Faith Awakened (2007)
Faith Awakened is set in Ireland of the future and explores questions of reality and virtual reality in a spiritual sense.
A computer technician gets more than she bargained for when she helps survivors enter virtual stasis to escape a raging plague. The technology takes them into a fantasy virtual world which they thought they'd designed, but they find themselves tightly under God's control at every moment.

About Grace Bridges *writing GODSPEED*
|
Irish Kiwi, globetrotting, working on a few novels, Shoutlife addict... Here's some tweets that tell you what I'm up to:
You can read some of my writing at http://authorgracebridges.ning.com - including the free e-book download of Faith Awakened, my sci-fi novel released in 2007. You can also listen to a radio interview I did on its release day.
Currently I'm editing Legendary Space Pilgrims; have just finished the first draft of Cyberdublin; and work has begun on GODSPEED, the sequel to Faith Awakened. Watch this space!
Make sure you read some of my blogs here (further down the page) if you want to get to know me better. There's plenty in there!

Authors of SF/F: Join the Lost Genre Guild!
I am a cat person. Don't have any at the moment, because of the six people in the house, one is allergic. But as soon as I settle down somewhere of my own, just wait! I will find some. Cats are a necessity of life.

Grace in Ireland
I'm 28, a science fiction author and also a crazy Irish New Zealander living in Germany. I was homeschooled and because of that, I was able to read much more than other kids - and in the end it made me a writer!
