Fueled by homemade coffee ice cream, a lifelong love of words, and armed with strong female (and male) characters I cross genres like the Ghostbusters crossed the streams in pursuit of the question. “What is the question?” you ask. The question is simple. It asks, “What would you do, if…” What would you do if you were fifteen years old and the world as you knew it fell apart? Would you run? Would you fight? Would you survive? – Meet Jess and her brother Chris in the War’s End series. What would you do if you had a chance to live your life over? Not just once, but twice? – Meet Dean Edmonds in Fate’s Highway What would you do if everyone you loved was lost to a terrible virus and you faced the real possibility of the extinction of the human race in the dark void of space? – Meet Daniel Medry in G581: The Departure What would you do if hitmen were after you and you had no idea why? – Meet Lila and Shane in Hired Gun If I don’t keep you turning pages late into the night, desperate to know what happens next, then I have failed at my job. I’m a Taurus and born in Missouri. That makes me bull-headed and stubborn to boot. I don’t believe in failure or mistakes, only learning opportunities and clever conversation. There’s not much I won’t do to make you burn the midnight oil reading my words while you suffer sleep-deprivation the following day. It’s my secret superpower. Born in flyover country, I’ve also lived in Arizona and northern California. I am an eclectic mix of snark and oddball humor. My colorful metaphors would make a fishwife blush. I’m an incompetent gardener, a dreamer and doer, in love with old houses and shooting pool, and chief organizer of all thing’s household and financial. Feed me tiramisu and I’m yours forever.

Reviews for War's End

[PATRYK Battle · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I began to wonder if one needs to get a permit to write a post apocalypse \ dystopian novel? I'm expecting that the only requirement for said permit is that the author must agree to create a character of pure evil and then describe at A certain amount of horrible atrocities. Ms Shuck managed to at least keep the of described evil at a level such that I was able to finish listening to the book. But then!!!!!!!1 Spoiler alert stop here if you don't want to get an intimation of some of the plot !!! had to go ahead and create a totally implausible situation whereby the heroic family is aware that there's a "raider' right nearby Whom they know has committed horrible crimes and yet our completely resourceful survivor heroin hands herself to him! Seriously I believe the author could have created a better confrontation a little bit more plausible.
Gets three stars because I was able to finish it and it distracted me while I did tedious work but just more pulp fiction. It's an Intriguing genre with incredible potential it's a shame it is so commonly ill served. Yes such monsters as are commonly created In this genre exist but were such apocalyptic events to oc cur it's far more likely that we will experience nuanced evil perpetrated by people who we have known (most likely not well) as decent or at least harmless neighbors and there will be a potential to inspire such people refuse the temptation of expedient evil and do what's right. I look forward to novels in this genre that explore that apect of the human story. Given the merciful relative paucity Of psychopaths in real life I guess I should be grateful for post apocalyptic \ dystopian authors ensuring that they all stay concentrated in their writings it' s much safer place for them to be for sure . Predictable but harmless.
