Boyd Craven III

Faith, Family, and Fishing

Trapped. Attacked from all directions. Jordan Daniels felt the pressure long before the world ended. He was just trying to keep a promise to his late parents: live a good life, maintain the family cabin Up North. But peace was a luxury he couldn’t afford.

The cabin was meant to be his sanctuary, the place he pursued his love of fishing after his parents passed. Yet trouble found him relentlessly, tangling him in disputes with his ex-girlfriend, her family, and even his older and crankier neighbor.
Then the CME hits, and personal problems become trivial. The good news? He’s not alone. His new best friend, nine-week-old Shyla, is with him. A prepper by nature, Jordan thought he was ready for disaster.

He might not starve right away. But preparations mean nothing against the real threat. In the darkness and chaos, it’s the other people you need to fear.

Faith, Family, and Fishing

For Jordan Daniels, the promise to his late parents was a simple one: live a good life, especially to be happy and enjoy the family cabin Up North. Disputes with his ex-girlfriend, her family, and a cranky neighbor, Jordan’s personal problems seemed minor compared to the crippling CME that hit the world.

Suddenly, he is a prepper in a world of chaos, and his biggest fear is not starvation, but other people. With a new community of friends and family forming around his cabin, he must confront his own capacity for violence as they face down the harsh realities of a looming winter. He will be forced to make snap decisions to protect his friends and family, which he may regret later.

Along the way, Jordan is adopted by more strays, just not the four-legged kind. With death, anger, and old grudges boiling under the surface, Jordan has to embrace what he’s becoming to keep those he cares for safe… Or will he lose himself entirely to the anger, the depression, quite possibly his friends, his new family, and his very life? Of course, Shyla won’t let anything too horrible happen to them. Right?
