A NOVEL.
Addiction tests everything. Especially the people we love.
And for Alex Whittaker, nothing comes before the health of his brother Malcolm - a struggling alcoholic.
But after years of caring for his brother, Alex wants more. He wants to start a family with his fiancé. He wants to take his job more seriously. He wants to be free of worry. So Alex gives his brother one last chance for sobriety. But something strange passes over the small city of Saint Peter. Something Alex and Malcolm don't understand. Something the government doesn't want the world to know about. And something that will put these brothers in more danger they ever thought possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This story is based on my own experiences with addiction and love of friends and family, with a twist to keep the writing fun.
It's not intended to be derogatory. I just wanted a way to express the way while creating the kind of story I enjoy to read.
I hope you enjoy the story, learn something new, and have fun 🙂🥳

Book 1: Beginning Of The End
Alex and Chloe aren't your average high school seniors. Brilliant, resourceful, and always questioning the world around them, they've spent their lives preparing for the future. But nothing could have prepared them for this. Lately, strange things have been happening-subtle at first, then impossible to ignore. The air feels different, people act strangely, and a sense of dread looms over them. They know something is wrong. They just don't know what. Then comes prom night. The one night meant to be perfect. Alex finally asks Chloe to go with him, and for a brief, shining moment, everything is as it should be. But just as the music swells and the night reaches its peak, the doors burst open... and the world as they know it ends. Zombies. Real, bloodthirsty, relentless. As chaos erupts, Alex and Chloe, along with their equally brilliant families, are forced into survival mode. But this isn't just about staying alive-it's about finding out why this is happening and if there's any way to stop it. Because if they can't, humanity doesn't stand a chance. The truth is out there. And it's more terrifying than they ever imagined.
