keeper of the family lore. She holds a First Class Honors degree in Archaeology, with minors in History, Biology, Geography, and Environmental Education from Simon Fraser University. A voracious reader from age eight onward, Lena seeks wonderful books in which to escape. Because of her passion for different genres, she combines elements of many in her writing. As an adult newly recognized with autism, she often creates characters that reflect this experience. When Lena isn't writing, she reads, practices karate, and drinks a ton of tea. She resides in New Westminster, Canada with her family and their fuzzy overlord, Ash, the fluffiest of gray cats.

      AUTHOR- Lena Gibson
      PUBLISHER- Black Rose Writing
      PUBLISHED ON- February 1, 2024
      RATING- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

      ABOUT AUTHOR- Award-winning author Lena Gibson is a storyteller as an elementary school teacher and keeper of the family lore.

      BOOK DESCRIPTION- "Switching Tracks" is a powerful story about never giving up, working together, and striving for a better life. It makes us think about how strong people can be when facing tough times."

      BOOK REVIEW-

      The story is gripping, mixing elements of dystopia with a Wild West-like setting in the year 2195. Elsa, a young woman trapped in poverty, becomes the central focus as a series of events unfold, propelling the plot forward at an accelerating pace.

      Elsa and her centenarian great grandmother sustain themselves by scavenging discarded items from 2025, bartering them for essential tokens like food and water. Set in a future USA governed by the Green Corps, a corporate entity wielding governmental control, the story unfolds as Elsa uncovers a locked metal tube in the refuse. Inside are maps detailing underground bunkers filled with crucial survival provisions and a variety of seeds. This discovery thrusts Elsa into perilous circumstances, as the powerful Green Corps pursues her relentlessly, determined to secure the tube at any cost.

      The author's writing prowess is truly exceptional, effortlessly weaving words into a tapestry that captivates and enthralls. With a masterful command of language, they paint vivid landscapes and evoke powerful emotions. The seamless flow of their prose carries readers through intricate plots and nuanced character developments, creating an immersive experience. The author's ability to strike a balance between eloquence and accessibility is commendable, making even complex themes approachable. Each sentence is a brushstroke, contributing to the overall brilliance of their literary canvas. It's a testament to their skill that every paragraph becomes a journey, leaving readers eagerly turning pages to savor the magic of their words.

      In summary, I found the story compelling and thoroughly enjoyed it. I eagerly anticipate the next installment in the series.
