Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction

WORLD WAS NOT READY Six years ago, the world was plunged into darkness. Five years ago, it got a second chance. Now the fight for what’s left begins… They Called It The Purge… History books call it The Purge, and it altered the course of human history. A breed of seemingly unkillable creatures that once lurked in the shadows of mankind’s past finally revealed themselves. Driven by an insatiable lust for human blood, these monsters—dubbed “ghouls” by some—consumed the globe in one bloody, awful night. Their numbers growing exponentially through infection, they felled the unprepared governments of the world with hardly any resistance. In the yearlong nightmare that followed, survivors were turned into chattel for the generations of ghouls to come. Most chose to cooperate, but a brave few fought back, and thanks to their sacrifice, the ghouls were defeated and driven back into the darkness. The End was Just the Beginning… Humanity was given a second chance, but the world post-Purge will never be the same.

Amateur Sleuth Mysteries

Running a pub wasn’t on Elle Harper’s bingo card. Neither was solving a murder.

Elle never planned to leave Atlanta, but inheriting The Velvet Anchor Pub from her late grandmother’s best friend, Bea, changes everything. Trading city life for a coastal town full of quirky locals, she moves to Cornelia Cove with her dog, Gus, expecting to manage a bar—not unravel a mystery.

From the moment she arrives, things feel off. A cryptic journal, a string of suspicious “accidents,” and a not-so-warm welcome have Elle questioning whether Bea’s death was really as unexpected as everyone claims. Luckily, she’s not in this alone.

Bea’s closest friends—an all-knowing bartender who collects town gossip like rare albums, a bohemian sage-burner, and a social media guru who can make anything go viral—may seem like an unconventional investigative team, but they have one major advantage: Swifties are excellent at spotting Easter eggs—aka clues—and this town is full of them.

NO ONE IS SAFE FROM THE SERIAL KILLER

NOT EVEN SCARPETTA…

During the early hours of Christmas morning, chief medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta receives a chilling call. The Phantom Slasher has struck again.

The serial killer has terrorized Northern Virginia for months. His pattern is to stalk with a sophisticated technology that enables him to invade his victims’ homes and watch their every move. They wake up to a ghost-like hologram before being murdered in their beds.

Edgar Bryce thought his war was over. Then he heard the signal.

Once a decorated soldier, Bryce now roams the stars as a freelance prospector, trading danger for solitude. The battles may be behind him, but peace has never come easy. He’s drifting until a strange signal pulls him off course.

A hidden transmission. A plea for help. A distress call from human prisoners long thought lost.

The authorities won’t act. Peace is too fragile. Diplomats would rather look away. But Bryce remembers what it means to wear the uniform and the unspoken vow that comes with it.

He’ll have to do the impossible: form a team, cross the border, and bring them home.

Because some promises don’t expire. And some missions… choose you.

Royce Atkins doesn’t need an introduction simply because the city is his. His name is on a plethora of things from legal to illegal and no one dares to take it from him. Women aren’t thought about because the family business takes precedence. Also, he’s spoiled and entitled. Whatever he wants is always in reach. He’s on everyone’s radar and he knows it. However, he never cared.

Klarity Monroe is dealt a hand that couldn’t produce any wins. A single mother trying her best for her and her kids. She depends on no one but that keeps her in a position where success isn’t accessible so easily. Every time she thinks things are looking up, there’s that one factor that knocks her down. Maybe she needs an Atkins to clear the way.

Where one was born into money and the other struggles to get some, they find themselves accepting a fairytale as reality. One can buy a lifestyle several times over but isn’t above scheming to get what they want. Being told no just makes them go harder.
