In a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, how far will a father go to save his daughter’s life?

In a world ravaged by the collapse of Earth's oceans, humanity teeters on the brink of survival. Jeremy Colt is a father driven by an unyielding determination to protect his daughter, Sam. With only their bikes and the packs on their backs, they must reach San Diego before her medicine runs out. With resources dwindling and danger lurking at every turn, their journey westward through a fractured America is a desperate bid to find the one place that might hold the key to Sam’s survival.

Haunted by the sacrifices of those he’s loved and lost, Jeremy wrestles with the weight of his choices, the crushing uncertainty of hope, and the shadow of his own humanity. Together with Seth, a resilient boy who’s become like family, they traverse fire-scorched deserts, abandoned towns, and treacherous landscapes in search of a future that may not exist.

The clock is ticking.

Can they get there fast enough?

And if they do, will it even save her?

BARREN WATERS, the Hollywood Book Festival’s Best Science Fiction Novel of 2017, is a gripping tale of resilience, sacrifice, and the enduring power of love. As Jeremy, Sam, and Seth face impossible odds, they must confront the question: what does it truly mean to survive, and how far will they go to protect the ones they love?

"Fiction. Yet possibly a prophecy of things to come if we don't change our ways. Good story, well thought out characters and as a diabetic it scared the bejesus out of me." - Amazon Reviewer

“This book will grab you from the first chapter and keep you riveted throughout.” – Amazon Reviewer

"I just recently made the jump to post-apocalyptic novels, and this will be one of my favorites." - Amazon Reviewer

"It gets under your skin, it makes you think, it challenges your comfort zone and triggers some buried fear." - Amazon Reviewer

Note from the author:

I've always been a fan of survival stories because I love watching people conquer adversity. My sister is diabetic, and I found myself wondering what post-apocalyptic life would be like for people who need insulin to survive. From there, the story took on a life of its own. I hope you enjoy it. -Julia

College was already hell and Linda thought her day couldn’t get any worse. Then the world ended. The sky split open and alien ships descended in a fiery rain from above.

Amid the apocalypse, Linda is forced into a game of survival with the mysterious Noa – a sharp-tongued rebel with a reckless grin. Noa has the skills Linda lacks, but she also has a way of making her question everything she thought she knew about herself.

As the danger escalates, so does the tension between them. The two girls realize that surviving isn’t enough. You need something to fight for.

Corim Colleran is born into a cold and sterile world. In tiny apartments, meager meals are delivered through chutes in the cupboards. In robot-run schools, sexual development is cultivated with clinical precision. No one can leave their corner of the city. No one can change the course of their predetermined days, or the length of their preset lifespans.

The only real thing Corim can choose is the woman he loves, but the life he builds with her is torn apart by a violent encounter with one of society’s elites. Corim goes down a twisted path where he discovers the answers to his lifelong questions about the system ruling him. He also discovers the will to fight it.

The gripping story of Three Days Breathing combines a classic sci-fi aesthetic with modern takes on love, loss, and individualism. Readers should be advised it contains adult themes and moderate violence.

An action packed, fast-paced, mystery thriller, unlike anything you've ever read before!

John Mitchell's life in the small Midwestern town of Mill City is changing forever. The animals in his lab are dying, he learns gut wrenching news about his wife, and the most important meeting of his career gets canceled when Dr. Frank Johnson mysteriously disappears.

After receiving a cryptic package from the missing doctor and accidentally injecting himself with its contents, a serum made from the instructions scribed onto a seven-thousand-year-old artifact, John discovers he has new powerful abilities, and new blood-chilling enemies. He and his wife Jenny are soon running for their lives, hunted by the terrifying figures that will stop at nothing to protect the serum's seven-thousand-year-old secret, and retrieve the artifact needed to finish their plans.

On the run and searching for answers, they are thrown into a world of ancient secrets, esoteric mysteries and a clandestine underground race, when they become trapped in a cavern that holds the shocking secret history of the Human Race, deep underneath the ancient ruins of Babylon.

As millions of people around the world suddenly begin disappearing, John and Jenny learn the horrific news of the inevitable extinction of the human race. But when John discovers the hideously evil, secret motivation of the ancient race that is supposed to be saving them, he must rely on his new-found abilities to rescue the woman he loves, Earth, and the billions of tortured souls locked deep within it.

Join the thousands of fans that have taken S.E. Meyer's thrilling, fact filled, roller-coaster ride, deep into the thought provoking, controversial, yet compelling world of what we think we know to be true.

A few minutes ago, Meghan Moretti’s biggest concern was getting the kids’ athletic clothes washed in time for practice this evening. Now, Earth has been forced into participating in some high-stakes intergalactic reality television. All electrical wiring has been slagged, and most combustibles neutralized. Some kind of evil space rodents are appearing on the front lawn, too.

Like any parent, Meghan’s first instinct is to keep her young children safely away from the monsters. When she learns that’s not possible, she has to find ways to help them thrive anyway.

What’s a mom to do?
