In Book 1, Left for Dead, a disaster of unknown origin and proportions wipes out most modern technology, causing self-driving cars to drive into other cars, people and buildings. Cell phones burst into flames, the power grid self destructs, and planes fall from the sky. Book 2, Steps Back follows former prison inmate Asher Latham and his fellow survivors as they try to find a way back to their loved ones and protect the lives of those around them. Asher Latham had been serving a life-sentence for murder in the State Penitentiary when the disaster struck. He and several of his fellow prison inmates somehow managed to not only survive a gas attack meted out by rogue military soldiers intended to kill all the inmates housed in the State Penitentiary, but afterwards, when left for dead, they even managed to break free from their icy tomb. They made a pact to do no harm and to help one another as they journeyed home. Bethany Johnson and her new friend Cooper survived insurmountable odds the day of the event and have managed to gather her family and neighbors and his roommates in his house. Together, they make the most of Cooper and his roommates computer hacking skills, working to find out who caused such a deadly disaster. Preston Raymore and Melinda Bowman had been making their way around town searching for much needed supplies when they were attacked by a murderous lunatic, having survived the attack they find two of his victims alive but they need help.

In book 1 of the series, Left for Dead, during a record breaking polar vortex, snow storms inundated the South, leaving behind snow and ice more common to the Dakotas. An unknown enemy attacked the world, leaving society without modern technology. Without the internet, air travel, and few running vehicles of any kind, regional conflicts redefine modern warfare. Forces of darkness moved into the vacuum of power left in the wake of the global disaster, reeking havoc on an unsuspecting civilian populous. Book 4, Seeking Home picks up where book 3, Facing Darkness left off. Asher Latham, aka Polar Bear, and his small group of friends, who upon escaping their icy tomb inside the maximum security prison, swore an oath to keep a new moral code, have been working hard to reunite with their loved ones. They've managed to find several family members, but more are still missing. They've overcome seemingly insurmountable odds, fought and won against dark forces, who if left to their own devices, would turn the region into a tyrannical regime not seen since the dark ages. In book 3, they joined up with a group of church members hiding out inside Budcamp's RV dealership. Together, the new and much larger group have worked to salvage anything they might need from Nashville's largest mall, which sits under floodwaters. Armed men in a canoe have surprised one of their own, threatening his life. Will Asher and the others inside the mall come to his rescue in time? Will they find their still missing loved ones? Will they survive the winter?
