Steve’s Escape
Readers of the second book in the Out of Gas series, The Farm, will remember Mark’s brother, Steve, arriving with his family one morning after breakfast. Steve and Maria tell the members of the farm the hardships they faced in Corpus Christi as the city fell to ruins. They tell a tale of lost jobs, a major city closing its doors, a large gang war, and their flight by boat to safety.
Steve’s Escape is that tale. This 18,000 word short story retells the family’s plight and subsequent flight with an extra level of detail not found in The Farm.
Coming in Summer 2013
The Meltdown
The Turner’s have prepared for the financial meltdown they saw coming. The farm is stocked, populated with family and friends, and ready to support everyone in the upcoming times. The world has started melting down and the members of the farm and surrounding community are as prepared as they can be. Join the residents of the Madill, Oklahoma countryside as they try to hold their lives together while nations turn into dust and cities turn into nations. Read as they try to survive caught between two competing nation-states and the ex-soldiers who control them.
Will the people of the community and farm survive as independents or will they be swept up as serfs in the territorial conquests of the King of North Texas? Find out by reading the third book of the Out of Gas series: The Meltdown.
