I hope you stick around for my next series. While Hannah and Liam’s story may be over, I’m not finished with the post-apocalyptic worlds that we all love. I can’t wait to create new characters, new journeys, and new end-of-the-world scenarios.
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to share this world with you.
Until next time, Kyla
Acknowledgments
As I finish up this wonderful series, I want to give heartfelt thanks to the behind-the-scenes readers who give early feedback on the raw manuscript.
To my fabulous BETA readers: Fred Oelrich, Lauren Mae Nikkel, Melva Metivier, Wmh Cheryl, Jim Strawn, Sally Shupe, Jenny Avery, Jose Jaime Reynoso, Randy Hasting, Vanessa Mccutcheon, Elaine Bak, and Courtnee McGrew. Your thoughtful critiques and enthusiasm are invaluable.
To Michelle Browne for her line editing skills. Thank you to Joanna Niederer and Annette King for proofreading.
Special thanks to David Kepford for his technical support and excellent advice regarding all things military. It was a blast emailing questions and answers back and forth. I appreciate your patience!
Once again, a heartfelt thank you to George Hall, a real life Special Forces hero who helps me bring the character of Liam to life. Liam would not be who he is without George.
Any errors are my own.
Thank you to our armed forces who put their lives on the line to keep us safe and protect freedom around the world.
To my husband, who takes care of the house, the kids, and the cooking when I’m under the gun with a writing deadline. To my kids, who show me the true meaning of love every day and continually inspire me.
Thanks to God for His many blessings. He is with us even in the darkest times.
And to my loyal readers, whose support and encouragement mean everything to me. Thank you.

About the Author
I spend my days writing apocalyptic and dystopian fiction novels, exploring all the different ways the world might end.
I love writing stories exploring how ordinary people cope with extraordinary circumstances, especially situations where the normal comforts, conveniences, and rules are stripped away.
My favorite stories to read and write deal with characters struggling with inner demons who learn to face and overcome their fears, launching their transformation into the strong, brave warrior they were meant to become.
Some of my favorite books include The Road, The Passage, Hunger Games, and Ready Player One. My favorite movies are The Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Give me a good story in any form and I’m happy.
Oh, and add in a cool fall evening in front of a crackling fire, nestled on the couch with a fuzzy blanket, a book in one hand and a hot mocha latte in the other （or dark chocolate!）： that’s my heaven.

Nuclear Dawn Preview
Dakota Sloane was no stranger to hardship. A born survivor, she’d spent her life waiting for the next calamity, the next disappointment, the next strike from a world intent on breaking her.
But Dakota didn’t break.
She felt close now, though. Her chest tightened as she scanned the street outside the window of the Beer Shack Bar.
A damp rag in one hand, she froze, bent over a yellow table strewn with crumpled napkins and a greasy, half-eaten lunch of twist fries, burgers, and globs of ketchup.
