Post Plague Kidnapping - Published!
It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice. Warning: Contains sex, some violence, occasional foul language, and adult issues.

Not The Last {Rough Draft}
~Thank you for the continued love for this series! I was 13 when I began this book, and am now taking the time to go back to completely rewrite it, and maybe just publish someday~ I'm 15 and my name is Astrix. Let's start with that. That seems like an easy thing to start with. Now, let me add in some other details. I live in a zombie apocalypse. Yeah, that's about as enjoyable as I can make it seem. Now let me add in something else. I'm wanted by the CIA for reasons that I don't even know, but I guess I will find out eventually. Maybe somewhere within my story I will figure it out. I'm well known as The Bad Ass for reasons that are kind of obvious once you meet me. Maybe that's why they're after me? Because I'm a Bad Ass? Nope, I doubt that. Well anyways, the answers are out there. Along with the answers to my past. The answer to life even. Maybe it really is 42 but I don't think it would hurt to start looking at one. So here we go. Chapter one. Book 1 *Being completely rewritten, final product will not be put on Wattpad, but hopefully go to print* **Highest Rating--#44 in Adventure**Complete
Eclipse Earth
The city never saw it coming. A magnitude 8.7 earthquake shattered its foundations, tearing open the land and swallowing entire districts in a matter of minutes. Buildings collapsed, streets cracked apart, and the survivors who crawled from the wreckage were left in a world they no longer recognized. But that was only the beginning. In the chaos that followed, scientist Herard Brasicus and his team attempted to create a medicine to enhance human survival instincts. Their goal: to strengthen reflexes, boost endurance, and sharpen cognitive abilities, ensuring mankind could endure future disasters. Instead, they created a virus. At first, the symptoms were mild-elevated adrenaline, enhanced strength. But within weeks, the infected became erratic, aggressive, inhuman. As months passed, the virus evolved. The infected transformed into grotesque monsters, some retaining fragments of their former intelligence, while others became mindless, ravenous creatures that preyed on the uninfected. Humanity had fallen. Two years later, the remnants of civilization clung to survival in underground cities. The military, now divided into twelve specialized divisions, acted as both protectors and scavengers, tasked with defending the last of the survivors and searching for a cure.
