This is the first paper and pencil I’ve seen in a long time.  We’ve finally been allowed to keep some of the salvage items for private use.  Now that I have it I’m not quite sure where to begin.  All I know is that I have some driving need to write it all out, to somehow try and make sense of what has occurred.

So begins our story.  Sub-genre is disaster fiction.

I sat down to rest and think.  I needed to do both before going any further.  Resting was the easy part.  Even as big and strong as I am I was at the end of my rope from carrying first Jonathon and then Nana hoping to get to a place where we could find their medicine still in supply.  It was either rest or fall flat on my face before too much longer that’s why I’d had to stop in the first place, that and the fact that I wasn’t used to the altitude.  I don’t care how big and strong you are, high altitudes will kick your backside if you aren’t used to it.

The following books are a trilogy. Each of the three can be read as a stand alone story but they all take place in the same AU, just at different points along the timeline. Their order is "Larkspur in Eden," "Fel By the Wayside," and lastly "The Linder Legacy."

Larkspur in Eden- It's the future but not a bright and shiny one for the survivors of the Days of Destruction. Life is hard for most people, and harder still for some.

Fel By The Wayside- With no warning, Fel and her crèche sisters are sold to pay the debts of Suburbia. They must leave the Outlands and learn to survive in the more civilized Arkanses territory. No easy task when there are daily reminders that set them apart.

The Linder Legacy- Think Dystopian future meets Steampunk. This one has a little bit of everything in it. Mystery, fantasy, steampunk, adventure, dystopian, AU, romance ... you name it.

Young Dacey faces world changing events with courage and homespun sense.

Story covers several years.  Dacey's younger brother is Special Needs.  Will write a better intro shortly.

It was just one disaster after another. Some people began to wonder if it was Armageddon; weird cults sprang up garbling together all sorts of science fiction & out of context Biblical scriptures. If it wasn't Armageddon, they thought it was a more mundane end of the world scenario. Either/or to be honest. It definitely was the end of the world for a lot of people.

Author's Note:  YA story with elements of action and adventure.  Sub-genre would be "disaster fiction".

What the cops don't know is about the galvanized trash can behind the shed. And don't you open it either. I used Liquid Nails to glue it shut and also put all that duct tape around it. Tommy is in there. I guess you can tell his folks that he didn't run off with that girl like that thought. Maybe they won't be so mad or sad now. He was infected and was way beyond being help.

Author's Note:  Zombies?  Not exactly.  Just call them Infecteds. I'm not completely convinced that this is solely a YA novel but it isn't your traditional horror novel either.  It has elements of both.
