PULSE
Staff Sergeant Grace Woods has had enough of pain. Her assignment as a cryptographer at an underground black site lets her focus on her precision work. She’s in control, shielded from past loss of everyone she loved.
But she can’t control the sun. Massive solar flares create electromagnetic pulses, killing electricity on Earth and throwing Grace into a duplicate plane, and duplicate command populated by Fae.
Immersed in her new world, threads tying her to a malevolent Fae and her former world multiply, her life unravelling at the repeating pattern of death. Is it her fault?
Fate has never been in her hands, or on her side. Grace must choose among those she loves, and millions who will die. Fate will not force her hand. She will.

What You Said
Reviews
JZ York weaves a breathtaking tapestry of monumental intrigue. The twists and turns of these brilliantly developed characters is a page turner the likes of which I’ve not read since Michael Crichton. The love story is what one dreams of having, for a lifetime.

“I was, and still am, blown away by Pulse, an unbelievably unique, heart wrenching, gut twisting, nail biting, beautifully written novel, and I will be recommending it to EVERYONE.”

I love how they fell in love, fascinated by how different they were. How they each viewed important things. Then a spark of awareness got thrown in and their discussions caught fire. Yeah. Loved the rollercoaster, the plot kept knocking me flat, guessing to the end, but the love story was a romantic bonfire. Already rereading.

FAQs
Popular Questions
When did you begin writing?
My first attempts at writing were blatant plagiarism. I was in the 2nd grade. I hated returning books to the library, and had the brilliant idea to copy an entire book. In pencil. I started condensing by the second page. My hand began to cramp. I didn’t make it much further. I later found out I wasn’t alone in my idea when I read A Tree Grows In Brooklyn.
When was your first serious attempt?
I was writing stories in my head long before I put them on paper. There were magical animal creatures in a dense grove of lilacs in the side yard. Little people sitting with me in the back pasture apple orchard, eating green apples with salt. Once I had to retrieve the salt shaker I’d left behind after dusk and found my day people were scarier at night. I caught my foot in a bit of wire fencing and bolted, sure something had caught me.I imagined hideaways around my school when bullying and fights started. That lasted through middle school.My imagination didn’t run away with me, it caught up to me.
So obviously your interest continued…
I wrote when the urge hit hard enough to put it on paper. Or on a computer.Sometimes small town articles, or editorials. A few movie reviews. Odds and ends.I did a piece on my first trip to the Cannes Film Festival that was featured in the Dallas Morning News. I’ll post it on my blog.I collaborated on a couple of screenplays. Several serious pieces for a humanitarian organization.
How did you transition from such diverse kinds of writing to a novel?
I wrote this book as a rest, a vacation from a grueling phase of life. And a wise author, who’s listed in the acknowledgments who said several times; write what you want to read. I was also tired of discussions with distressed young people who thought unhealthy power dynamic relationships read about in novels were the norm. I wanted lovers with healthy boundaries before the hot sex happened.
So your book promotes your thoughts on relationships?
The book’s purpose is to provide a great story, action, an emotional rollercoaster—and a love story to engage your heart and curl your toes.You’ll have to tell me if it succeeds.
