The Plague has ravaged humanity in waves, mutating beyond every vaccine that\u2019s ever been administered. In a fallen society, Travis and Olivia love each other. However, strict social rules prevent them from being together. They must now overcome fears and anxieties left by the losses of their families and friends. A choice must be made, and consequences await.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

About a week ago, we announced a surprise release<\/a> of a new short story, Social Distancing<\/em>, on Smashwords. Tonight we’re happy to share that it just hit Amazon and is ready for your kindle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
