An Apocalyptic Event (2055) and Other Musings

 

Good Morning to you! 

February has arrived and with it more snow. It’s a good thing. The more snow we have heading into springtime, the better. Forest fire is always a threat where we live in the country, and management is key. Fortunately, I have a husband who is happy to cut down the trees deemed necessary to protect our property. Which got me thinking about protecting what is ours. My novels are all about people protecting others. Whether it’s to bring them justice or to keep them safe from harm, it’s a theme that runs through my books.

My current WIP is about a man, Connor Hale, who feels an intense need to protect his small group during an Apocalyptic event that has sent the world descending into chaos. The journey with Connor has been an amazing one, learning along with him and other people in the story how they can learn to live with what is happening to them, and how to absorb the changes necessary to survive the ordeal. 

It’s been a heart-breaking experience at times, other moments, I am buoyed up by the indominable human spirit many of the characters express during incredibly hard times. Then their are others, well, they have a lot to learn as they cause all sorts of havoc with their greed and nefarious views on life.

I always know when my writing is going well, because I exceed the word count I place on myself seven days a week, which is 1000 words, no matter what. Which means I get more stories quicker!

I have a Blurb for the story which follows:

Earth, 2055

Take one man struggling to reach the woman of his dreams in a time of utter chaos. One angry ex-prisoner looking to kidnap his own kids. Add in a scorned pair of exes looking to kill anyone in their way. Then stir with the most powerful sentient computer which has not only caused the EMP event but has downloaded himself into a human being to experience human nature firsthand. What results is a terrifying race against time to save a woman and her four-year-old daughter from monsters lurking in the shadows. Cole Hale is that man. A hero pressed to make some of the most difficult choices a human being can make as he tries to navigate through the labyrinth of a new existence which has pushed the dominant species on Earth back thousands of years in their development. Only thing guaranteed, life will never be the same. For anyone.

Until next month, I bid you a fond adieu.
