Thirty million people died in the initial attacks. How will the survivors live in the aftermath? The rain passes and the people of Emmaus emerge to find the world looks much the same as when they hid behind concrete. Then reality sets in. Death crept in while they hid. Signs of returning normality offer hope, but the transformation of the United States is underway and electricity and food supplies are the least of their problems. If your world suddenly spun out of control, where would you go?

About the author
Lela Markham
29 books92 followersLela Markham is the pen name of an Alaskan novelist who was raised in a home built of books. Alaska is a grand adventure like none other with a culture that embraces summer adventure and winter artistic pursuits.
Lela has been a journalist, worked in the mental health field, and currently works for the State of Alaska, but her avocation has always been storyteller.
She's writing-publishing three series. Daermad Cycle (The Willow Branch, Mirklin Wood, and Fount of Wraiths) begins an exploration of the world of Daermad where a fractured kingdom leaves two races vulnerable to destruction by a third and opens the opportunity to mend old wounds.
Transformation Project (now 10 books published) focuses on a small Midwestern town coping in the aftermath of a national terrorist attack.
What If...Wasn't (now 4 books and growing) follows the life of a troubled young man as he reaches toward an uncertain future.
Lela has also written a political satire "Hullabaloo on Main Street" about America's "bubble" battles and her shorts have been featured in five anthologies. Her full-length romance pays homage to Lahaina as it was.
When not writing stories, Lela reads political philosophy, economics, history, mysteries, fantasies, science fiction, and the backs of cereal boxes and enjoys speculative tales on TV. For variety, she quilts, tackles home improvement projects, hikes the Alaskan wilderness well-armed against the wildlife, and holds blackbelts in cold weather living and mosquito annihilation. Oh, and aurora viewing … it’s all about the aurora watching.
Lela shares her life with her two fearless offspring and an brand-new Lab puppy who is just trying to figure it out. You can find her at Substack under Aurorawatcher Alaska or stalk her old-school at lelamarkham@gmail.com
