Fault
When the most destructive earthquake in America's history happens just south of St. Louis, seventeen-year-old Fallon Connelly is already on shaky ground. Her mom's alcoholism caused her parents to split and now her dad is constantly on the road, trying to make enough money to pay child support. It's all for nothing anyway, since his money just ends up in her mom's liver. At the same time, Fallon's best friend Cal Dorsey starts to act on his feelings for her and she wishes like hell he'd leave their relationship alone. So when the fault line beneath their feet tears apart, without knowing the fate of her mom and barely escaping the inferno in her high school, she and Cal form a small group and set out on foot across a city in ruins. Fallon and Cal witness the backward-running Mississippi river, encounter city-wide panic that escalates into rioting, and examine what they really mean to each other. In the end, it'll take luck and a will to survive in order to make it home. Whatever home means.Complete

Alongside Alex's family, they flee to a remote island, a desperate gamble for safety in a world that has none left. As danger closes in from every direction, Evelyn and Alex find themselves fighting side by side, relying on each other in ways neither expected.

Exile: The Book of Ever
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.Complete
