Shane thought her biggest worry was passing her Culinary Anthropology exams, not surviving the end of the world. A quick trip for breakfast sandwiches spirals into chaos when a sudden outbreak tears through her neighborhood, turning a party into a massacre. Stranded in her family's empty house with Malikai, his chaotic brother Sylvester, and Dom-the only survivors nearby-Shane is forced to balance trust, danger, and her own resourcefulness. Food preservation, barricades, and uneasy alliances become her new normal, but the infected outside aren't the only threat. Secrets, betrayals, and shifting loyalties inside the house may be just as deadly. Survival will demand more than strength-it'll demand trust, experiments, and risking her heart in a collapsing world.

Six hearts. One wasteland. And the dead remember everything. The world ended, but the living kept loving. In a land where the rot has a mind of its own, six broken souls claw their way toward hope - or toward each other's destruction. A butcher who forgot how to feel. A bystander who never learned how. A prophet who mistakes obsession for truth. A liar who can't outrun her past. A smiler with blood on her tongue. A scavenger with a desperate heart. The dead are changing. Faster. Smarter. Watching. And in the red hush before the final collapse, something old is waiting to be born.
ALL THAT FOLLOWS - A Zombie Story
The end came quietly. Survival didn't. Seth walks alone now - through ruins and silence, through the bones of a world that forgot how to live. The dead outnumber the living, and the ones who've survived have learned to be colder than winter steel. But no matter how far he goes, memory follows. Of who he was, of everything he lost. Of the faces that haunt his sleep and the blood that never quite washed off. In a world that punishes kindness and buries the weak, Seth isn't searching for hope. He's just trying not to fall apart. But sometimes, the road doesn't care what you want. Sometimes, it gives you someone to protect - whether you're ready or not. Because even a broken man has one last fight left in him. ___ Note : All That Follows is a sequel to All That Remains. It carries echoes, secrets, and scars from what came before. While it can be read on its own, within these pages lie spoilers, fragments of a past some readers may wish to discover firsthand. Step forward as you will, but know the ghosts are watching.Complete
Alienus
No one expected that it would happen until it did. Earth was dying. We, the few who survived the disease, were all contained in cells with artificial light and oxygen and food in the form of pills. So when help came in the form of C'Riel, an alien race that lived in a planet called Xe'Krein, many people found hope. But I was wary. Why would the C'Riel help us? How did we benefit them? What I didn't expect to happen was meeting him. The fire-eyed alien. My alien. And then I found out, that sometimes answers to the questions we want to know are sick and leave you wondering if everything was a lie.Complete

Touched by Ruin
*MAJOR TW* There are scenes of death, blood, gore, attempted rape, sexual scenes, betrayals, zombies, etc! Dani has lost everything-her family, her friends, her future. Even before the collapse, her world was already crumbling when she discovered her husband's betrayal. Now, alone in the ruins of civilization, trust is a luxury she can't afford. Survival is all that matters... until she's ambushed and nearly destroyed by the cruelty of others. That's when he finds her. A silent guardian with a bow and blades, the stranger saves her life-but not out of kindness. Hardened by loss and betrayal of his own, he keeps his distance, both emotionally and physically. The world has no place for softness, and certainly no place for love. But as the days stretch into weeks, and the silence between them begins to speak, Dani and her reluctant protector find something unexpected in the wreckage: hope. Scarred by the past, shaped by the fall, they must decide if trusting each other is a risk worth taking-and if love can rise from the ashes of a broken world.

Add sunlight to the mix- which shouldn't have a smell but Luna, he smells like it- and I'm pretty sure if I could open my mouth, I'd be drooling. 'Mate.' My wolf whispers, giddy.
