CJ Rivera is an adult dystopian author navigating the realms of high-tech turmoil and stark reality. Before diving into speculative fiction, Rivera enjoyed a successful career as a Creative Producer. She has penned and produced captivating content for media giants such as CNBC, NBC Universal, and the Food Network. She lives in Washington, DC with her husband, three daughters and her hydroponic garden.
“Compulsively readable and full of branching twists, this chilling and thrilling tale of the repercussions of human ambition, greed, and even love will keep you glued to the page until its bittersweet end.”
– Ness Brown, author of The Scourge Between Stars
“An enthralling new voice in dystopian fiction, CJ Rivera puts a gripping, exciting, and downright stunning spin on the thrilling tensions unleashed by a female researcher’s scientific choices and a young woman’s underground journey to a Surface world where nothing is what it seems, maybe not even her deepest self, unless she battles for it. A truly remarkable debut.
– Patricia Raybon, a Christy Award winner and author of the Annalee Spain Mystery Series
Two women—one trapped in a dystopic society underground, the other in a bio-hacked future of her own making—face impossible choices in The Final Orchard and its twisty, helix-shaped plot adorned with thorny questions about agency, identity, and, technology.
– Lauren C. Teffeau, author of Implanted
“The Final Orchard is a layered mystery that unfolds the pages of dystopian horror at a blistering pace. Rivera masterfully delivers a story that has one foot in the present and another on the precipice of the future, making it all the more real, and terrifying.”
– Chris Panatier, author of The Phlebotomist, Stringers and The Redemption of Morgan Bright
