Kevin is willing to follow their kidnapper’s demands, but Claire is conflicted and wants nothing to do with The Matchmaker’s sick and twisted game.

As Claire and Kevin get to know each other, unsettling dark secrets from their pasts begin to surface, making her even more determined not to be forced into a relationship with a man she doesn’t desire.

Will Kevin’s quirky personality and kind heart win Claire over in the end, or will she have to pretend to fall in love with a complete stranger to satisfy The Matchmaker’s demands in order to save their lives?

THE CHILDREN

(an apocalyptic survival series)

GENERATION LOST

If you like fast-paced action, zombie carnage, and apocalyptic survival thrillers with a twist, this book delivers!

An unexplained and aggressive illness sweeps across the globe, killing all the world’s children. Within twenty-four hours of death, they rise again... ravenous. It’s a parent’s worst nightmare as the world comes to grips with the fact that an entire generation is lost.

In Dallas, Texas, Dillon Winters, a twenty-nine-year-old single father, and his brother, Zach, battle to survive in a world gone mad after the deaths of their children.

Barely evading almost certain death and with no one left they can trust, the brothers leave Dallas only to encounter violent gangs and hordes of zombie children.

The entire journey to safety is fraught with constant danger. From infected children, other survivors, good Samaritans with ulterior motives, and their own stupid mistakes.

To top it off, it seems like every time something goes Dillon’s way, good old Murphy comes along and demands his pound of flesh.

MURPHY’S LAW

Murphy’s Law: If anything can go wrong, it will go wrong and at the worst possible moment.

Truer words have never been spoken about Dillon Winters and his brother, Zach, who are doing their best to carve out a new life for themselves on the plains of west-central Kansas. After barely escaping with their lives while fleeing the horrors of Dallas, TX, they are forging ahead as they undertake a mission to unite others in a common goal: survival.

As their small community grows, so do the problems. The infected remain a constant danger, but the brothers soon realize the much deadlier enemy is actually human survivors who are only out for themselves.

Dillon grows closer to Sara, a fellow survivor and divorcée from an abusive marriage, while her ex-husband’s anger grows at their burgeoning relationship.

Tensions rise when a woman’s dead body is discovered hanging from a rope in the middle of the compound. Was it suicide or murder? Not sure who he can trust, Dillon searches for the truth while battling gangs, the infected, and the evil within their own walls.

On top of everything else, a scavenging mission goes horribly wrong as Murphy’s Law collides with them at every turn and threatens to take Zach away. With most of his family already dead, missing, or infected, Dillon is willing to fight his way to hell and back to save his brother’s life.

Through it all, Dillon must battle his internal demons as he continues to struggle with his daughter’s death and the strange nightmares that are becoming more and more frequent.

NEW BEGINNINGS

Like a phoenix rising from the smoldering ashes of their ruined past, the Winters brothers face an uphill battle as they carve out a new beginning for their group of survivors!

Dillon Winters and the survivors he gathered must reevaluate their lives after finding a temporary place to shelter while they consider their options. While facing an uncertain future, they discover a spark of hope. Forging ahead with the desire to start anew, they search for the missing members of their group and stumble across a kidnapping ring. Unwilling to leave any of his people behind, Dillon hatches a crazy rescue plan. But can the group pull it off?

The survivors learn of a possible safe haven in Colorado and must choose whether to stay in Kansas and rebuild their compound, or trust that the people in Colorado are who they claim to be. With a split decision, the survivors break into two groups and go their separate ways.

One person strikes out on their own to search for answers about the kidnappings, running into more than he bargained for. Dillon is forced to risk his life to set things right while placing his trust in the one person who wants him dead.

As if this isn’t enough, a mission to scavenge supplies is fraught with peril as the infected attack and a new threat emerges, putting everyone’s lives in danger. With enemies coming out of the woodwork, things don’t look promising for the survivors as they restart their lives the best they can while defending it against the infected children, gangs, kidnappers, and the unknown.

QUEST FOR ANSWERS

A multitude of new threats, mysteries, and enemies collide to produce a chaotic series of events that forces Dillon Winters to question everything he thought he knew while creating uncertainty about the survival of the human species.

After discovering his sister-in-law is pregnant and concerned the baby might be at risk of becoming infected, Dillon Winters ventures outside the security of the compound to uncover the truth behind the infection.

In his quest to uncover the secrets behind Cody Pyle’s blood, he embarks on a terrifying journey to Colorado, only to stumble upon a new and unexpected threat. One that’s more terrifying than the infected.

SIDE QUEST

THE CHILDREN (continued)

(an apocalyptic survival series)

ANSWERS

With his daughter’s death weighing heavily on his shoulders, Dillon Winters relentlessly pursues those responsible for the virus outbreak while trying to rescue Sid’s family, navigating a treacherous landscape of lies and deception. Haunted by betrayal from those he considered friends, he grapples with inner turmoil, desperately seeking the truth and providing justice to those responsible for murdering billions of innocent people.

Dillon Winters, his brother, and several members from the compound make a trek to West Virginia to fulfill a promise made to Sid to rescue his family. In exchange, the scientist agrees to reveal the secrets he’s holding and work on a vaccine for the deadly virus.

A shocking act of treachery from within their ranks leaves Dillon questioning who he can trust and if the details surrounding his daughter’s death are true, or another wild conspiracy designed to manipulate him into doing what his supposed allies want.

Armed with unreliable answers, Dillon faces a terrible dilemma: risk everything to confront those who killed his daughter and billions of others, or passively stand by and watch as hundreds more innocent people die.

Despite relying on the remnants of the NSA and FBI, a scheme to breach the heavily secured government bunker is devised, but unexpected challenges emerge.

Faced with the risk of an invasion by a horde of infected children and a growing distrust toward his potential allies, Dillon plays his cards close to his chest while seeking ways to protect himself, his friends, and potentially hundreds of innocent civilians being held captive inside the bunker.

ACCEPTANCE

Tensions run high as the lies, deception, and traitorous actions continue to plague the survivors.

Dillon Winters faces overwhelming odds from a horde of infected and the threat of madness as he struggles to save himself and the others trapped in the resort.

Things take a turn for the worse as Dillon fights his inner demons, but help comes from an unexpected place, giving him a glimmer of hope that all is not lost.

The stakes grow as the bad news keeps piling up while Cody’s brain surgery looms closer and closer, causing Dillon to second guess his every move.

While searching for supplies, Dillon stumbles across a discovery that might change everything they thought they knew about the infected, making the beasts more of a threat than ever before.

Lies run rampant as those involved in the conspiracy to rid the world of most of its population try to cover their tracks. Can Dillon and his friends unravel the tangle web of truth and lies before it’s too late, or will everything they’ve worked so hard to build come crashing down around them and ultimately bring an end to the human race?

THE SMART ONES

Content to let the government track down the rest of the traitors, Dillon Winters settles into his new life at home. Unbeknownst to him, Murphy has more nefarious plans and soon unleashes them on the unsuspecting survivors.

As the remaining survivors at the compound gain ground in their fight against the infected, Murphy unexpectedly throws a wrench into the works and creates a significant setback as the infected start evolving into new—and far more deadly—creatures.

The speed, intelligence, and unmatched cleverness of the new breed of infected—renamed the smart ones—sets them apart from the original infected. The new version of the beasts is not only deadlier, but through some unknown biological process, they’ve completely re-engineered their internal organs and returned from the dead!

Following an attack on a survivor camp, Dillon Winters and a small contingent of the United States Army are compelled to engage in a relentless pursuit of the smart ones. The ferocious beasts are far more dangerous than anticipated, leaving several casualties, numerous injuries, and a potential new variant of the virus in their wake.

In addition to the recently discovered smart ones, the survivors’ precarious situation is further complicated by the discovery of a shocking plot to assassinate the president—and, unexpectedly, Dillon.

Plagued by uncertainty regarding who he can truly trust, Dillon exhausts every resource at his disposal to expose the conspirators and safeguard the president’s life before the traitors can assassinate him. Will his efforts be enough for him to succeed in his quest, or will they end in failure—and possibly his own death?

DILLON’S REVENGE

With the threat of a new virus coursing through his veins, Dillon Winters vows to stop chasing conspiracies and spend the time he has with his friends and family. Unfortunately, Murphy has other plans, and Dillon is forced to make a life-altering decision that will change the trajectory of his life and the lives of those he loves.

As Dillon does his best to fulfill his obligations to the president, he learns all is not what it seems and uncovers a conspiracy within the traitors. He must confront high-ranking officials within the military to get to the truth.

Meanwhile, tests confirm that the strain of virus he is infected with is incurable, nor can a vaccine be made to combat it. Terrified it will mutate and he will unknowingly infect those he loves, he’s forced to leave to compound and strike out on his own.

Now that the military is focused on killing the infected, he uses his new ability to kill as many of the smart ones as he can before his child is born.

When he is confronted with some horrible news, he has no option but to do the unthinkable to keep his family safe. Will he be able to pull off his daring plan, or will Murphy throw another monkey wrench into the works?
