enough cocaine, he’d be a very rich and very happy man. For Max, it was easy wealth. With his good looks, no one ever told him no. He’d been Max Patterson, the golden child wherever he went.

He never expected to be arrested. He never expected to be sitting beside a court-appointed lawyer who’d seemed more focused on her next case than his. He never expected to have to listen to a list of charges with this trapped feeling growing bigger inside of him with every passing moment. He didn’t realize that he’d joined a pack that didn’t care about him, only what he could do for them. He remembered how he’d tried to give the detective a tentative smile and show her his soft side. He’d wanted to convince her that he was just a stupid man in the wrong place, wrong time. That he didn’t deserve to go to prison. He remembered how she’d glared at him and kept asking if he understood the trouble he was in right now.

He’d taken her deal. He’d rather spend less time in prison than sell half of his life to a gang full of high-stakes members who only saw him as a pawn that had gotten caught. But in doing so, he’d made terrible enemies. And friends of those enemies stalked the prison hallways with his name on their lips and handmade knives in their hands, prepared to make him suffer for singing.

He shut his eyes for a moment. Get ready for your welcome home surprise. That was what the man who’d attacked him when he’d first arrived had whispered. The words haunted Max. He knew he wouldn’t be able to survive in here for much longer. That wouldn’t be the first attack and he was just waiting for another one to come his way.

He looked back over his shoulder. The group that was playing basketball laughed when one of the inmates missed a shot. Beyond them, a smaller group of men seemed to be watching the players intently. Max knew better. He remembered how one of them had looked at him when Kathleen had visited. The way they sized him up before taking note of his sister and his niece. They now knew he had family. Family could be leveraged. Max stared back at them. Daring them. Trying to show he wasn’t scared, even though his hands continued to tremble.

They’re coming for you. Soon.

About Grace Hamilton

Grace Hamilton is the prepper pen-name for a bad-ass, survivalist momma-bear of four kids, and wife to a wonderful husband. After being stuck in a mountain cabin for six days following a flash flood, she decided she never wanted to feel so powerless or have to send her kids to bed hungry again. Now she lives the prepper lifestyle and knows that if SHTF or TEOTWAWKI happens, she’ll be ready to help protect and provide for her family.

Combine this survivalist mentality with a vivid imagination (as well as a slightly unhealthy day dreaming habit) and you get a prepper fiction author. Grace spends her days thinking about the worst possible survival situations that a person could be thrown into, then throwing her characters into these nightmares while trying to figure out "What SHOULD you do in this situation?"

You will find Grace on:

BLURB

The lights are out for good…

After an EMP knocked out power around the globe, Matthew Riley and his family are finding their way to survive while realization of their dangerous new reality sinks in. It was a struggle to reunite in the immediate aftermath, but the fallout from the dangerous journey may be even worse.

Other desperate souls are converging on any place that might offer hope, and the Rileys’ hotel in Galena, Illinois, is a prime target. With food running short and medicine almost out, the Rileys will need to find supplies. But they’re not the only ones looking.

While the family works together at the hotel, Matthew’s brother-in-law, Max, works to escape from prison to reunite with his family and the relative safety they offer. But dangerous enemies have their eyes on him and may put everyone at risk.

With resources running out, family is the only bond that can be counted on. But those bonds are strained and frayed as the tensions of the new world begin to pull them apart. How can one family survive when the world has turned upside down?
