Coming in the summer of 2011, this post-apocalyptic urban fantasy novel is the first of three. Empty Cradle: The Untimely Death of Corey Sanderson introduces readers to a richly imagined vision of the future after a slow-motion cataclysm that puts an end to modern society.

Awesome!! The last thing I read of yours was part of a short story, I believe, concerning a girl having dinner in a restaurant with a date. I remember chuckling throughout the whole thing! You are a wonderful writer, and I look forward to reading this!

I wasn't kidding about the "next month" part; book went on sale July 31. Maybe some of you saw an awkward presentation at the recent APOC event...try to forget about that. But the book is available now: Go and find it here.

"Ivy Aniram can't afford to make stupid mistakes. A scavenger in a post-apocalyptic America where long-distance travel can be deadly to the few who attempt it, Ivy is a rare commodity--fertile woman untouched by the epidemic "Empty Cradle." When she's ambushed and nearly killed thanks to an offer of trust she shouldn't have extended, the villagers who save her demand a hefty price in return-a baby born of her womb. She may have tumbled out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Corey Sanderson, a farmboy who's eager to escape his bleak rural existence at all costs, proves to be Ivy's salvation. She agrees to take him on a treacherous 2,300-mile trek through hostile terrain to deliver a mysterious piece of cargo. For the injured Ivy to complete this nearly impossible task, she's got to trust Corey, but his youthful enthusiasm makes him both an asset and a liability in a world of scarce supplies, determined bandits, equipment-stealing gleaners, and mutated, half-human "biters." The other passengers Ivy takes on-a traveling historian with a mysterious past, a cheerfully abrasive mercenary and her deer-shapeshifter companion-add their own unique complications. Though she's the driver and travel-master, Ivy quickly learns that getting her cargo to its destination isn't going to happen without their help."

I've had it on my list, but forgot that it came out. I'll have to pick it up. Being one myself, I always support local area writers, especially in the scene (and especially if they, you know, sound talented and can write, which is a test you pass).

Thanks! :D
