State of Rebellion

David Hudiburgh, you’re amazing for reading and editing my manuscript. A million thanks for the advice and kindness you’ve shown my family and I. You’re such a dear friend. I’m so happy I know you! Thanks, Edith, for the many fun conversations we’ve had over the past year regarding story ideas for Cassidy Hart.

Thanks to the huge, wonderful world of blogging for all of the interviews, features and book reviews that boosted The Collapse Series into the sphere of national bestsellers. Thank you to every newspaper and magazine and literary publication that has carried the story of The Collapse Series.

To my readers: THANK YOU. I appreciate every piece of fan mail, every note, every shout-out, every review, every friendly word and every positive conversation. You are incredible. I love you guys. My everlasting thanks for reading my books. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are the base on which the publishing world is built — all writers need readers!

To my friends and the local community that has been so loving and supportive of a girl who was crazy enough to try to write a bestselling novel, my eternal gratitude. Being a writer — and then being a successful writer — is considered an impossibility, but I’ve been exponentially blessed in my career. The Collapse Series has sold beyond my wildest dreams, and I gain new readers around the world every day. It makes the long days, extra hours and endless editing process worth it.

Thank you Jesus, for loving me and giving me the gift of storytelling. I really am eternally grateful.

Praise for State of Emergency (Book 1) and State of Chaos (Book 2)

“The 20 year old Reedley resident is a prolific writer.”

“Summer Lane has more than a fresh face and a great name… She’s solidified her position as a promising ‘Young Adult’ author.”

“In my review of State of Emergency I said it was a fantastic book worth five stars. Well my opinion hasn’t changed with State of Chaos… State of Chaos has Cassidy almost immediately finding herself in dangerous peril. And from there this book only gets better.”

“State of Chaos was filled with jaw dropping, heart pounding, and stomach aching scenes… State of Chaos was an excellent sequel to State of Emergency. The ending leaves you shocked… and in desperate need of the third book in the series.”

“It [State of Chaos] has even more action and adventure than the first installment and I love the way Cassidy and Chris have matured and developed. This is about fighting back, making this book lots of fun. This sequel does not disappoint!”

“Summer uses poetic prose coupled with detailed and accurate depictions of survival skills to create a real page-turner… I loved the themes of survival and coming of age in State of Emergency and then strength and endurance in State of Chaos. Summer’s ability to craft a compelling story that immerses her readers into the storyline seems effortless.”

“Like the first book in this series (State of Emergency), this sequel captured my attention and held it all the way through to the end. The plot is original, yet still holds on to the key elements of the first. New characters are introduced, but the others remain. This second book adds another dimension to the story of Cassidy Hart, while preserving the fast, exciting pace of the first.”

“A dystopian adventure in the vein of NBC’s Revolution, State of Emergency will leave you wondering what lengths you would go to in order to survive if all the power went out for good. Cassidy Hart is a smart, snarky, scared and sassy protagonist, and this gripping tale is told vividly through her eyes.”

“Just in the same way that TV shows like Falling Skies and Revolution have managed to create realistic characters that adapt to the situation and position the world has thrown them in, so does Summer Lane with State of Chaos.”

“Great plot, great cast of characters, fast-paced, and full of twists! An awesomesauce read you should get your hands on right now!”
