A post apocalyptic tale of a man easily overlooked before everything changed, the embodiment of the quote, "it's always the quiet ones." After the world changed, he finds his place, finds love, and finds his calling. Enduring the first few months was the most difficult, and finding himself in a never ending struggle to survive, he found that all along, living inside his soul, was the capacity to be the most ruthless and unmerciful man alive when protecting those he cares for. Along the way he discovers a woman, a yin to his new yang, and together they carve out their place in this new reality, and find that it took the end of all they knew to find what their hearts had always yearned for.

Fire and Ash
Ringer has spent his entire life fighting to stay afloat in a world created to work against him. Poverty, violence, and the unspoken rules of the streets close in on him from all sides. The only thing keeping him grounded is his tight-knit group of friends. Then Adeline crashes into their lives. She's from the other side of town, refusing to stay inside the neat little box society has built for her. With her upbeat attitude and infectious smile, she forces her way into their circle - and into Ringer's life - whether he likes it or not. Too bad the streets don't forgive as easily as she does. When someone they love is ripped away, revenge becomes the goal. And Adeline finds herself right in the middle. When you don't know who to trust and danger waits for you around every corner... how do you stay alive? Only three things matter now: revenge, love, and survival. When everything burns, which one will survive the ashes? (18+ violence, explicit language, explicit sexual content, racial themes, violence, references to self-harm)Complete

What Lasts in Us
**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That's until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who reminds her of her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad were to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it's no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new-found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.Complete
