    About this series

    After being saved miraculously from certain death, Bill heads north for Paso Robles where his brother's band of survivors were scattered by a violent gang of cowboys who control the town. Bill didn't want to go to Paso Robles. Bill had history there. A history he could never let go of.

     

    Basically, a history where a cowboy stole his girlfriend right from under Bill's feet and Bill could, and did, nothing about it. For years Bill lived in the shadow of the shame of it all. But could that cowboy still live there? Nah.

     

    Regardless, Bill heads to Paso Robles and after a night of heavy drinking wakes to find that his friends have vanished without a trace. His only clue to their whereabouts may lie with a migration of minimalist pilgrims, who travel to a castle where the Prophets Elijah and Enoch gather their followers for the Second Coming. With nothing really left to do, Bill heads to the castle and joins the cult, hoping to infiltrate their ranks and rescue his friends. There's only one hitch to Bill's plan: these prophets can call down fire from heaven.

      Bill is a just above average guy in a sea of the way above average people of Orange County, California. He's struggled his entire life to be somebody and he's done nothing but fall short. Stuck above the middle, but below the top, the fight for self-worth and approval has left him broken, tired, and painfully bored. His life is meaningless. That is, until a series of man-made, and nature induced calamities brings the apocalypse right to Bill's doorstep. Now, he is a lone gunman in a world absent of rules or morals, without the shackles of comparison, or the weight of anxiety. It's kill or be killed. Life is finally simple, and Bill, is finally happy. That is, until Bill becomes the reluctant leader of a band of misfit survivors who are putting a damper on his newfound coolness. With any luck they'll make it to his mom's in NorCal without getting shot.

      In a post-apocalyptic and seriously messed up West Coast, everybody seems to be good at getting killed besides Bill…despite how much wants to die. With his true love dead and his friends and family gone, Bill is left in the hands of men who want to keep him alive so they can keep almost killing him…inevitably bringing him back from the brink of death again and again. But something has always conspired to keep Bill alive, or so it would seem. Finding himself alone and alive, Bill sets out up the coast, towards his mom's house in Salinas, California. Reluctantly, he finds some new companions that he just can't shake. And, being close to Bill means you're in danger of getting dead sooner than later. A fact Bill knows all too well. If he could only just die too…
