Sierra was twelve years old and was living with two abusive parents who wished that she had never been born. To them, Sierra was a mistake, a malady that was wasting their money by living. Both parents were severe alcoholics, use drugs more than they took their daily supplements, and had been more irresponsible than a toddler in raising their twelve year old daughter. All Sierra wanted in life was for someone to love her, to hold her, and tell her that she matters. Unable to cope with what happens to her on a daily basis at home, Sierra goes to extreme measures to escape the realities of the real world. She heads out onto the streets as a runaway to avoid getting beaten by her parents, and in doing so, gets abducted by a new stranger who has a sick plan of forcing people to his will. She meets a group of kids living in an old abandoned mansion in the middle of nowhere where this man has stashed them all. These kids, some abused and alone like her, take her in, and Sierra must learn how to accept people into her life and not be afraid as she once was. Will things turn out for better or for worse with Sierra, resulting in her escape from the maniac mansion, and will she ever be able to look at herself without seeing the pathetic girl she viewed herself as before she ran away?

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.
