Cicada

2015

A small group of survivors, including some of the world's brightest scientists, sought safety in a walled sanctuary known as Cicada in what is left of Colorado. Their goal is to find solutions to the seemingly permanent solar storms plaguing the ailing Earth. On the other side of their walls, evil forces will strike for their own reasons: • desperate squatters want Cicada's resources; • a religious cult with thousands of red-robed warriors, led by a prophet, intends to claim it as their Promised Land; and • nearby, another walled fortress plots Cicada's destruction. As Cicada's inhabitants struggle to fight the evils outside, a startling secret reveals why the survival of all mankind hangs at the precipice of extinction. However, it’s the evil inside of each of them that’s even more of a threat than what is outside their walls. Will great scientific minds find an answer? Can humanity possibly survive? CICADA is the next book run-away best-selling Stone Age Series, set one year after a solar apocalypse has destroyed most of the earth’s technology.

Hello lovers of apocalyptic thrillers! I devour the same books I enjoy writing: science fiction, set in an apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic or dystopian world. I love stories about regular people being thrust into extra ordinary circumstances, and having to rely on their own cunning and that of others to survive. And I love a twist at the end. My just released Ashfall Apocalypse, as well as previous series Madness, Highway and Stone Age are those kind of stories. They're fast moving, have some regular (and amazing) characters who must make life changing decisions, all while the world is experiencing an apocalypse. Besides writing, my wife and I travel the world (often to research the next book). But often you can find me on a beach, Kindle in hand, with my Toes in the Water (name of my publishing company).
