Protect Us is a story about two teenage sisters, Abilene and Adina, who are members of a cult that is an extremist sect of the polygamist and Mormon religious community's belief system. Abilene and Adina adore their mother, Diana, and they would do anything they could to keep her and the rest of their siblings safe and happy. Diana is the first wife of the leader of the cult, Matthew, a tyrant who wants to collect as many wives and have as many children as he can. What happens when the leader's overly indulgent tendencies threaten "the family"? Will Abilene and Adina risk their safety and break the law to deliver their family from the sins of their father? Or will they decide to run away forever to escape the corrupt laws their father has created including their arranged marriages that their father has personally chosen "for the good of the church"?

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
