~Discontinued. Thank you all for your support throughout this series, but I have decided to completely rewrite the first book, which I wrote when I was 13/14. Therefore, I am discontinuing this one~ I haven't even the slightest idea of how we are still alive. Winter is approaching fast and food is hard to find, but people aren't. Everyone that we encounter is ready to raid our food supplies. It's hard to believe that at one point I thought I was the last person on earth. But that's not our only issue. There is someone out there that hunts down people and leaves them dead. Some have missing body parts and others are so mangled, it's hard to see if they were ever human. The states are becoming increasingly more dangerous, not just for us, but for everyone. The question at this point is, how long are we going to last? Astrix Richards is back in the sequel to Not The Last. More blood, more guts, and of course, more zombies. Book 2 in the Infection Series **Highest Ranking---#75 in Adventure**

Excerpts from three of the many horror stories to be found in the collection HIDEOUS FACES, BEAUTIFUL SKULLS by Mark McLaughlin....

So fa la land is a dramatised account of a life of poverty for an early twentieth century Scottish mining household through one daughter's eyes using flashbacks from the sixties. Before you start to read this book I would like to emphasise that all of the stories are true. I have, of course, had to invent dialogue to match the situations, but much of that is from conversations and recordings. I have filled in gaps where the descriptions of the places and people are unclear, but otherwise the stories all happened, whether it be a ruler smashing into the children's knuckles; Robbie's shoes being open to the weather; my father investigating a lost ashtray; and the extremely rare piece of steak served to my uncle. The rare aspect was nothing to do with how it was served, by the way. The Robertsons once lived at 11 Middle Street, Cuthill near Prestonpans, Scotland. My mother, a seventh child of a seventh child, was Williamina Whyte Robertson, better known as Minnie. The family were in a very poor state and comprised a mining family of eleven children. Some of the stories might make painful reading. There will also be stories about my father George Harmsworth who came from Boxmoor near Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire. George Harmsworth and Minnie Robertson married on January 8th 1934, seven months before the birth of their first daughter Rose and thereby lies another tale. Please let me know about typos, grammar and spelling blunders. Family ... let me know if I have said something which you believe is not accurate. (C) 2016/7 Tony Harmsworth - All Rights Reserved.

Specialist astronaut Evelyn Slater encounters a small, badly damaged, ancient alien artefact on the first ever space-junk elimination mission. Where was it from? Who'd sent it? International governments impose a security clampdown. Evelyn leads a team of hand-picked scientists who make amazing discoveries within the alien device. Secrecy is impossible to maintain. When the news is finally released, she becomes embroiled in international politics, worldwide xenophobic hatred and violence. This is book one of Tony Harmsworth's First Contact series of novels. If you like realistic near-future stories which compel you to imagine yourself as the protagonist, The Visitor is the book for you. The Visitor - hard science fiction with a wicked twist.

*****WATTYS 2015 WINNER!***** WATTPAD STAFF PICK (9/7/15) In the end, the robots win. But you already knew that. "Everyone Died + My iPhone Stopped Working" is a collection of short interviews with some of the survivors. People who have tremendous insight into the rise of Artificially Intelligent machines or, more often, don't. Why did the robots rise up? What did they want? Why couldn't they be stopped? Can they be stopped now? Is humanity doomed? And what the f--k is going on with the squirrels? You will get the answers to all of these questions. Or some of these questions. Or none of these questions. We'll see. I will be updating this once a week until I run out of stuff that I find funny. Then I'm done.
