When a new virus surfaces and wipes out most of the human race, the few who are resistant flee the infected cities and retreat to the woods. Setting up small villages, the survivors begin a new life free from most of the modern technology they are accustomed to. Many years later, three mysterious strangers show up, one with an uncanny ability to predict storms. The villagers become dependent on their new Storm Keepers and rely on them to keep them safe. As more power is given to the Storm Keepers, the villagers follow them blindly. There is something that the Storm Keepers aren’t telling the villagers, though, something about the wind clouds that they don’t want the villagers to know. Will the villagers discover the Storm Keepers’ secret before it’s too late?

Sallie Cochren has always loved a good story and enjoys a variety of genres. She started writing short stories and skits as a child, thinking it was a great way to spend her free time. She always wanted to write a book, but her teaching career kept her so busy that there was rarely time to write. When she retired, she finally had time to focus on her writing and fulfill her lifelong dream of writing a novel. Since then, she has published many stories and novels in a variety of genres that include fantasy, science fiction, dystopian fiction, paranormal, animal fiction and others. When she isn’t writing, she enjoys watching movies, reading, going for walks in nature and listening to music. She is also an animal lover and has shared her life with both cats and dogs. Her Alien Cats series and Let the Purring Begin were inspired by pets that she had at various stages of her life.
this was a great short story, I hadn't read anything from Ms. Cochren before and was glad I was able to read this. It made me excited to read her short story collection. The book was so well done and I enjoyed the journey.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
