The Great Winter just got a little colder as a girl struggling to survive the frozen post-apocalypse plots her revenge against the cult that took everything she loved from her, not knowing she still has more to lose. After getting revenge on the man who murdered his family, Michael Wells suddenly finds himself the guardian of a mysterious baby girl whom he finds in an abandoned cabin, and decides to raise her as his daughter. Abbie Wells grows up in a community struggling through the Great Winter, but on her 15th birthday, a ghost from Michael's past comes back to haunt him, leaving their village aflame and Abbie on the run. As well as surviving in the brutal frozen wasteland, Abbie has to dodge ravanous predators, killer weather, and various groups of territorial survivors, including a radical cult led by a self-proclaimed saviour, all while trying to find the disturbing truth about her own origins.

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.
