It is five years since the zombie apocalypse swept the across the world. The remnants of humanity struggle to survive against Red-Eye, man-eating monsters that hide among the ruins of civilization.
The survivors of Cannon Fields live behind their high iron fences and sturdy gate growing food, raising their children, and try to keep out the horrors of the outside world - living and dead. They hope for a day when fences and gates aren't needed anymore and someone puts the world back together.
During a trade mission, John Linder and his best friend Claire, cross paths with a stranger on a noisy motorcycle. He proposes an exchange - vital medicine for help in getting his friends to safety. The trip will be risky. The stranger's friends are hiding with a zombie-infested city at their backs and groups of desperate survivors all around them.
John, and the leadership of Cannon Fields, must decide to risk the residents lives and resources to help some strangers back to their fenced-in home. They must make a decision quickly. Time is running out, and the Red-Eyes are circling.
I was always an avid reader. A couple of years ago, I started fooling around with tablets and smartphones and my consumption of books started to skyrocket!
For some reason, I gravitated to dystopian and post-apocalyptic writing. Strangely, I found reading about the end of the world interesting. I guess it all started with "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy-easily the toughest novel I had read up to that time. Somewhere between reading it and other books about the apocalypse, "Sometimes We Ran" was born.
I currently reside in Woodstock in the great state of Georgia. I have been working for the last fifteen years as a CAD operator drawing permits and mapping utilities. When I'm not working, (or trying to write coherent sentences) you can find me taking care of my two aging Pontiac Firebirds.
