Brianna’s mother glanced at her father and smiled. “We couldn’t be happier that you’re here.”
Fireball meowed and hopped out of the truck before scampering over and weaving through everyone’s legs. Madison looked around at all the happy faces and wiped at her eyes. There would be hard work, hot days, and cold nights, but together, they would make it.
They would turn this apocalypse into a new beginning.
Thank you for reading book three in the After the EMP series!

If you were hundreds of miles from home when the world ended, how would you protect your family?
Walter started his day like any other by boarding a commercial jet, ready to fly the first leg of his international journey. Halfway to Seattle, he witnesses the unthinkable: the total loss of power as far as he can see.
Hundreds of miles from home, he’ll do whatever it takes to get back to his wife and teenage daughter. Landing the plane is only the beginning.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Thank you for reading the beginning of the After the EMP saga. Although I hate to say goodbye to the Sloane family, new stories set in the same post-apocalyptic universe are coming soon.
Other characters are facing their own struggles in this new post-apocalyptic landscape and their stories are begging to be told. If you’ve read Darkness Falls, then you’ll have an idea of who might be coming next.
This series has been a joy and a struggle to write since the beginning and I couldn’t have done it without amazing readers and a supportive family. Writing about ordinary families thrust into an uncertain future paints my everyday life with my own family in a whole new light.
I hope I’ve entertained you on this journey. I’ll be back with all new After the EMP characters (and a few familiar faces) soon.
Until next time,
Harley
