Okay, it is her fault, but why quibble over details? When Brandy (a puff piece reporter for a local Los Angeles TV news station) returns to her hometown after a four year absence, she is thrilled to be reunited with friends and family. But her joy is short-lived when her best friend, John, becomes the victim of a tragic accident. Brandy is alone in thinking that the death is “no accident” and as she sets out to prove her theory, she stumbles upon a political scandal of major proportions. Things begin to heat up, when it appears that her former boyfriend, police Detective Robert Anthony DiCarlo, is involved in sabotaging the investigation. The one thing Brandy knows for sure is that people keep turning up dead and if she doesn’t get some answers fast, she could end up on the short list. As Brandy searches out the truth, she gains some unexpected allies including sexy, dangerous, street-savvy Nicholas Santiago and the now-married Bobby, who still holds a torch for his former girlfriend. With humor, guts and determination, Brandy tackles each challenge – be it dodging a bullet or resisting that box of Tastykakes in the cupboard. Murder, mayhem and romance abound in Shelly Fredman’s novel, proving there really is No Such Thing as a Secret.

When the lights went out in August of 2036, no one was prepared for what it would mean. No one saw it coming, and no business or government had put in place plans sufficient enough to withstand the event.
Unlike other blackouts, the event of 2036 was caused by the largest coronal mass ejection mankind had ever seen. The world went from normal, daily life to a fight for survival in a split second. No matter who you were, where you were from, or how much money you had, the collapse hit everyone.
Sean Heevy, a loving husband and father of three daughters, was like everyone else, living his daily life. His family had started a trip to Hawaii without him, while Sean was having to make a detour to Los Angeles, and that’s where he was, 36,000 feet in the air, when the lights went out.
Full of confusion, fear, and overpowering helplessness, Sean and his fellow passengers greeted the new world with a terrifying plunge from the heavens.
Upon miraculously surviving his plane’s crash, Sean could think of just one thing: Getting to his family. Though they may be on the other side of desert and ocean alike, a drive to get to them took him over. Knowing that, in a world without lights, the worst of people would come to the front; fearing that, in a world without water, resources would be fought and killed for; dreading that, in a soon-to-be merciless world, his family would be too innocent to survive, he knew he had to get to them.
Traveling over the barren deserts of Arizona, through the once-great metropolises of Phoenix and Los Angeles, and across the world’s greatest ocean, Sean knew that it was likely, if not guaranteed, that he wouldn’t make it. He was just a marketer; he was just a thirty-six-year-old dad who couldn’t even fix a sink, but love, fear, and instinct are powerful motivators to warrior through the worst of what humanity, nature, and God will throw at you.
