The After Days
In a world without power, you need the power of friendship and love to survive.
Middle-aged suburbanites Rachel and Zach team with their friends to battle not only the predators and scavengers who lurk around every corner but also empty pantries, boredom, despair … and sometimes each other. How far are they willing to go to survive the Big Blackout?
This gripping dystopian twist on contemporary fiction about a woman who must find within herself the strength and ingenuity to endure a world suddenly without electricity is both terrifyingly real and astonishingly tender.
Perfect for book clubs, The After Days explores the ethical quandaries and logistical problems of ordinary suburbanites – people whose most recent problems were dodgy Wi-Fi and cranky bosses – in their struggle to survive in the increasingly treacherous suburbs of Washington, DC.

The Many Deaths of Charlie Stewart
I’m currently working through the final edits on a novel about a retired government assassin who volunteers his services to people wanting death with dignity. When his beloved wife is diagnosed with ovarian cancer, Charlie views death in an entirely new way, no longer instigating it but desperately fighting it. What will Charlie do if Beth requests her own final release from a tenacious cancer?
