Leigh M. Lane lives in the dusty outskirts of Sin City with her husband. She writes dark speculative fiction that often contains strong social and political commentary. Her novels MYTHS OF GODS, WORLD-MART, and THE PRIVATE SECTOR span across billions of years of science fantasy past to just decades into a dystopian future, while her Gothic novel, FINDING POE, explore the conventions of Gothic and contemporary horror. She has six other novels published in another genre under a different name.

When an alleged terrorist act lands his wife in the hospital, however, George stumbles upon a Corporate secret that could mean the end of all civilization.

THE PRIVATE SECTOR (February 22, 2015) The world of corporate greed runs rampant after the government collapses, leaving police, fire, and social services in the hands of the wealthy.
