#4 The First 30 Days
Zombies. It was out in the open, that word that I had been avoiding for days. Now that it was out, there was no putting it back.”No one saw it coming.

When Bri's roommate suddenly develops a taste for cannibalism, she finds herself trapped in her upstairs bathroom, unable to comprehend the horrors that she sees through the small window.

With the help of a bat-wielding stranger, she barely escapes the overrun city. Together, they just might survive long enough to find a safe haven. The zombie apocalypse is a strange time to be alive. The dead walk and eat the living, but they're not the most dangerous thing this new world has to offer. There are other survivors out there. And not all of them can be trusted.

Liam Peters must spend his summer vacation taking care of his lame great-grandmother, and for an almost-sixteen-year-old, it's the worst injustice he could imagine.

Somewhere along the way, he realizes he has two women he'd die to save. But Victoria is no damsel in distress, nor is the ever-feisty Grandma Marty.
The trio is swept up in the action to escape the zombie outbreak, but can two teens and an elderly woman survive criminal encounters, panicked citizens, and a military running out of options?
And do it as mutating zombies press in from all sides?

If you like zombie novels with ongoing societal collapse, zombie hordes always bearing down on the heroes, a little conspiracy, and skin-of-teeth escapes, you won’t be able to put down this awesome read!
#1 Infection: A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Novel
They weren't ready for the apocalypse but ready or not, it was coming...
Faced with the very real possibility of extinction of the human race, Cole Evans has only one chance to save his family and survive — a safe haven on an isolated, hard to reach island.
No one realizes there's a deadly illness spreading like wildfire until it's too late. With few symptoms, victims literally drop dead after a brief surge of energy. Within days, the virus tears through the population of the United States and the world.
Can Cole convince his brother that the danger is real and that there's enough space for his family as well? And, can they all reach the island before the lights go out for them ... forever?
Top Reader’s Comment: Most of the really bad diseases that are with us today--and there are many--usually people can tell they are getting sick and can go for help. But what if a disease appeared where the person experienced euphoria-wanting noting but to dance and sing and have a party? That's what occurs in this novel. Where the disease came from no one knows--or if they do--they sure are not telling!
Cole Evans is an epidemiologist who had previously worked in Africa with Ebola and other horrible diseases. Cole's wife died and he had only his son--he decided to retire. A woman he met there was still with the CDC. Then he got a phone call from her telling him to pack up his family and get somewhere-somewhere safe. This disease was spreading like wildfire. There was no time to lose!!
Cole called his son and told him to meet at the isolated island--He then went to his brother's house and told them to pack up. Obviously they gave him a hard time--but did as he requested. The disease was hitting his neighborhood as they were getting ready to leave.
Off they drove-caravan style--Cole hoping that his son made it!
Cole's son had quite the adventure! They all picked up people along the way.
Not everything is happily ever after.
But will they survive the isolation? Another cliff hanger--------------
This had me gulping and wondering if I would be able to avoid contamination of this devastating disease--would I be strong enough to survive with no public services?
