Book #1 in the Afterskies Trilogy:
After they came, there was no military, no government, and no safe haven.
Our entire world was incapacitated when an advanced alien race levels the land, crippling our infrastructure. But, that was only the first wave. Weeks after the initial strike, large unknown aircraft descended from the skies and began to land ground forces The Annex of Earth had begun.
Of course, there were survivors. Entire militia groups were formed outside of popular cities, just staying hidden from the aliens, and waiting to strike. Every day holds a new challenge for the citizen-soldiers that work tirelessly to protect the people in their care while they engage an enemy far superior.

Ashes of the Living
**The year is 2036.** After a bioengineered parasitic fungus - *Cordy-13* - mutated and spread beyond control, the United States collapsed. Within three months, 80% of the population was dead or "reanimated." Power grids fell, cities emptied, and survivors now live in scattered settlements or wander the ruins. **Evelyn "Eve" Carter (29)** Former EMT from Denver, 5'7", athletic, green-eyed, scar on her left cheek. Compassionate but hardened, Eve carries deep survivor's guilt. When the outbreak hit Denver General, she fought to save patients until the hospital fell. Her younger brother, Miles (16), vanished that night. Haunted yet driven, Eve searches the Midwest believing he's still alive - a mission that keeps her from collapsing under the weight of her past. **Logan Brooks (35)** Ex-Army Staff Sergeant, 75th Ranger Regiment. 6'1", broad-shouldered, dark hair, beard, and old military tattoos. Stoic and tactical, Logan hides a broken heart - his daughter, Abigail (9), was lost when Atlanta burned. After refusing to follow orders to bomb infected zones, he deserted, vowing never to serve blind authority again. Now, he fights to protect those beside him, seeking redemption one battle at a time. **Marcus "Red" Hensley (23)** A wiry mechanic and survivalist from Tulsa with messy red hair, freckles, and a worn leather jacket. Before the fall, he ran a YouTube channel on survival hacks; after the collapse, he scavenged junkyards and lived off the land. Beneath his cocky humor lies loneliness and fear. When he met Eve in a crumbling Kansas City safe zone, they formed an uneasy alliance. Red wants to prove he's more than lucky - that he can make a difference in a dying world. Together, Eve, Logan, and Red navigate the ruins of a fallen America - bound by loss, survival, and the fragile hope that something human still endures. This is my first time ever writing anything so sorry if the ending is lacklusture :(Complete
Marked
Four unmarked survivors. One totalitarian government. A fight to keep their humanity intact. 100 years into the future, the E-91 virus has thrust the world into chaos. For Rachel Wilson, survival hasn't come easy. For the last fifteen years, she's lived in the wilderness, just out of reach of the Council of Nations. Until one day, poachers--the section of law enforcement tasked with hunting the Unmarked--raid her home and she is forced to go on the run. Weary from the attack, but certainly not broken, she ventures into a dangerous world with only her fiery determination to survive. In what appears to be a stroke of good luck, she is rescued by an underground movement working towards bringing down the capital or die trying. Death over mark, that had always been the mantra. Because the alternative-becoming a mind-controlled soldier to fight the capital's war-was a fate worse than death. ***What other readers are saying about Marked*** "You've done a wonderful job of creating and molding this couple into real people. Now, they practically breathe!" -thebirdwhisperer "This is incredible! I was holding my breath for a second there because everything was so good and the action felt so rea!!!" -titanic123 "I rarely comment as I'm not very good with words. But I have to tell you I enjoyed your book so much. I cried and laughed, bit my nails and rooted the characters on as if they were my family." -leenafrogComplete

In order to preserve time, to buy themselves the time that they had left, the world had somehow formed into one world order, and all lived in the United States Of America, across the states, too. It was very calm, and how their government worked, was there was their leader, their ruler, their king, along with a bunch of advisors who sat on the council, as they all tried to figure out how to combat the rising emissions. They had all agreed that living on a sustainable earth was plausible, but knew that the fight was far from over. But, the fight had to be over soon, because if they did not stop it very soon, they'd be on brink of no return. Of getting up from their place they'd been calling home for 3.4 eons, and finally colonizing another planet. But, they could not, because they knew it would still take them months, and months to get all the supplies, and even then, the supplies wouldn't be enough to host everyone on earth. Some had to be executed, or left behind, waiting for their doom. Their decision? Only the top 1% leave earth to try and colonize another planet. Everyone else would die on what would be known as Sileo Day, which was to happen in less then 24 hours. Some could try and escape, but it would be no use. Or, would it?Complete
