Olivia My sister’s death is the worst thing I’ve ever been through. More destructive than the zombie virus, more damaging than losing my family and friends and everything else I’d ever known. I’ve tried coping, but no matter what I do, nothing seems to fill the hole in my heart. Greg After nine months on my own, safety is finally within my reach. I was starting to think I’d never get to experience human interaction again. Never get to hear laughter or feel the warmth of someone else’s skin on mine, and forget sex. All of that seemed like a dream. But not anymore. Olivia and Greg are at a crossroads when they meet. Heartbroken and grieving, she’s about to give up, while he’s ready to start a life he’d thought might never happen. After a not-so-chance meeting, they work together to make it to the compound, and along the way learn something about the world. They are not alone. Olivia isn’t the only one who’s grieving after a devastating loss, and Greg isn’t the only person who feels alone in this world. Together, they just might be able to find a future worth living…
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.
