Who will survive the Apocalypse? As the hammer of winter crushes the people of the former United States, life goes on and people struggle to continue in difficult circumstances, reestablishing former connections as the secondary flu ravishes the youth. Old and dark questions reemerge. Who did this to them? Why?Meanwhile, Emmaus concentrates on what is within their control -- defending their borders, caring for their families, helping each other as they can, and the discovery of a homicide inside the wire.With so many dying, a single murder seems irrelevant, but eternal optimist Cai Delaney dons his sleuth hat and sets out to identify the murderer.
The willow branch is broadcast. A healer must mend a fractured kingdom and bring two enemy races together before a greater enemy destroys them both. Fate took Prince Maryn by surprise, leaving Celdrya to tear itself apart. A century later an army amasses against the warring remains of the kingdom as prophesy sends a half-elven healer on a journey to find the nameless True King. Padraig lacks the power to put the True King on the throne, yet compelled by forces greater than himself, Padraig contends with dark mages, Celtic goddesses, human factions and the ancient animosities of two peoples while seeking a myth. With all that distraction, a man might meet the True King and not recognize him.
Chaos changes everything Shane Delaney, a burned-out mercenary with a troubled past, returns home to small-town Kansas to heal his scars and quiet his demons, not planning to stay long enough for the townsfolk to reject who he has become.He never expected the town to need his deadlier skills.When a terrorist attack on distant cities abruptly transforms life as they knew it, the people of Emmaus must forge their own disaster plan to survive.What would you do if the world as you know it ended today?The people of Emmaus will find out.
The Raven rises as the One's Dragon falls.Padraig's quest to heal the fractured kingdom of Celdrya seems at an end as Tamys's life hangs by a thread. Darkness obscures the One's True King as the kingdom stands poised on the edge of destruction, torn by factions, manipulated by dark magicks, distrustful of natural allies, and unaware that a brutal army swells at her borders.Mayhap the mantle of healing now passes to the Kin sorceress Ryanna, if she can battle herself free of the traps of court intrigue, the politics of mating and rising plague. Meanwhile, dragons and kings real and false stir and mage power changes hands as a kingdom that does not remember its past may be doomed to repeat it.

For a committed democrat, it sure does suck when you lose an election.You know what I mean?Nearly half the country refuses to listen to the other half. We think we know what the other side means, but we never venture outside our own bubbles to actually find out. Libertarian Connor infiltrates both bubbles in a Midwestern town on Election Wednesday 2016 and brings readers along for a wry non-partisan tour of the "Bubble Battles." He even offers a solution ... not that any bubble dwellers will listen.This novelette is a work of fiction based upon real-life events. Any resemblance to yourself or people you know is purely coincidental.

Things appear to be looking up as power and communications are restored, but a devastating corn field fire puts the town's survival at risk just as the USDA's cow cops arrive to coordinate crop redistribution. While Shane and Rob work to save the town, Cai -- on the run from the Army for Shane's actions -- comes face-to-face with the reality of martial law.What's a law-abiding town of individualists supposed to do when the rules of civil society change? The people of Emmaus must decide.

While some distant community members undertake perilous journeys home through a human landscape that is rapidly becoming unrecognizable, others face life-altering decisions right where they are.Darkness is falling and a new day will dawn, seared in blood and fire.
