With gas prices as high as they are right now, and most likely are going up again soon, I am seriously considering buying a horse. I know nothing about horses, and I am scared to ride them, yet it still seems like a good idea. We have a park at the end of our street, so I figure I will make a “Horse Parking” sign that looks like an official city sign and post it on either side of the park. Make it look all official and stuff. I know what you’re thinking.. what about the poop? My plan is to hire some of the neighborhood kids to pick it up once a day. Once people see my horse, they will go get their own and soon the park will be filled with horses. That sounds awesome. Sure, a bike to get around town would be much easier, but whats the fun in that?

Some of the survivors are different, powerful. Their bloodlines have been brought together in this time and place to create safety for the remnants of all societies. Fated to lead and rebuild, these magnetic women and men are now the most valuable commodity in the apocalyptic wastelands.
Nuclear war devastated the world just days before Christmas. All governments went underground, leaving their citizens to fend for themselves. The desperate normals who barely managed to stay alive must now make a choice. Do they join the strange, dangerous survivors in forming a more perfect union or do they kill every last one of them? One choice will save the world. The other will finish burying it under the nuclear ashes.
This is Safe Haven
“We offer food, shelter, and protection to all survivors. Does anyone copy?… hello? Is anyone alive out there?”
The end of the world has given humanity a harsh, merciless existence, where nature tries hard to push us to the very brink of extinction. Everything is against us, between us. Untold miles of lawless, apocalyptic roads wait for our feet, and the future, cold and dark, offers little comfort. Without change, there can be no peace — only survivors.

Dead Reckoning (The Still Waters Suspense Series Book 1)
by Axel Blackwell, Dawn Lee McKenna
Genre: Sea Adventures
FREE for a limited time
The real Florida lies far from the interstates, where there are no dancing mice, bikini-covered beaches, or shopping malls. If you listen closely, beneath the cries of hungry gulls and the rustle of wind through the palm fronds, you might hear it whisper its secrets.
Lieutenant Evan Caldwell is a man adrift, cut loose from a life he thought he knew. His wife has lain comatose for months, and the accident that put her there has raised questions that she’s unable to answer. Now, with his wife in a nearby hospice, Evan has moved to a boat in the quiet Panhandle town of Port St. Joe, where he works as an investigator with the local sheriff’s office.
Evan’s hopes for peace and solitude are shattered when the current sheriff is found murdered. Worse, Evan’s put in the position of interim sheriff while he investigates the murder of his former boss.
Evan keeps coming up with more questions than answers; questions about what really happened in the dark privacy of the swamp, and questions about what really happened to his marriage and his wife.
As the answers begin to surface, he discovers secrets as deep and twisted as the roots of the ancient cypress trees that litter the landscape – secrets that no one wants revealed.
