As Neal navigates his anger and grief stemming from the loss of his only friend, his family must pull together to gather enough supplies to survive the deathly cold winter as the volcanic ash storms intensify. However, when a family appears on their doorsteps and offers engineering and medical expertise in exchange for food and shelter, Neal and his family's isolationist stance is challenged as they face a reckoning on how they will adapt to life in this changed world.

In this follow-up to "What Comes After," Neal's daily journal entries reveal his struggle to maintain hope and trust in others, as the world becomes bleaker and more desolate. With the government toppled, looters and bandits armed with weapons roam the landscape unchallenged, but rumors of sanctuaries keep hopes of rebuilding society high. Neal and his family must navigate the balance between the security of isolation and the possibility of trust. 

With no one left to save them, they must choose how they'll live with what remains here.

Beneath the Surface by LoreJanssens605

Traumatized by her past, yet desperate to grow and have a beautiful future, she navigates through life. A positive mindset it may seem, but is that really the truth or just a facade for the world? She dreams of a bright future as a writer, perhaps a singer, and fate seems to smile when she meets Joseph-a young singer and actor whose career has just skyrocketed. They get along well, different souls connected by a shared past-a horror story that leads to the truth of their broken families finally surfacing. But will these revelations tear them apart, or bring them closer than ever? Will their paths diverge again, or will they intertwine?

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier

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.
