When Caleb, a modern-day tinkerer, is unexpectedly pulled from 2024 into the wilds of 1810 Indiana, survival becomes more than just a struggle-it becomes a test of invention and wit. Armed with nothing but the futuristic gadgets in his bag and a mind full of modern knowledge, he must navigate an untamed land teeming with dangers both natural and human.



As he wrestles with the challenge of building a life from the remnants of his old world and the raw materials of this new one, Caleb faces relentless struggles-both internal and external. From uneasy alliances with indigenous tribes to clashes with settlers, each step forward teeters between ingenuity and peril. As isolation sets in and the forest becomes his only constant companion, Caleb must use every ounce of his tinkering skills to build a sanctuary and survive.



But when strange encounters and forces beyond his control threaten to upend everything, Caleb's path through this forgotten era becomes a race against time. Can he master the elements and his own doubts before the past consumes him?



In this thrilling survival tale, the wilderness isn't just a backdrop-it's a battleground for the mind and spirit, where every decision can mean life or death.

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier
30 parts Complete
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.
