Up for Another Adventure on Q Island?
A new story in the world of Q Island is ready to scare you.
Millions long to break out of quarantine. But Patrick needs to break in.
The paleovirus has swept Long Island, turning residents into psychotic killers. A government quarantine traps Patrick in Connecticut, separated from his mother and pregnant sister on what all now call Q Island. When he loses contact with them, he fears the worst. His only chance to get back and help them is to infiltrate the island as a guide for an illegal safari hunting the infected. But he arrives to find he’s more slave than guide, and the infected are fiercer than ever.
His sister Kim gives birth to Charlotte in the midst of post-apocalyptic Long Island, and begins an instant struggle to survive amidst attacks by the infected and betrayal by family and friends. Kim’s love for her daughter gives her the strength to fight on, but if her brother doesn’t arrive soon, she won’t keep beating the odds.
It’s soon clear there’s something special about Charlotte, and others born under the contagion’s dark cloud. But will children like her prove to be the salvation the islanders pray for, or the last pieces in the puzzle of infected domination?
Get your post apocalyptic fix in paperback, Kindle, or Kindle Unlimited right here.

Want to go back to Q Island?
I doubt you would.
But Patrick does. The quarantine trapped him in Connecticut while his family fends off the homicidal victims of the paleovirus. His sister is about to give birth to her first child and he needs to get home. He signs up as a guide for a secret safari going in to hunt the infected, but ends up becoming a slave. He has to free himself before his family ends up infected or dead. And his new niece... there's something different about this child born under the contagion's dark cloud. But is she a savior or the harbinger of mankind's demise?
Return to Q Island is a Kindle Scout nominee for the next 29 days. If it gets enough votes, Amazon will publish it, and all voters will get a free copy. Vote for free by following this link. Thanks for your amazing reviews of Q Island and all your support!
