    But the plan is fraught with pitfalls:

    -A 'Mafia' god father, running Louisville, sees the move ending his lucrative lifestyle and will fight to protect it at all costs.

    -Meanwhile, in Alabama, a power hungry preacher believes he can broker a solution-and make himself rich in the process.

    -Finally, the leader of French Creek, Roger Makefield, finds himself trying to keep the peace between the warring factions-and to complicate matters, falls in love.

    An engrossing chronicle of power, greed, corruption and hope.

      ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Following a combination of natural disasters, in the space of just a few weeks, one-half of America plunges back into the Pioneer era. French Creek is a fast-paced thriller with numerous, unexpected twists and turns. Always at the back of your mind are the questions: how close are we to a collapse like this, caused by natural disasters-and how would we cope if they happened? (Spoiler alert: No zombies, no walking dead, no armed preppers always ready for when the SHTF. Just real characters facing life and death decisions). With no functioning economy, law or order, utilities, healthcare or food supplies, the population east of the Mississippi collapses into chaos. Half of America is now a devastated wasteland with millions fleeing to the west for a better life To protect themselves against this flood of refugees, states west of the Mississippi use the river as a security barrier, creating a 'Berlin Wall' that divides America. Five years after what became known as 'The Collapse', the small community of French Creek in Kentucky has adjusted to 19th-century living. They have survived the worst. Or so they thought. Until a group of strangers appear and begin disrupting their peaceful community. The strangers are on the hunt for people wanting to make the dangerous journey across the Mississippi to the West. Their arrival creates tension and dissent as some villagers find the offer to leave a tempting one. In the end a group decides to make the treacherous journey to Memphis and into the mercy of the murderous coyotes who promise to transport them across the river. But it's not as simple as that. As the story unfolds you'll meet characters, good and bad, some who make it to the end of the book-and some who don't!
