Stonemont #5
The Blessings of Freedom: Book 5 of the Stonemont Series
As the world continues to rebuild after the collapse, groups across the country are coming together to form new communities. Some just want to survive. Some want to build a better place in which to live than the one that is now gone. And some want to conquer and enslave others in order to expand their own fledgling empires. In this evolving mix, Stonemont and their allies must navigate the ever-changing dynamics of friends and enemies - and attempt to build a new place in the world where people can live free.

I have always considered myself a creative zany person, expressing my idea's through writing and art. This led me on a journey to release my first ever self-published book late September 2016. The Dragon's Reclaim series is set to be an 8-part Fantasy saga, and as I edge closer to the series end, I know that new chapters will open out for me to create a diverse range of e-books and paperbacks in the years to come.
I find myself fascinated by dragons and all thing's fantasy fiction, so, was only a matter of time before I wrote my own idea's down.
As time passed by my ideas were combined, thus creating a whole world for my character's to live in, and soon I had an entire saga spinning round in my head.
I continue to tell my fairy tale adventure, and each and every day I become more and more inspired as the adventure grows.
More recently I have delved into publishing a Crime Novel, and a double-header Fantasy set of books, which are ten times more brutal and hard-hitting than any of my previous works. (18+)
Future works will include sequels to the above, and of course the conclusion of Dragon's Reclaim. Not to mention some other fantasy genre's including Vampires, Werewolves & Zombies. Stay tuned.

Very good series
I read this entire series, and learned a lot. Very well written! This is believable and informative. Both military and EOTWAWKI should like it. Homesteading at it's best.
Strong well developed characters.

Another excellent book
With the continuing saga of Stonemont, the group makes some new inroads with the neighboring towns, counties and states. This book is amazing.

Another good book in the Stonemont Series. Unlike most dystopian prepper fiction, the Stonemont series has a positive and constructive outlook.
