After the fifth World War, the supernatural broke out of their hiding places and captured control of the Earth. The sixth World War, however, was kept hidden from the humans in hopes to keep the peace. Werewolves reign, vampires roam, and the rest of the supernatural reside just like any other. Besides humans. With necessities such as food and civil rights stripped from them, humans form an organization to revolt against all supernatural creatures; they call themselves the Blade. When the vampires cause an uproar in Africa, the French Blade - run by nineteen year old Emelia - intervene. Little did they expect, though, that the infamous werewolves would also make an appearance. With no weapons to defeat werewolves, Emelia orders her people to focus on the vampires, which results in her saving a wolf's life. When the beast, Alpha King Mohegan, turns to her, he discovers his rescuer is his mate. Will they be able to overcome the hatred they have for one another? And when faced with unfathomable circumstances, will they be able to fight a war that is more powerful than anything they could imagine - something that has been kept under wraps for over one hundred years? Find out in The Blade.

The zombie apocalypse is coming. A scientist at the CDC has that terrifying realization when infected victims start displaying the symptoms predicted by his model. A virus responsible for hemorrhagic fevers is mutating into something that zombifies its victims instead of killing them. Realizing the only hope is to get ahead of it, he sets out to create a vaccine, but to create a vaccine he needs a sample of the virus. He tries to enlist the aid of a colleague to help him create the very virus he wants to eradicate, but she refuses on ethical grounds. Witnessing the horrific transformation of an infected patient forces her to reconsider, but before they can start working on a vaccine, their virus samples are stolen. As they criss-cross the country on a hunt for a cure, the paths of the two scientists cross those of a shadow organization on a secret mission, and a loose-knit network of zombie prepper groups whose loyalties are unclear. I am editing The Z Contingency for an updated edition, and I thought Wattpad would be a good platform to get improvements suggested by readers. The first edition of the book is already available for the Kindle, Nook, and Kobo at major online resellers, and is also at Smashwords.
