(This was written 2 Years BEFORE the *real* Covid-19 Pandemic!!) Justin and Emily, two young strangers on a hike in the Appalachian mountains, are suddenly immune to what has inexplicably wiped out the ENTIRE human race off Earth--a PANDEMIC much worse than the Bubonic Plague. Having lost everything and everyone they knew and held dear, they must now learn to cope with an empty world and with each other. They say 'Love Conquers All,' but are these two up to the impossibly daunting task of being the next Adam and Eve and starting all over again? Maybe they'll get it right this time, or maybe not. I am a retired Dentist and enjoy writing as a hobby─I write for the creative FUN of writing. Other hobbies include playing the clarinet, Soprano sax and Bongos, oil painting, photography, and graphite drawing. Story ideas may occur to me spontaneously, or just by looking at a picture when it evokes a story line in my mind, and I use it as a 'seed' to grow the story.I'm a 'romantic' at heart. Love runs deep in me, and have published several romances as a result (and usually fall in LOVE with my female protagonist) mixed in with some adventure stories, and stories for Young Adults.I have done a few things in my life to include, Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, Mountain Rappelling Instructor, clinical lab tech, read books on Sci and romances, and hold a license as a Ham Radio operator---all of which I assume, add to the repository from which I draw some of my story ideas. I grew up reading Mad Magazine which, I'm sure, affected (distorted?) my sense of humor as well as my perspective on life. I enjoy humor, and like to laugh.I'm am most assuredly an untrained amateur but nevertheless have published five small books on Amazon and twelve on Smashbooks.com under the name of R.H. Proenza if for nothing else but my ego. I live in Georgia with my wife Sandy, a computer or two, and no pets.
