The world has shattered, and so has her mind. The darkness inside her grows as she and the few survivors-Maisie, Kassian, Mel, Jace, and Kasper-traverse a landscape drowned in blood and death.

Kassian, ever-loyal, stays close to her side, though his eyes betray a growing fear. Jace, Lucy's once steadfast best friend, now fights not only to protect her but to keep her from slipping further into madness. Mel, the last remnant of Lucy's past, begins to see the cracks in Lucy's sanity. The Fates will cut another string... Lucy's grip on reality starts to unravel.

As the bodies pile up and the darkness consumes her, the line between hunter and hunted blurs. In the end, there may be nothing left of Lucy but a hollow shell-a vessel for the madness that now controls her. The end is inevitable. The only question is how many more will die before it comes.Complete
Post Plague Kidnapping - Published!
It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in.

Wattys Shortlist 2022 - In the shadow of a ruined world, survival comes at a cost. Decades after modified radiation bombs decimated the earth, the survivors of New Australia live in fractured Zones-regions ruled by scarcity, controlled by gangs, and governed by fear. The bombs didn't just destroy cities; they unleashed two devastating plagues. D.V.B, a deadly airborne illness, wiped out millions. But M.A.D was worse-a mind- warping disease that turns victims into violent, flesh-hungry predators. In the RedZone, where hope is a luxury and danger is routine, Violet Warrendale has learned to hide in plain sight. By day, she's the reluctant daughter of a prominent gang leader. By night, she's Viper-a deadly ghost in the underworld, wanted for assassination. Vi has only one goal: escape Lake Darling and disappear. For good this time. But when the military storms the RedZone and abducts everyone under twenty-eight, her plan shatters. Imprisoned in a Reproduction Facility-where survival means obedience-Vi must conceal her identity from the enemy. Worse, her cellmate is the gangster responsible for her brother's disappearance. With enemies on every side, secrets buried deeper than the fallout, and a rebellion brewing in the blood-soaked cracks of the system, Vi has a choice: stay hidden, or burn it all down. ...
