This is a post-apocalyptic world. There are no zombies. No mutants. No roaming bands of scavengers and raiders. No precious resources to keep the world from totally crumbling.

This end of the world has peace.

Living by themselves in The City, The Man and The Woman explore their humanity as post hoc observers to the human race. Their day-to-day actions as survivors pit them against the physical dangers of The City and nature has to offer, as well as the numerous emotional and mental challenges that face them as a result of the mistakes of their long-forgotten ancestors and their own sins.

About the Author

My first real book series I got into was the Redwall series by Brian Jacques when I was in third grade. Which in hindsight was probably not a very age-appropriate series for a grade schooler to get into. For a series that’s about talking forest animals, it is remarkably violent.

But regardless, I fell in love with it. I eventually graduated from Redwall to The Wheel of Time series in middle school. It was middle school as well that I began to try my hand at writing. It...was a labor. And it still is for me, as I’m sure it is for plenty of others.But I enjoy the process, as frustrating as it is for me.

I never tried to publish anything until a few years ago, when I self-published on Amazon for an episodic series called Parse (something that I’ll get around to finishing one of these days).

How This City of Ours came to be

I have, what I think, kind of a weird process to how I decide what I write. Pretty rarely it’s because I’m caught up in an actual story idea. More often, it’s because I take a strong interest in a phrase. The phrase ’this city of ours’ came from the ending monologue from the show "Californication." I fell in love with the phrase and from there I worked it into a post-apocalyptic, Eden-esque novella.
