Interview with the Author

Q: Is this story a prepper guide?

A: No. There are things these families do along the way to prepare for what lies ahead—and some practical advice, I am told by my readers. There are plenty of other books that are dedicated to prepping.

Q: Are these people Navy Seals, Special Forces, or hardcore preppers?

A: No. The point of the story is to imagine what average people would do when faced with the loss of everyday technology. The characters are us, all of us—flawed, good, bad, tough, and weak; tenacious, resourceful, hopeful, caring, and ruthless when needed. What would ordinary families do when faced with no electricity, no cell phones, no grocery-store food, no online deliveries or trash service, running water, heat, air conditioning, few running vehicles, and no appreciable law enforcement? What are their limits? What are yours?

Q: I heard there is praying in your books. I don’t like to be preached to.

A: Yes, there is some praying in my books, as I believe those who are in danger daily tend to sort out their beliefs rather quickly. No, there is no preaching, as I am not qualified to do so.

Q: What am I getting out of this 7-volume series?

A: An epic story and wild ride, from Volume 1 all the way through Volume 7. This series may make you laugh, cry, contemplate, understand the risks, think about being more prepared for the unknown, tell your family you love them more, be thankful for all we have in this crazy, adventurous world—and, most of all, feel and dream. My hope is that you find yourself thinking of these characters long after you’ve read the last page of each book.

Q: Is there a dog in this series?

A: Of course! There are two: Ringo and Mini. Don’t worry; as a fellow author once said, “Never kill the dog!”

Q: What do you do with bad reviews?

A: I read them to my kids and we all have a good laugh.

Ikigai & Kaizen

Discover the Japanese secret to unlocking your purpose, productivity, and passion!
Are you struggling to find your “true calling” — feeling adrift without a clear sense of direction?
Does procrastination or a lack of motivation prevent you from getting stuff done?
Has your life journey been stunted by self-doubt or a fear of failure?

Indeed, failure is the unfortunate result of most human endeavors. Eighty percent of New Year’s Resolutions fail by February. For many people, surrender feels like the easiest option.

But what if there was a solution to your goal-achievement problems?

What if I told you that the Japanese have found this solution?

In this book, we’ll reveal three concepts from the east:

Ikigai – A strategy to discover one’s purpose, meaning, and “true calling” in life.
Hansei – The ancient art of honest self-reflection.
Kaizen – An incrementalist approach to goal achievement developed by Japanese engineers and scientists.

When utilized individually, each discipline is a powerful tool for growth. But when combined together, they can improve your productivity by a factor of TEN! Best of all, it doesn’t matter if you’re a student, a busy mom, or an entrepreneur; all of these techniques still apply!

The methodology can be useful for:

Enhancing your career aspirations,
Getting better grades in school,
Starting a new business,
Learning a new skill,
Losing weight,
Building muscle,
Improving your relationships,
Or, for any endeavor that calls upon you to set, accomplish, and focus on a new goal.

Once you grasp the effectiveness of this system, you’ll have trouble recalling how you ever managed to get anything done without it.

In the book you will learn:

What it takes to discover your own personal “ikigai” (your “true calling” in life), so that every step you take is in harmony with your deepest passions and values.
The secret principle that makes the chore of “habit-forming” seem easy—hence enabling you to defeat the crippling vice of procrastination.
How to focus (How to REALLY focus!) on your daily objectives—thus enhancing your ability to tune out the many distractions that prevent us from getting stuff done.
How to motivate yourself to get your work done, even when every fiber in your brain is begging you to quit.
How to achieve the coveted “flow state” — the mental plateau of peak performance where time seems to disappear and creativity thrives.
How to discover meaning and passion in the chore of living, turning everyday routines into opportunities for lifelong growth and success.
And much, much more…

Sometimes, we all need a refreshing change of pace.

Sometimes we just need a nudge in the right direction—toward the true path of success.

Get the book now, and discover a hidden gem of self-help knowledge that will enable you to turn your dreams into reality.

Guardians: The Girl

Behold the kiss that ends the world…

I’m a proud bookworm—jealous of the heroines I read about. They’re brave, bold, and always off saving the world. Me? The bravest thing I’ve ever done is drink milk two days past its expiration date. My life is safe, simple, and spectacularly boring.

Until…

I’m attacked by a horde of demons—and saved by the Japanese twins from my history class. Turns out, they’re Angels. Literally. Part of a six-member team sent to Earth to find me.

Wait, what?

Apparently, I’m keeping a secret I don’t even know I have. And if the Demons uncover it before the Angels do, they’ll bring Hell to Earth.

The twins take me to their leader, Marcus Cane—stubborn, bossy, and impossibly hot. When he’s near, I can’t breathe. When he’s gone, I panic. But we could never be together. He’s the most powerful Angel alive. I’m… well, just me.

Oh, and he already has a girlfriend—beautiful, brilliant, and deadly. That should’ve kept us apart. It didn’t.

This YA paranormal romance has over 1,000 five-star reviews and is perfect for fans of Twilight, Fallen, and The Mortal Instruments!
