Book Description
Middle school seems like a fight to survive for most students. There’s a sense of freedom, a sense of fear, and a sense of resentment stemming from trying to navigate a world that seems to want to tear them apart. Teachers seem to be oozing with resentment, blinded by their drive to make students more like them. Vic and Flo are two besties on the verge of the biggest test of their young lives as a spirit week assembly turns deadly when students are attacked by zombified teachers. They find themselves embarking on a pass-fail test to escape and find answers. Along the way they meet more young survivors: C.J, Connor, Izzy, and Leanne. As they travel together piecing together clues hidden in their survival stories, one thing becomes clear: zombies aren’t their only obstacle. As they travel in search of supplies and somewhere to call home, they push to find answers about the hordes. What makes the zombies blind? Why do they all look like they’re sweating? How does the infection spread? The one question they can’t answer is: what started it all?

Book Description
Connor Race: The Tontine Plot follows the perilous exploits of American Security Agency (ASA) covert operative, Connor Race, and a cast of characters as they encounter deadly adversaries bent on the destruction of Shade Cassedy, the alluring, spoiled, twenty-four-year-old who has no clue of her planned demise. As Race moves across the shadowy landscapes of intrigue, betrayal, potential romance and clandestine operations, he knows one thing for certain, a self-evident truth that requires no proof""the more you win, the closer you come to losing. Are Middle East extremists responsible for the murderous attempts on the young lady's life because of her father's agency duties or is there a brutal home-grown scheme of greed to exterminate her? Ordinarily, this type of assignment is not part of the ASA's raison d'être, but there are mitigating circumstances as to why she has come under the guardianship of the agency. What initially is assumed to be a "babysitting" assignment is anything but. Experience the initial fast-paced violent pursuit on Bolivia's high-altitude Death Road, and the eventual deadly conspiracy in the southern mountain vistas of New Mexico to murder Ms. Cassedy, who unwittingly possesses a long-buried family secret dating back to the Revolutionary War. The cryptic word, Tontine, is introduced to the narrative and has been obscurely identified with her family. Is she a direct descendant to one of the Founders or is she related to a financial strategy from the same period? The mysterious director of the ASA, Mr. Marco, periodically hints he knows why she must live and have children. Is there some definite esoteric destiny she is meant to fulfill? The exciting finale occurs at the Gran Quivira 1650 Spanish ruins in isolated southern New Mexico. This work is not formulaic and is not meant to follow familiar pattern dynamics.
