Drought
First it was gold. Then they came for oil. But the reason they stayed was water.
At the turn of the century, Los Angeles found it continued growth threatened by lack of water. A shady deal known as "The Rape of the Valley" diverted the Owens River to the city, away from those who legally controlled the water rights. Drought is a look at a near future Los Angeles where this never occurred...
The times and circumstances may change, but corruption never does.

About the author
J.E. Mac
7 books30 followersJ.E. Mac worked as a screenwriter in Los Angeles. Now, he bludgeons his soul onto the page and sells it off pennies at a time.
Growing up in Southern California, people often asked him where he was from. Uh, Southern California. His answer was met with a look of disappointment. "Oh..." Apparently, no one is from Southern California.
In light of that response, he wanted to concoct a biography about how he was a lonesome hermit living in the wilderness of Alaska. His only company was a stiff glass of whisky, his hunting dog Conan, and a great white bear that was stalking him. (That's not a metaphor. Polar bears, man! Polar bears!) He also wanted to say he was a New York Times Bestselling author. But that's a pipe dream. Besides, he wanted to be himself.
At a young age he toured the world sailing. (Didn't you just say you aren't going to make up stories?) No, this is true. He grew up sailing out of Newport Harbor. His high school was Newport Harbor High School (You probably know it better as, "Hey! That's the school from The OC"). He competitively sailed and traveled to London and New Zealand.
So far, he has had an eclectic career. From inking comics for DC, to boom operating on Felicia Day's The Guild, to climbing masts of sailboats to install new rigging, it's obvious there's little he says, "No," to.
