Bestselling Disaster & Apocalypse Author DJ Cooper

She lives in Biddeford, Maine, with a demon disguised as a cat! She loves to read and write post-apocalyptic and disaster fiction. It all started with the Dystopia series of books she released in late 2014, and she has been going strong since.

She also writes nonfiction prepper books and articles for her preparedness teams at Thrive Self-Reliance Initiative. That first title created a strong desire to learn more, leading her back to school, hoping to gain more perspective on the craft and the industry. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master of Science in Marketing. She spends her days now studying for her Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing with a concentration in teaching.

DJ’s favorite apocalyptic reads are The Road, Alas Babylon, One Second After, & the dystopian series Hunger Games. As an Apocalypse author, she hopes to find herself among these favorites for readers of all ages.

Intense action!

I love the premise of this series, that we are at any time only 9 meals from anarchy. DJ Cooper hooks us and keeps us on the edge of our seat! This focus on political fallout in an election season shows just how a nation split can effect even a smaller town. This is a story of men and women, friends, forced to find their inner strength and lift up each other when needed. I definitely recommend Terminus State and can’t wait for the next in the series to be released!

Terminus State: 9 Meals from Anarchy by D. J. Cooper
The setting for this story takes place outside of Keene, New Hampshire. Keene is a relatively small New England town with a population of approximately 23,000 and a long history. The site was settled in 1735.
The authoress, Ms. D. J. Cooper, does a good job of describing how quickly society can break down when the pillars of civilization collapse around the population. There is certainly ample historical evidence to support such a breakdown of society in a short time.
I enjoyed the novel and plan to read the sequel. The second novel needs to answer the question: (in Latin) Quo vadis?

Great

This has been quite the exciting story. While it is fiction it doesn't look too different from some of the things happening today. The characters are regular people trying to survive when things go terribly wrong. I am looking forward to seeing how it all comes out

Don't wait to fasten your seatbelt on this story! Set in times strikingly similar to today's, the reader is faced with pondering just how close we are to this happening in the not so distant future. Society may be changing right before our very eyes.

Chick book

This book is definitely for a more feminine female. Being being female I reading numerous apocalypse books this character tried and acted harsh at times but wanted everyone to treat her with kid gloves. Too many tears.
