Event #1
Extinction
Introducing Lisa Cooke’s thrilling new dystopian young adult series. When ten high school students and their teacher emerge from a day of cave exploration gone horribly wrong, they find themselves fighting for their survival in a post-apocalyptic world they could never have imagined.
It should have been like any other senior field trip. Every year, the week before Thanksgiving, high school science teacher Jill Stevens takes her senior geology students exploring in Kentucky’s Brighton Caverns, in spite of her borderline claustrophobia.
But this year isn’t like the others. When all the cavern’s lights suddenly go out, Jill finds herself disoriented, lost in the inky blackness. Her students’ safety—their lives—depend on her. She has to find a way to get the ten young people out of the caverns, while, one by one, their few remaining sources of light wink out.
What’s worse than being trapped underground in the never-ending night of the caves? Emerging into a cold, silent world where every living creature has suddenly—cataclysmically—disappeared.
Except for them and whatever caused THE EVENT.
What happened to all the birds and animals? The people? Their families? Worse yet, could it happen again?

About the author
Lisa Cooke
23 books17 followersI started writing fiction at the age of forty-five. It wasn’t easy for me since my formal training is in science education. Lab reports are written very differently than novels or at least they’re supposed to be, though some of my students never fully understood that concept.
I made it my goal to be published by the time I retired from teaching. It took a lot of work and dedication, but four weeks after I taught my last day in the high school, I received “the call” from Leah Hultenschmidt of Dorchester Publishing. An extremely exciting day, that was. My agent took over the negotiations while I spent a great deal of time squealing.
Always having had a love for all things historical, it seemed only fitting that I fell into that genre. So now I write in my two- story Victorian home on our seventy- acre farm in Ohio. I have a Maltese who provides literary critique and a husband who provides inspiration. Each of my heroes has some part of my husband’s personality, which may be why I love them so much. I have two grown children, both of whom have made me very proud, and I have a new grand daughter who shares my rocking chair with me.
It’s tough duty, but someone has to do it.

Great Young Adult Adventure
Another intriguing story from Ms Cooke. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this series. Whether romance, mystery or adventure, Ms Cooke always delivers a good read.
