Pair 2, Book 1: Tales
Pair 2, Book 2: Mines
Time: 200 and 210 years in the future
POV characters: Zella, Tanna, Ambrena, Rusty, and Corandra
Klapit is failing. Travel barred beyond it. New rules limit daily life. Zella dreams of the peace of her childhood. Tensions rise as the villas are turned away from Klapit, rather than stay and dig among the remainders of their ancestors. She must fight an ancient evil, so long forgotten, it only exists in the tales told round the campfire.
Klapit is long empty. The new Shelpit, not quite a gen old, is now nearly empty. Metal for tools almost gone. Scraps are all that are left. Rusty and Ambrena struggle to find their place in Shells. A community they feel doesn't want them. Corandra knows they don't want her. Everything she touches crumbles. The box she found spreads a devastating illness. She abandons her villa for a cure.
Author's Note:
Rating: R.
Profanity: None.
Romance: Light, Alluded to.
Sex: Acknowledged. Violent acts acknowledged as well.
Violence: Threat of violence. Fear of violence. Earthquakes. Male violence against women and society. Very much a slow moving war.

About the author
April D. Brown
23 books46 followersApril D Brown's fascination with history, science, and social science led her on a quest to uncover forgotten societal mythology, which often masquerades as fact. New solutions to old queries will be uncovered in the future, through studies of the past. Her novels and novellas, while adventures, are written in a more clean and classical style, without extreme action, romance, or violence. Characters think before they act. Sometimes, this leads to trouble.
Her nonfiction is often written at the request of others.
Gluten (and allergy) free cookbooks, include tips for tricks for people with multiple common disabilities, including poor memory, low vision, and limited dexterity.
Journey Through Life Lists was written at the request of friends with serious memory loss planning their future, and desperate to remember their past.
VoiceOver with the Brailliant Braille Display was designed for personal use, when there was no written manual for learning to use a screen reader for the first time as a middle-aged adult.
The clear path April D Brown dreamed of as a child had roadblocks no one could foresee. Of those, the loss of memory caused far more concern, than the loss of hearing and vision.
Deafblind and doing fine, most of the time.
After all, vision, and hearing, can be internal, as well as external. With the help of her husband, cats, and dogs, she wanders along the path that unfolds slowly before her stumbling feet. The one path she tried to push away as a teen.
Writing doesn't come as easy now, as then. Though, it seems far more impactful. Full of hidden vision, wonder, and forgotten sounds and odors.
