When your body becomes evidence, escape becomes strategy

When Mackenzie Williams needs medical care she can no longer safely access in the United States, she uses a business trip to Portugal as cover. Private aviation should make leaving easier. Instead, it creates another trail for the government to follow.

What readers are saying about M.E.

A young man having his reproductive rights taken away as a response to a young woman having had her rights taken away years earlier.

This is a cautionary tale, not a blueprint for the future.
— John, Amazon Reader
The premise is just as chilling, and Wright doesn’t shy away from the uncomfortable truths of such a society.
— EW, BookBub
This book is one of those hauntingly realistic dystopian story it left me bone-chilled.
— Lori Peterson, Goodreads
I loved how the author took us on the emotional ride that Sam suddenly faced when he found out his on/off girlfriend was pregnant, and he had to face it head on like she did.
— Malynn, BookBub
The imagination and detail of the State program is believable and wouldn’t be too surprised to see something similar in the future.
— Julie B, Amazon Reader
I read the Fatherhood Mandate, you’ve got to read the Motherhood Mandate to see everything from the other perspective.

Not everything is what it may appear.
— Lynn Dignan, Goodreads

Meet M.E.

M.E. Wright is an accidental dystopian author who writes political thrillers and speculative fiction about power, control, and the people who refuse to break. She didn't set out to write fiction that kept showing up in the headlines. Reality just kept catching up.

She prefers soda to pop, measures distance in hours rather than miles, and even though she lives in the heart of Packer country, she secretly roots for the Bears.
