"Water" by Dan O' Brien

Today, I welcome my friend and ace author, Dan O'Brien, who will introduce his brand new novella, "Water". It'll have you thirsting for more!


I want to thank you for having me on your blog to promote the release of my latest publication.

Water is a novella in the B-Sides universe, which follows people in a post-apocalyptic world. While each story is a standalone adventure, together they form a deeply intricate web of action, drama, and hope. Here is a brief summary of the novella:

The next installment in the B-Sides series follows a father and son living out a quiet life in northern Arizona. A strange occurrence at the border, and a series of events that turns the world upside down, plunges society into a spiral from which it might not be able to recover. Having to flee from their home with a band of unlikely friends in tow, the open road beckons. 

Can they survive? 


And here be an excerpt for your enjoyment:

There were two reasons to live in the desert: sunsets and sunrises. 

This particular morning was no exception.
