Quick Fix

by Louise Cypress

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: YA Thriller

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Three teens are caught in a bioterrorism plot to destroy Seattle involving a diet drink that kills.

After accidentally breaking up with her boyfriend, Marley is ready to do anything to get her life back on track. When a new health clinic called Quick Fix opens in Seattle offering probiotic elixirs that supposedly burn off extra weight, Marley becomes their willing victim. After her first treatment, she loses five pounds in one week—and becomes so sick that she faints at work. But Marley is thrilled with the results, especially knowing that her ex-boyfriend is mobbed by girls every day.

When Marley’s best friend Ellie finds out the truth about Marley’s sudden weight loss, Ellie is concerned for her friend’s safety. Ellie knows better than anyone that there’s no such thing as a quick fix, but Marley’s not so sure. For Marley, the risk seems worth it—until the elixir takes control. By the time Marley discovers the truth about Thin Shot, she’s almost dead, and the only person who can save her is the last person she thought she could trust.

Melt away unwanted pounds with a probiotic elixir.

Thin Shot—the diet drink that kills.

EXCERPT ONE:

“Move aside, miss” barked a paramedic. “So we can get to—” The man stopped short when he saw Katie. “Hazmat team needed!” he shouted to his crew. “I repeat, this is a hazmat situation! Someone call the CDC!”

“Ellie!” Marley called again. “We need to go!”

The paramedics sprang into action, and I was clearly in the way. I stumbled toward the locker room, and Marley grabbed the back of my robe and pulled me to the shower. The faucet gushed with hot water. “Use as much soap as possible,” Marley told me, “to get the germs off. And hurry! We need to get out of here before they quarantine the place.”

“What?” I held my hands to my face, too shocked to move.

Marley yanked off my bathing cap and shoved me under the water, robe and all. Then she unhooked a bottle of shower gel from one of the stalls and squirted me with soap. “Clean yourself off, Ellie! I don’t want you to die like Katie did.”

“Katie’s not dead!” I pulled off my robe and rubbed my body vigorously with soap. “The paramedics will save her.”

“Um…” Olivia said from the edge of the shower rooms.

“What?” Marley asked.

Olivia spun around. “There’s no more time for soap. Put your clothes on and let’s go.”

I turned off the faucet and wrapped a towel around me seconds before the paramedics rolled the gurney past the shower area and through the doors to the locker room.

Katie’s body was covered with a white sheet.

GUEST POST:

Love Letter to My Alphasmart Neo2

Dear Alphasmart Neo 2,

Thank you for keeping me off the internet. I never would have finished drafting QUICK FIX without you. Yes, it's a YA thriller set in Seattle, and yes I needed to Google things that have probably placed me on the FBI's most wanted list by now, but you helped me bang out my first draft. That teeny-tiny screen of yours helped me focus.

QUICK FIX is about three teens who thwart a bioterrorism plot to destroy Seattle. Typing on my Alphasmart helped me capture all of the twists, turns, and romantic tension without scrolling over to Instagram every ten seconds to see if my latest post had received hearts. On my computer I can write 500 words an hour, but on my Alphasmart, I double that speed.

Is it possible to fall in love with 1992 technology? Yes, it is. You, my dear Alphasmart, are a miracle.

Adoringly yours,

Louise Cypress
