★★★★★ "right up there with Hunger Games"
I've reached my expiration date.
Not that it matters. We're all going to die.
To sixteen-year-old Micka, all words have flavours. Her emotions come with such force that she can't help but carve them into her skin. The night she decides to kill herself, she meets Runner -- a mysterious stranger who makes her question everything she's learned about the end of the world.
His message is terrifying: It wasn't some mysterious disease that killed ten billion people. We did this. Humanity sleepwalked into climate disaster and ecocide, just to butcher and rape until blood stained the seas.
Micka is sure Runner is lying. Her instincts urge her to stay far away from him. But he makes her an offer she finds hard to resist. There are only two rules she must follow:
Kill.
Survive.
Because the final wars were never meant to end.

Snow
After an apocalyptic event that thrusts the world into a new ice age, Calestia - a 17-year-old girl with a strong will - must learn to survive on a land infested with gangs, guns, and distrust. ***** Nobody knows what day it is anymore. Nobody knows the month, the day of the week...and the only way to tell time is by the slight change in the color of the sky from grey to black every twenty-four hours. If a day even is twenty-four hours anymore. The planet is dead. The people are dead. Snow falls down upon piles of bodies like the ash of a volcanic eruption. Except, the snow doesn't stop. It never does. It continues to fall and fall until you wonder if it is even possible for another flake to come down and land silently in your hair. But it does. They do. There are few survivors of what the remaining have started to call the end of the world. The Apocalypse. Few who are still brave or scared of death enough to face the torture that is living. I am one of those survivors. Book One of the Snow Series Highest ranking: #3 in Sci-Fi Watty's ShortlistedComplete
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

Kadota (Love Trilogy)
In the quiet desert village of Dey, living among the sand dunes and mirages, existed an anomaly - me. I was different, born without the ability to read, write or keep long memories. My scientist father hailed my uniqueness as a miracle, but my life was far from ordinary. To the village, I was just an oddity, a walking puzzle with missing pieces. My only solace was my best friend, always standing by me, his unspoken love for me etched in his affectionate gaze. We lived under a cruel regime with a population no more than a hundred. Every year, one of us would be chosen on the Counting Day, a ceremonious banishing ritual, to become yet another outcast to the floating prison island far off in the ocean - our village's dreaded version of population control. Our past criminals, defiant to government, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones gone missing, were thought to inhabit that island, their fate, a terrifying enigma. This year, as the Counting Day approached unrelentingly, and my loved one's life rested on borrowed time, I made a decision. I volunteered to be casted out. It was my turn to face the unknown with a hidden purpose - to locate my lost father who was sent there years ago.Complete

61 Seconds
In the desolate remains of a war-destroyed world, only one city survives: York. Tightly controlled and isolated, the city has rules: for sixteen kids, turning eighteen means recruitment. No exceptions. Quiet and curious, Elodie Mikelson, lingering at the edges of her carefully lived life, is paralyzed when Mr. Reiki calls her name at the ceremony. Now thrust into long, grueling days of physical and mental hardship she quickly learns survival isn't just about how straight you can shoot a gun. It's about mindset. Determination. Who you can trust and who you can't. Her captain, Mac, doesn't make it any easier. Big and commanding, he seems to have taken a special interest in Elodie. Forming friends and enemies along the way, the girl from York begins to disappear. Someone stronger begins to take her place. But just as Elodie begins to adapt, she is thrown off course again. Taken by a mysterious organization that seems to know her better than she knows herself, Elodie is thrown into a game of even higher stakes. Thrust into a plot to steal the government's little black book known as SONA, she learns it is the government's master file, rumored to contain the city's deepest secrets-and its most vulnerable weaknesses. To succeed, she must escape the inescapable. A prison locked tight behind concrete, surveillance, and locks. With only a 61 second window to escape, she risks everything. With the clock ticking and untold truths, hidden secrets and deceptive lies, Elodie has to decide what's right and who she can trust before it's too late. With one shot at freedom and only 61 seconds to take it, Elodie must choose: to stay loyal to an order she's known all her life or trust the instinct that's kept her alive.
