How far would you go to cling to hope at the end of the world? For almost four years, the survivors in Elizabethtown have worked to make the settlement as safe and self-sustaining as possible. They’ve created a solar field, planted crops, raised livestock, and cultivated relationships with other groups in the area, trading skills and goods when necessary. Life will never be what it was before the zombies, but thanks to their hard work, they’ve created something as close to normal as possible, and they’re thriving. Rowan, Devon, Kiaya, and Doug are happy. They’ve built lives for themselves, created families, and the future is looking good. But when a new group arrives in Elizabethtown, bringing news about what’s happening in other parts of the country, everything they thought about the world is turned upside down. Now they’re faced with a choice. Continue to brave the apocalypse alone, or join forces with a new government. The risks are high, the benefits extreme, and the threat of what might happen if they continue on their own terrifying. But not everyone is convinced it’s a good idea, and as the days stretch out, the stakes grow higher, as do the doubts.
Author
I'm a mom of four, Air Force wife, and author of adult and young adult dystopian, post-apocalyptic, and science fiction. I love intense world building and character driven stories that feature strong female leads - as well as a side of romance - and any end of the world scenario. Zombies, aliens, a distant future where people have no clue how the world ended in the first place, you name it, I will create a story there! Having lived in a lot of different places after more than a decade as an Air Force wife, I love setting my books in cities I've actually lived in to give them authenticity. I've resided in: Indiana, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, California, and Oklahoma but am currently back in my home state of Ohio where I live with my husband, four kids, two dogs, and three cats. When I'm not writing, you can find me by my pool (in the summer), getting lost in some binge-worthy show or at a play with my husband, patronizing one of the great restaurants in my small town of Troy, Ohio with my family, or traveling. I want to see everything and make a point of visiting a new place every year! Some of my favorite books are The Hunger Games, Pride and Prejudice, The Host, and The Stand. My favorite movies are Aliens, Jaws, Signs, Say Anything, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and The Greatest Showman.
