Overnight, the serene coastal town of Bellingham, Washington erupts into a battleground as a deadly pathogen sweeps through the state, claiming thousands of lives and prompting the Governor to declare Phase Zero, a statewide lockdown. Amid the turmoil, Max Maddison strives to reunite with his loved ones while evading ruthless gutter punks, a squad of deputies commanded by a menacing sheriff, and a sinister funeral home director who’s nipping at his heels.

Even with Max’s trusty SUV—affectionately named the Beast—and the unwavering support of his fearless childhood friend Carter, this is a formidable challenge for a twenty-two-year-old plagued by thanatophobia, the intense fear of death. You better buckle your seatbelt and hold on for your life, as this adrenaline-fueled adventure will be an uphill bloody fight.

The conclusion of the best-selling trilogy!

The name of the culprit behind Earth’s Calamity has finally been revealed, and it's one feared by all: Eater of Worlds.

As the spearheads of humanity, it's now up for Unity and her crew to search for the means to thwart the inevitable ending, but for that, they’ll also need the support of every surviving human on the planet.

And that's not so easily accomplished.

Even as doom creeps closer, the majority of the remaining population still struggles against the endless hordes of mutated monsters. Before facing the ultimate threat, the crew must find ways to uplift the rest of humanity and reclaim their planet.

Only then will the human race stand a chance against the final apocalypse.

Shemer has been a fan of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and RPG games since the early 80’s.

In 2016 he started writing his first novel: Life Reset which turned into a 6-book series with its grand finale published in 2021. Each book in the series became an Amazon bestseller.

In 2019 Shemer quit his day job as a software developer to become a full-time author and released his second series: Earth Force, a sci-fi series consisting of a 2-book arc. Shemer hopes to garner enough community awareness and support to start writing the second arc. 

As an avid gamer, a D&D dungeon master, and Navy veteran, Shemer has a wealth of life experience to draw on for his writing. His books always include elements of kingdom/settlement development where the protagonist is forced to carve out a new place for themselves in the face of adversity.

Shemer spends his days writing and his nights fighting crime (well, mostly convincing his kids to go to bed, which is very similar).

Shemer also enjoys writing about himself in the third-person and hopes you find his work enjoyable.

"One of the most thrilling writers working today. Miss him at your peril." - Blake Crouch, Wayward Pines

A near-future post-apocalyptic thriller series.

NEXT #1: AFTERBURN

Five years after a devastating solar storm wipes out civilization and spawns a strange race of mutants, Rachel Wheeler and her misfit family must choose whether to hide away or fight to join other survivors.

As their food supply dwindles inside their bunker, radiation from abandoned nuclear plants is altering the world around them. Not only are the mutants building their own cities and weapons, the remaining dregs of the U.S. military are massing for an attack. In this decaying environment, hostile new creatures crawl out from the crevices and up from the waterways to threaten them all.

But as a half-mutant, Rachel’s choice isn’t as simple as mere survival—the mutant way of life might be more promising than anything humans could hope to restore. And Rachel’s next decision could tear apart her family and the entire world.

August 31, 2015

I met a Plaguer today, one of the very few who survived the last outbreak of Bloody Death. She said horrible things about me and my companions. We all called her crazy afterward and claimed this was the reason they needed to be locked up. They spread lies that could hurt our fragile world, nearly brought to extinction 150 years ago. 


But here's the catch: she was right about me. I have a niggling fear that she was right about my friends, as well. What if the Plaguers are right about the people in charge? What if they are right about everything?


*This book is for all the Plaguers, the truth sayers branded and marked as liars, often hunted and sometimes forgotten. This book is for the girl who was right.

Donna Augustine was an odd child, had a brief moment of conformity in early adulthood and then decided to embrace her craziness as the years rolled by. It's her inner crazy that she credits with coming up with the ideas for her books. One part hypochondriac, a few dashes of paranoia, topped with a sliver of uptight and delivered with a relaxed flair, she kicked the proverbial box down the yellow brick road a couple years ago to embrace her true self.

She can be reached by a carrier pigeon, set free in a south by north direction, where she resides in Neverland with her two Siberian cats. Cats who, by the way, aren't as hypoallergenic as she believed they'd be.

For the conventional minded, and those of you without a pigeon on hand, she can be reached at donna@donnaaugustine.com. She responds to most emails within three dusk periods.

P.S. For those of you looking for the discarded box, it was sitting beside the road for a while but has since disappeared completely.

"Always surprises and always entertains." - Jonathan Maberry, Patient Zero

In a post-apocalyptic world, Rachel Wheeler is caught between who she is and who she's becoming. A bizarre mutation has her humanity hanging by a thread, especially when the Zaphead inside her wants to kill her friends and lover.

As the mutant Zapheads form a social order and shape a new world in the wake of catastrophic solar storms, the few remaining humans band together in a struggle for survival. But not everyone shares the same goal: a rogue military unit plans to attack the mutant settlement while Rachel’s group seeks a remote, peaceful life beyond their notice. And the Zapheads have a special role for her that could save the human race at the cost of her own identity.

Torn between two possible futures, will Rachel sacrifice herself to prevent the extinction of her kind?

Sixteen-year-old David Simmons is on a mission to save his eight-year-old sister. In a smoldering world infested with walking cadavers, the survivors of Simmons infantry reserve unit are going hatches down in a pair of armoured personnel carriers and everyone knows that it’s only a matter of time until their fuel runs dry.

There’s a weak short wave radio signal from a place called Sanctuary Base and it’s supposed to be zombie-free. But there’s more than a thousand miles to cover, a biting, unforgiving cold, armed survivalists, legions of the living dead and someone called SUNRAY.

This tense thriller for teens offers a terrifying and brutal vision of survival in a post-apocalyptic world where the bonds of friendship and family are the only things left that are worth fighting for.
