The First 30 Days (PUBLISHED)
No one saw it coming. No one could have guessed that the vaccine that was supposed to save lives, would take them instead. Once the death toll started to climb, it took less than a day for the world to change forever. When Bri's roommate suddenly develops a taste for cannibalism, she finds herself trapped in her upstairs bathroom, unable to comprehend the horrors that she sees through the small window. That limited view of the outside world doesn't begin to show Bri just how much danger she's going to be in when she finally escapes her home. Running for her life, Bri won't be alone for long. With the help of a bat wielding stranger, she barely escapes the overrun city. Together, they just might survive long enough to find a safe haven. The zombie apocalypse is a strange time to be alive. The dead walk, and eat the living, but they're not the most dangerous thing this new world has to offer. There are other survivors out there. And not all of them can be trusted.

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..

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.

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
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
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.
