Hopefully, Henry won't be next.

"It wasn't long now, time had ceased to exist. The world had become impoverished, crops have shrivelled to dust, wildlife slowly died out. There were only survivors now; groups of warriors scavenged to stay alive." My name isn't important, my story is not for the faint hearted. Caught up in a conspiracy and trapped with a turbulent heart, and ravenous for revenge. Natural Disaster, Infected experiment, Zombie apocolypse call it what you will but just remember... "The trees are always evergreen when we're together." Trigger Warnings: this will be a horror, post apocalyptic story. It will include violent scenes, gore, blood, some sexually explicit events in heavy detail. I won't include spoilers here until they've been posted. If you can survive all that then... welcome to the end of the world darlings.

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. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.

The Last Survivors: Beginning of the apocalypse
Darkness has a way of creeping in when least expected. It does not announce itself with a whisper, nor does it wait for an invitation. It engulfs, devours, and tests the limits of those caught in its grasp. This is a story of survival-not just of the body, but of the mind, the spirit, and the unbreakable bonds that tether us to one another. When the world crumbles, when the familiar turns into the unknown, the question is not just how to endure-but who we become in the process. There are horrors lurking in the shadows, dangers waiting beyond every turn. But in the heart of it all, there is something even more powerful: the will to fight, to protect, and to defy the inevitable. This book is born from such a place-a world stitched together from whispers of dreams, echoes of forgotten tales, and the unshakable pull of curiosity. It is an invitation to step beyond the ordinary, to embrace the strange and the wondrous, and to find, perhaps, a reflection of yourself in the pages that follow. As you turn each page, let go of expectation. Surrender to the unknown. And most of all, enjoy the journey. Welcome to this story. Welcome to the adventure. Step forward, if you dare. The journey begins now
The Dead Aren't Just Underground Anymore
[AU Zombie Apocalypse book] - Some Parts are Private, so you'll have to follow me (Sorryyy xx) Even since before the dead started walking in the streets I'd always been a very cautious person, never go out late or alone, don't trust strangers. Who would've guessed being cautious is what helps keep you alive in the middle of a zombie apocalypse? It's easy enough to fight off one or two, but taking a herd on by yourself is a death wish. They just keep coming, they don't care about anything other than spreading the virus. See that's the thing about the dead. They have nothing left to lose.. Warning: Random, emotional stuff ahead, read if you dare.Complete
Don't Talk To Anyone | BOOK 2
(Sequel to Don't Talk To Strangers) It's been a couple months since the zombies had vanished. No more zombies. No more killings. And no more bad people. So they thought... Life is good, until something seems- out of place. Maybe it's a change in the weather or thickness of the air. Or it could be the electronic buzzing noise keeping them awake at night. The gang is suspicious, but nothing peaks their interests until one of them comes home infected. It's only a matter of time until the infection spreads around the rest of their body. It's a race against the clock to help them survive. Because the friends can't part with their own. They're family. And losing another person amongst the world is too much to handle. But if adding in revengeful ex-friends, hot summers, babies AND more zombies to the mix is what it takes to finally make these kids give up, congratulations. You got your wish. Not everyone is as strong as they want to be. Will they make it or break it?Complete
