Part of the "Disaster Strikes" Series, where teen girls endure hardship both from Mother Nature and the people around them, and not only manage to survive, but thrive!
Sarah Anne Jackson is a typical 16 year old girl in her small town of Summersville, Texas. Everyday after school, she volunteers at a local elementary school before coming home to her family's ranch. Day in and day out, the same old routine. Until one day, when everything changes forever. Sarah has to try and keep a classroom full of second graders safe as a tornado roars overhead. She'll do anything to protect them, but will it be enough?
This story is 100% my own! All characters and scenes belong to me. However, I did get the name "Summersville" from a Random Town Name Generator, so I don't know if it's actually a real place. All similarities to real events/people are purely coincidental (unless I say otherwise). Enjoy!!

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

Tempest | Twister (1996)
Callie Harding left for college at the age of 16. Most would say it was because she was smart. Callie would say it was because she couldn't stand being in the middle of a family feud everyday. She hadn't seen her dad since, but her mum visited when passing through for storms. At age 18, Callie's college takes a direct hit from an F5, killing many, and injuring others. It's then Callie decides she wants to chase storms like her family. Design warning systems. Help others. She didn't want anyone else to experience what she did. But she'd have to conquer her newfound fear of them first. Now on the road with her mum, she's about to start chasing storms again...but it all gets heated when her father Bill shows up with his new fiance.Complete
Lightning
I never asked to be the person I am now. But a girl's got to do what she simply has to do. Ever wondered why people are afraid of thunder? It's loud, frightening and it makes the roof tremble at the sound of its voice. It's the reason why kids curl up with their mums on a stormy night, and the reason puppies hide under the creek. Yet barely does anyone acknowledges the cause of the thunder; the main reason why it actually exists. But who really is the badass here? It is that quick bolt of light that emerges from the clouds and disappears in the edge of a second. It is the thing that you ought to fear. Because it is fast, silent and most definitely deadly. And that is exactly what I am. I am Lightning. *** Not a super hero book.Complete
