Synopsis

You’re one of the lucky ones – you lived through the global pandemic that eradicated seven billion people. You survived civilization’s collapse and the unspeakable atrocities committed by desperate people. Now it’s two years later...and you’re still alive.So are two intriguing groups of survivors living in close proximity on the Florida coast. The first, a harmonious community of highly intelligent people who reside on a former island paradise; they are determined to create sustainable quality of life. The other, camping in a Costco warehouse on the nearby mainland, a ruthless tribe of organized raiders who will stop at nothing to provide for their own.Not only must they endure hardships and hunger in their ravaged world, fate seems hell bent to crush them all as a monster hurricane seethes in the Atlantic. Fans of Stephen King’s “The Stand” will love these novels. Intricately plotted, superbly paced, and brought to life by fully-developed protagonists, quirky supporting characters (some you will recognize from the previous books), and charming villains, the Troop of Shadows Chronicles is a tour de force. It is the unfolding story of the greatest threat humanity has ever faced, and is populated with some of the most entertaining people you will ever meet.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

If you want to be a writer, you must begin by falling in love with reading. My love affair began when my mother and grandmother captivated and enthralled a preschool girl with Dr. Seuss books and fairy tales. When I learned to read on my own, my first “big” book was Charlotte’s Web and then Stuart Little. The hook was set; I was a bibliophile for life. I read everything I could get my hands on, age-appropriate or not. In our home, nestled in a bookcase that had been painted and repainted, as was most of our repurposed furniture, a collection of Reader’s Digest Condensed Books took up space next to an old set of Encyclopaedia Britannica. I consumed abridged versions of The Good Earth, Grimm’s Fairy Tales, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, and countless others. It was around this time when my aunt (a school teacher) gave me The Chronicles of Narnia; they will always remain among my lifetime favorites. Then came Nancy Drew, the Little House on the Prairie series, and any works of horror or science fiction I could find at the library. When I was twelve, I read a post-apocalyptic novel called No Blade of Grass and shortly after, The Omega Man, and thus my lifetime love of the genre was cemented. (I remember calling in sick to work so I could finish The Stand.) In my teen years, I wrote some really awful poetry, then a number of short stories over the next decades, some of which weren’t even awful. I finally got serious about writing several years ago. The timing felt perfect, and I was able to slip into the habit of sitting down at my keyboard every day and cranking out some not-too-shabby prose. My first published novel, Secrets Under the Mesa, began as a short story. I decided it had some legs and went with it. The inspiration for The Troop of Shadows Chronicles emerged from two directions: my love of post-apocalyptic fiction, and a recent interest in disaster preparedness. Stephen King says, “Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.” I love this quote and I agree with it, but I would add that writers are born – you either have it or you don’t. If you do have it, it takes a lot of work to become good at it, and even more work to finish what you begin. I hope you’ll enjoy my novels. I wrote them for fellow book lovers just like you. (I live in the suburbs of Dallas, Texas, with my husband and two spoiled rotten dogs.)
