The After Days

Beschreibung

In a world without power, you need the power of friendship and love to survive. Middle-aged suburbanites Rachel and Zach team with their friends to battle not only the predators and scavengers who lurk around every corner but also empty pantries, boredom, despair … and sometimes each other. How far are they willing to go to survive the Big Blackout? This gripping dystopian twist on contemporary fiction about a woman who must find within herself the strength and ingenuity to endure a world suddenly without electricity is both terrifyingly real and astonishingly tender. Perfect for book clubs, The After Days explores the ethical quandaries and logistical problems of ordinary suburbanites – people whose most recent problems were dodgy Wi-Fi and cranky bosses – in their struggle to survive in the increasingly treacherous suburbs of Washington, DC. "This is far and away the most compelling read I’ve experienced in a long time. No lie. This is seriously good. It’s fresh, entertaining, and thought-provoking." –Kathryn Johnson, author and writing teacher "I was drawn in immediately and swept away by the story. A real page-turner" –Pamela Gates, literary festival organizer

Autor

As a writer, I love to explore dystopian events through the perspective of ordinary people. I'm dedicated to giving my readers terrifyingly real, astonishingly tender, gripping stories that combine book club and dystopian fiction. After graduating from Syracuse University with a B.A. in Public Relations and Psychology and backpacking around the globe, I earned a master's degree from the University of Maryland while working and raising two amazing kids. Recently, I participated in the Algonkian Writer Retreat and Novel Workshop. In my day job, I own a consulting firm, The AG Group, through which I help nonprofits and businesses use communication and marketing to showcase what makes them extraordinary. I have more than three decades of experience leading, marketing, and raising funds for nonprofit organizations. I also serve as the executive director of Friends of White Flint, a nonprofit organization working to transform the White Flint/Pike District area into a walkable, transit-oriented, vibrant community. When I'm not obsessing over The After Days, I golf, bake, swing dance, spoil my granddaughter, think about working out, and read. Splitting my time between North Bethesda, MD and Bethany Beach, DE, I love laughing with my friends and family, all of whom have been incredibly supportive of my writing.
