About Operation: Blackout // Status: Redacted
Operation: Blackout // Status: Redacted is a gritty, high-stakes YA dystopian thriller that blends heart-pounding action with raw emotional depth.
Calla never asked to be a hero — she just wanted to survive. Raised in the shadows of a fractured world, she hides her intelligence behind sharp wit and a guarded exterior. But when she’s assigned to an elite operations team, her past refuses to stay buried. Whispers of a classified mission known only as Sparrow Nest ignite a dangerous hunt for the truth — one that could expose secrets powerful enough to burn the system to the ground.
As loyalty fractures and alliances shift, Calla must decide who she can trust before the clock runs out. Because in this world, survival isn’t just about staying alive — it’s about protecting the few people worth dying for.
Fast-paced, emotionally charged, and impossible to put down, Operation: Blackout // Status: Redacted will leave readers breathless and questioning how far they’d go to fight for their place in a broken world. Available on Amazon.

Gwen McDowell is an indie author with a passion for telling gritty, redemptive stories about survival, resilience, and the fragile hope that keeps people moving forward.

When she’s not writing, Gwen enjoys exploring creative outlets that spark her imagination — from designing book covers and experimenting with photography to diving into music and singing. She’s a lover of late-night coffee, hauntingly beautiful soundtracks, and quiet moments that turn into story ideas.
