Synopsis
Almost
six years since an unknown event plunged the world into darkness,
humanity continues to crumble. Times have worsened as the remaining
fuel and valuable resources – fresh food and water – are long
gone. Chances of recovery have all but disappeared; chances of
survival seem grim.
In
a plan so backward, so unlikely to have any success, the militia of
the Milwaukee area take a young nun, five teens, and a set of five
“special packages” into the barren farmland of south-central
Wisconsin. There, with little more than themselves for support, they
are to live, to grow, and perhaps even prosper. Or maybe the militia
has just removed a problem they chose not to deal with.
With
the help of new – yet strange – friends, their journey begins.
But trouble finds them, even against their greatest hopes and fervent
prayers. Worse, the militia has purchased help from a drunken recluse
who may prove to be their greatest trouble of all.
The
second book of our greatest war, our battle for survival, begins:
WWIV – Kids at War.

The
Author
I
write dystopian. It's dark, yet fun to play with.
WWIV - In
The Beginning is my debut novel.
Trying to get this junk in my
head, down on pages. Those pages become chapters. The chapters become
a manuscript. The manuscript becomes a novel. Sounds easy enough.
I
am an author and my pen name is e a lake. The e and the a mean
nothing. So please just call me lake.
Not everything in
dystopian writing has to be dark and dreary. I try to create post
-apocalyptic situations that will challenge the reader to really
believe that the events in my novels could happen.
The best
part of my genre? Who needs antagonists when the landscape
surrounding my protagonist is so bad. You just have to love this
stuff.
My favorites are the usual list of suspects. Orwell,
Bradbury, Stephen King, Vince Flynn, and James Patterson.
I'm
not all that scary. Father to three, grandfather to two (three in
April 2014). Just a regular guy.
