Author Maggie Mae Gallagher doesn’t remember a time when she wasn’t writing.
When she was a kid she acted out her favorite scenes, only better, with her
brother and cousin. As a teenager, she wrote reams of poetry, but realized her
true love lay with creating characters and stories. A former music and history
major, Maggie is a total geek at her core. When she is not writing, she adores
attending the latest comic con or spending time with her family. She lives in
St. Louis, Missouri, with her two furry felines.

Blurb for Ruptured
It
has been eighty-three years since the walls between Earth and Infernus fell,
and now our world stands upon the razor’s edge of extinction. Demon platoons
are marching upon us. My home, one of humanity’s last bastions of existence, is
under siege.
My
name is Alana Devereaux. I am the resident demon detector of Cantati Forces and
Platoon Commander. My job is to hunt down the vermin unleashed upon my world,
and I love it. I live for the day I can kick every last demon’s ass out of this
world. Except as enemy forces reign down terror upon us, the Densare Council
sentences me to a fate worse than death.
Excerpt from Ruptured
“Breeder.”
That word. The one thing I had attempted to escape my whole
life. The dull gray walls of the Densare Council rang with impunity. I glanced
around at the thirteen members, each sitting rigidly upon a stone chair that
looked more like a small throne with intricately carved Celtic symbols paying
tribute to a bygone era. They always reminded me of Celtic tombs.
The Densare Council ruled our world with an iron fist of
justice created in the fiery destruction of the Mutari. When the Mutari hit
Earth eighty-three years ago, mankind had been caught with their pants down
around their knees. Drystan, Lord of Infernus, unleashed his demon armies upon
the globe in a worldwide campaign to annihilate the human race. He almost
succeeded.
The Densare Council, forged under an alliance of nations,
sat in confident repose encased in their long white robes, their faces devoid
of any remorse at my sentence. They governed and the people obeyed their orders
without question.
I was never one for minding orders.
“But...my platoon. I'm the only one qualified to lead them.”
Surely there were other Cantati women they could convert into Breeders. Our
numbers were not that horrible. In fact, we had made a comeback from last
year’s dismal head count. The human population stood at more than thirty
thousand by our last estimates. My expertise was needed in the field, not the
bed chamber. What was the point of making a child if you could not protect him
or her? Maybe if the Densare Council left the safe confines of the Compound once
in a while they would see what their rulings mitigated.
