Journal (Moore)

A shocking natural disaster rocks the country. And, only one woman is prepared to handle the fallout. A post-apocalyptic thriller series begins. When a major crisis rocks the nation, supply lines are shut down everywhere. The small town of Moose Creek feels the effects almost immediately as they begin to run out of food. In the remote regions of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the residents are hit again, when the power is cut off to them in the middle of a brutal winter and they must struggle with one calamity after another, with the help of one woman Allexa Smeth is their under-trained Emergency Manager, with problems of her own.

The survival saga of Allexa Smeth and the town of Moose Creek continues. While the rest of the nation has begun, the slow process of recovering from the devastating earthquakes of months earlier, the small town of Moose Creek is still suffering. The food bank and soup kitchen Allexa Smeth helped established to feed her community have closed, but the locals rally and find ways to feed themselves, leaving Allexa the luxury of taking care of just her small family. Hope is on the horizon, but still out of reach. Attacked by a vicious few who would take her family's most precious resource, Allexa Smeth fights back with her very being to protect her own, but it's only the beginning of what's to come. More earthquakes rock the nation and the perplexing sudden apathy of the town shocks Allexa into withdrawal, when she realizes they are no longer heeding her warnings. The lasting darkness they are plunged into doesn't have anything to do with a light switch.

Massive electrical storms roll across the upper peninsula of Michigan as a result of the supervolcano eruption out west. Destructive lightning sets the city on fire, illuminating the night with crimson skies. Allexa Smeth and her town of Moose Creek are finding it more and more difficult to survive the latest unleashing of natural-and manmade-disasters. Crimson Skies continues the saga of The Journal and takes the reader head-long into the fury that only Mother Nature can dish out.

The post-apocalyptic saga takes you headlong into the fury that only Mother Nature can dish out-and that only those who have prepared for can survive. Massive electrical storms roll across the upper peninsula of Michigan as a result of the supervolcano eruption. Destructive lightning sets the city on fire, illuminating the night with blood-red skies. Allexa Smeth and her town of Moose Creek are finding it more and more difficult to survive the latest unleashing of natural-and manmade-disasters. The land is becoming more uninhabitable, and those who choose to stay might end up digging their own graves.

After half of the town of Moose Creek died during another flu outbreak, Allexa Smeth was a lost soul. With Colonel James Andrews, she decided to set out to find the rift that broke the Upper Peninsula in half. Finding the colonel's men was a priority, but they didn't know it would mean getting into more than they bargained for-and possibly more than they could handle.

The world was shaking apart and the North American continent was at the heart of it. An earthquake ripped the country in half at the New Madrid fault line. Shipping ceased and sent the country into a tailspin, with small towns like Michigan's Moose Creek suffering the most. Recovery came slow as the country pulled itself together, until another more terrifying quake hit, awakening the sleeping caldera beneath Yellowstone. The ash that circled the world disrupted weather patterns everywhere, blotting out the sun and stirring up massive storms. Allexa Smeth and Colonel James Andrews set out to find the rift that broke the Upper Peninsula in half, turning two Great Lakes into one and causing massive floods. Finding the colonel's men was a priority, but Allexa and the colonel didn't know it would mean getting into more than they bargained for - and possibly more than they could handle.

Unprepared. Undaunted. The blockbuster post-apocalyptic thriller series continues with the story of an ordinary woman facing an extraordinary disaster. When a seemingly minor tremor escalates into a major earthquake, Christine, the spoiled daughter of John Tiggs, is stranded in the middle of it in St. Louis. Caught at ground zero of the violent catastrophe, Christine must overcome her fears and prejudices to stay alive and find her way home, on her own. And, if she ever gets there, she still may not be safe.

When a seemingly minor tremor escalates into a major earthquake, spoiled and pampered Christine Tiggs is stranded in the middle of it. Caught at ground zero of the violent catastrophe, Christine must overcome her fears and prejudices to stay alive and find her way home-on her own. And if she ever gets there, she still may not be safe.

A crumbling country, an emotional reunion, and a rush of violence, bring the post-apocalyptic thriller series to a stunning conclusion. John Tiggs, mining engineer and munitions expert, tried to get back to the small town of Moose Creek after the first ash fall from the Yellowstone caldera. Instead, he got picked up during a martial law crackdown and thrown in a labor camp. To free himself, he agrees to work for FEMA for six months helping with their rescue and recovery efforts. It is hard and dangerous work, but John finds it emotionally satisfying, knowing that he is making a difference. Nearly two years later, John is finally on his way home to an unknown reception - he let a lot of people down when he left, and now it's time he made it up to them. Meanwhile, Allexa Smeth, Emergency Manager and reluctant deputy mayor of Moose Creek, has her own problems when a band of rogue militants comes to town and tries to seize control. With Colonel James Andrews missing, Allexa must enlist the help of the nearby military base to save her town from an even bigger threat.
