Separated from their parents, eight kids must survive a nuclear blast that destroys their city. They couldn't be more different: Liam Harper and his sister Lilly, who has Down's Syndrome, are outsiders who are new to public schools. Mysterious Amaranth Jones doesn't have parents; she lives in a group home. Nate and Nester Bartlett are half-brothers who don't like each other much. Rod Wasserman is a prankster and bully who has made Liam's life as a new kid miserable. His girlfriend, Amy Yamamoto, is popular cheerleader who doesn't seem to care for much beyond her hair and her makeup. And Elise Gomez is only seven and barely speaks English. Tumbling into a bomb shelter called "The Hole" beneath Liam's house, the group face injury, deprivation and their dislike for each other. When the food runs out, they have no choice but to emerge, facing the devastation of the world above. In order to escape the fallout, they must put aside their differences and walk 200 miles to a mountain cabin, where they hope they will be safe. This is the first book of The Doomsday Kids series.

The Doomsday Kids series continues with Nester’s Mistake. It’s a “shoot first, ask questions later” world after the apocalypse. After a perilous escape from the wreckage of their Washington, DC suburb in book one, Liam’s Promise, the surviving kids reach their destination, a mountain safe house, only to find their troubles have just begun. There are no adults and the kids are still all alone. Fifteen-year- old Nester, whose good grades and smarts had him on the fast-track to success in the world before the bombs, has no skills for his new life: tending animals, maintaining fires and defending their mountain cabin against intruders. Threats bombard them: from the weather, from escaped prisoners from a nearby correctional facility and from their own grief over their losses. Inexperienced with firearms and conflicted about killing people, Nester struggles with whether there’s a place for compassion in a world without laws or authority. Then, as nuclear winter sweeps over their mountain home killing crops and animals, a medical emergency threatens one of their number. Nester must make a desperate choice that shatters their little community and irrevocably alters their chances for survival. Nester’s Mistake is book two of six in The Doomsday Kids series. Book 1, Liam's Promise is available http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JAQH33W

Amy Yamamoto was never exactly the “friendly” sort. Driven to be the best—the prettiest, the most popular and the most envied girl in school—Amy has lost everything she loved and believed in since the end of the world she once knew: her family, her friends and her connection to the people who understood her. And now, after all of those other losses, she faces the end of the Doomsday Kids’ life at the Mountain Place as they embark on a journey of nearly a thousand miles in the hopes of reaching a survivors’ camp on the Gulf of Mexico. Can they reach it before their supplies run out? Can they avoid the evil bands roaring through deserted towns and cities and reach safety before it’s too late? And most of all, can Amy learn to trust the others enough to reveal her deepest secret? In a world full of death and destruction, is there a place for hope, new life and love? This is the fourth book in the Doomsday Kids series.

The Doomsday Kids series continues with book 5, Survivors' Stories. Separated from each other in the Survivors' City, each of the kids has struggled to create a new life. Watched by Minders and patrolled by Blues, the kids find life in the City to be hot, crowded and filled with deeply traumatized people trying to rebuild their lives. As a new soldier, Liam is required to enforce the laws of the community, but that doesn't stop him for looking for his friends, every chance he gets. Meanwhile, Nester's thrown into the counter-culture of his step-father's revolutionary goals. Amy searches for help for little Suyari, whose strange behavior suggests a more serious handicap than she had originally thought. Jax struggles with demons and questions about his own identity that threaten his relationships, while Marty has become involved with a dangerous group of subversives who hope to uproot the Survivors City entirely. Katie loves her job growing vegetables, but her bad memory puts her future there in jeopardy. And Samir—the kid from the forest the others met on the journey to the Mountain Place—must earn their trust before any of the kids will believe he is sincere in his efforts to reunite them. Meanwhile, things are far from smooth in the operation of the Survivor's City. Factions square off to fight for control of the tiny island. When one of the kids lands in the cross fire, the others must work together...before it's too late. Told from the point of view of three survivors: Jax, Katie and Samir, Survivors' Stories is a unique view of a post-apocalyptical dystopia ripped from today's headlines.
