The End of All ThingsBy Lissa Bryan
After
a terrible virus ravages the planet, Carly Daniels, one of the few survivors,
hides in her apartment in Juneau trying to survive the best she can with only
occasional forays to gather food. With her is Sam, a wolf puppy she found
starving on the streets. He becomes her companion and a reason to continue when
giving up sometimes seems like the more attractive option. Still dazed with
shock and grief, she hopes for the world to go back to normal soon.
She is discovered by Justin, an ex-soldier who is intent on making his way to Florida before the winter sets in. Justin coaxes her out of her hiding place and convinces her to join him on his journey, because a warmer climate will be their best chance against the extremes of Mother Nature.
Together, they begin a perilous journey through a nation laid to waste by the disaster. Challenges abound along the way. The weather, injury, and shortage of supplies all help to slow them down. In time, they discover that they aren’t the only survivors. Some are friendly but some have had their minds destroyed by the high fever. Then there are those who simply take what they want, leaving Carly and Justin with no choice but to defend what is theirs.
But their journey is not without joy and love. Together, they face every struggle, including an unplanned pregnancy. Despite the perils of bringing a child into a world of chaos, their baby is a new beginning for themselves and a symbol of hope for the other survivors they find along the way.
This is the story of their journey to find a place to begin a new life, and a home in each other.
Can't wait!

DeleteWow! Your last end of times story was so good, but so sad. I can't wait to see what this one has in store.
ReplyDeleteThis one's a romance, not in the tragedy category. :) I think you'll like it.
DeleteWow... that was fast, hon'. I didn't expect this little gift today. I just know everyone's going to love this story. I loved the beginning, thanks again for sharing it with me.

Thank you, Jess. The photographer was Amanda Spitz. As soon as I saw the picture, I knew it was supposed to be my cover. I kept looking at other photos, but nothing captured my attention like this one.
DeleteI am looking forward to another one of your amazing tales! I really enjoyed reading the summary...I am such a big fan of sci-fi and futuristic novels. In looking at the book cover I get the feeling of the couple in the picture they are on a journey...hopefully walking out of the tunnel and into the light. Congrats on completing another novel!
ReplyDeleteYep... The artist was able to see exactly what I had in mind. But at the end of the tunnel, another journey begins...
