Becca Arbor is a pseudonym.
The author has chosen to publish under a pen name for reasons that will become clearer as the trilogy progresses. What can be said: she knows the world she is writing about from the inside. Wasteland is not an outsider's account of privilege, excess, and the particular violence of beautiful people with nothing to lose. It is something more uncomfortable than that.
Her debut novel puts readers inside the mind of Brendan Childs III—twenty-three, the product of old English aristocracy and new Hollywood money, and completely without conscience—across sixty-one days in Los Angeles. From Halloween through New Year's Eve. You are never asked to approve. Only to inhabit.
Wasteland is the first book in The Wasteland Trilogy, published by Atlas & Quill. The second novel, Motherland, is forthcoming.
