London, 2120. Frankie dreams of being promoted from undercover police officer to DNA-enhanced crime fighter. She just needs to complete one more mission to prove she’s got what it takes.
However, that new mission is to spy on a secret rebellion in a poverty zone – and Frankie has no idea what a poverty zone is, since nobody has ever escaped one.
Once she’s arrived in the Catford Zone, she realises the rumours barely do justice to the horror.
She must face the wild chaos of glitching brain implants and mutant insects, while the locals tell her it’s too dangerous to walk at ground level, but won’t tell her why.
Her boss won’t let her leave until she has completed the mission, even though Frankie is convinced there is nothing to investigate. The highly trained ‘rebels’ are just a group of hapless hippies and hysterics attempting to survive in the hellscape. As she uncovers their bizarre and tragic secrets, she is pulled deeper into the chaos and subterfuge and is unsure if she will ever escape.

About C.A. King, USA Today Bestselling Author I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche. Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time. To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger. People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years. I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you different. I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes – I want them to know they are making a difference. Fast forward to today… I am an award-winning & USA Today Bestselling Author with over 50 books available across multiple fantasy sub-genres. Awards include: 2020 USA Today Bestselling Author Hamilton Spectator Readers’ Choice Award in the Best Local Author category 2017 & 2018 & 2019 Brant News Readers’ Choice Award: Best Local Author 2017 Readers’ Favorite International Book Awards: Best Novella/Short Story 2017 Silver medal 2017 SIBA Awards – Best Novella 2017 SIBA Awards – Best New Adult 2018 Readers’ Favorite International Book Awards: Gold Medal in the Fiction – Supernatural genre 2018 Readers’ Favorite International Book Awards: Bronze Medal in the Fiction – New Adult genre 2019 Readers’ Favorite Gold Medal Winner in the Fiction – Supernatural genre 2019 Readers’ Favorite Gold Medal Winner in the Young Adult – Fantasy – Urban genre City of Brantford Featured Artist February 2020 Burlington Post Readers’ Choice Award in the Best Local Author Category 2020 Toronto Star Readers’ Choice Award in the Best Local Author Category 2020

My mother would never tell me who my dad was, but I found out anyway. In a town of only eight hundred people, most of them not in the right age range to be my dad, how hard was it going to be?
That was back before I started flying. I was obsessed with wondering who Daddy Dear was until random incidences of spontaneous levitation changed my perspective.
So…before I started flying, I thought the militia was just a bunch of assholes who were spreading rumors about magic to cover up their incompetence, but once I started flying, I saw things differently. Flying meant that magic was real, and therefore it was logical that magic was involved in the jail break and the congressman’s disappearance. And that meant I was not the only one who had magic. Someone else in my town had magic too.
This book is a dystopia/magical realism novel set in the near future. There’s some political satire, some swearing, some recreational drug use, some crime, but mostly it’s a story about trust, secrets, and love.

Seventeen-year-old Kella O’Malley is living through the apocalypse.
Maybe.
She’s definitely running from feral cannibals.
When a pandemic begins mutating humans into killers during her spring break in Georgia, Kella joins with a group of teens and twenty-somethings to carry precious CDC data north on the Appalachian Trail. With no cell phones and no clue how far the mutation spreads, their only hope is to stay ahead of the “Hyenas” and hike faster than the world can end.
If Buffy the Vampire Slayer had to save the world without superpowers, it would look a lot like this. But even while suffering from epic caffeine withdrawal, Kella is determined to protect her younger brother, keep from being eaten alive, and maybe even fall in love before the world definitely ends.
“The end times are not what you were expecting,” Kella writes in the shelter logbook along the way. “Be prepared for a lot of stomach growling. And a serious lack of condiments.”
“Also, take note: Cities overrun by feral human cannibals do not make for great spring break destinations. But on the bright side, it’s very unlikely now that boredom is what will kill you.”
“Falling in love is terrifying. It ranks somewhere between murder hornets and being eaten alive by Hyenas.”

All Derek ever wanted was to save the world, and when he joined the Resistance, he thought he would do just that. That is, until he met Julia. As Derek works to fulfill his duties, he finds himself gravitating toward the one thing he thinks may bring him the comfort he works to bring others… her. He is bound to his role, which is needed now more than ever before, but Derek fears he isn’t strong enough to resist her. Can he fall for her and still save the movement, or will the entire thing crumble beneath the pressure?
Julia had been through hell, and she had no plans to go back. Lies, manipulation, deceit… that was the way of this world, and she’d have no part of it. So when she finds herself drawn to the man who lifted her up and carried her out of her prison, she struggles against herself and him in a desperate attempt to stay safe. Love is danger, after all, and Julia would rather be dead than watch her past come to life a second time.
Can they find safety in each other and bring together the people around them, or will their falling for each other lead to the fall of the Resistance?

Set in a dystopic near future, Raven Woman’s Tavern is the story of a collection of survivalists who are squatting in the remains of a dead timber town in the Northwest. The residents—most of them old, sick, and in need—help each other by means legal and extralegal under the watchful eye of Rachel, the tavern keeper. When the peace of the community is disturbed by the sudden visit of four members of the local militia, the survivalists are frightened; not all of them are law-abiding and some are not citizens.
But, as Crazy Mary said to Charlie the Poet, “You don’t piss Rachel off. She’s got her ways.”

But when old acquaintances arrive with shocking news, they leave their safety behind as they try to learn the truth of why they were chosen, and what diabolical plans the scientific communities have designed, just for them…
