About the author

Devon C. Ford

80 books430 followers
Devon is from the UK, having lived in many places until finally settling in the Midlands. His career in public services started in his teens and has provided a wealth of experiences, both good and some very bad, which form the basis of the book ideas that cause regular insomnia.

He first started reading for fun as an adult, having tried his hardest to avoid anything resembling academia growing up, and at that point the world became a far bigger place. He has been reading, at least one book at a time, ever since.

His debut works, the After It Happened series, (Survival, Humanity, Society) were published in April 2016 followed by Hope (July 2016) and Sanctuary (December 2016). The first part of the series concluded with the release of Rebellion which was published in June 2017.

Storming high into the charts with the first books of the After It Happened series, Devon launched into the top 10 sellers listings in the UK, Australia, Canada and the US, and he made the decision to write full time shortly after the launch of Hope.

Devon’s self-published beginnings caused a stir in the publishing world, and resulted in contracts with Podium Publishing for Audible, narrated by R.C. Bray (The Martian, Expeditionary Force, Arisen), before a publishing deal for kindle and paperbacks with Vulpine Press.

Further works have seen the start of a multi-author series, sci-fi/post-apocalyptic cross genre, futuristic dystopian and alternative history zombie apocalypse. Spin-off books from the After It Happened world have been announced for 2018.

Not sure how it didnt get to me with the first book but... The Male MC is an asshole. A fully aware, willful asshole. Least its written as if he knows in the moment he is being a selfish, petty asshole.... and just refuses not to be... Or maybe has some sort of disability that makes him unable to change his behavior despite being fully aware of it? Either way I am sick of spending time with the guy. Done with this book.

4.75/5 - audiobook

Devon C Ford’s writing continues to refine into vivid worlds, funny but meaningful characters, and well developed plots. This second installment in the Wasteland series surpasses the first, which was already a hit for me. Couple this with RC Bray’s passionate narration and you get an immersive experience that few books can pull off.

I wish this guy weren't so obsessed with scatalogical humor.

But you gotta love Quinn, the main character here. He's sure gotten himself into a boatload of trouble in the old/new West. I appreciate the way Ford, a Brit, navigates his way through the American West with ease. And of course R. C. Bray makes it fantastic.
