Elise Swanson is a widow and mother to two fragile, beautiful girls. She fights with gun and knife against nail and claw, praying she can keep her little, broken family safe. She drives and drives, trying to escape a threat that seems... inescapable. Against all odds, Elise, her daughters, and their new companions, reach a safe zone. There's no rest for the weary though. Elise is drafted quickly into the heart of human resistance. Her knowledge may be the key to unlocking hope. What will happen when a Neural Engineer, a medical researcher, and a techie are humanity's best hope? The answer might be surprising. Wrapped up in all the uncertainty, violence, science-lingo, and beasties, readers will find a strange solution to a new Earth. And her name is Margaret. ------ Dead Trees is a classic dystopian, post-apocalyptic, Sci-Fi novel. It contains scenes of graphic violence, mild romantic elements, and some foul language.There is a plan in place for a sequel to Dead Trees.Reader Comments: "I must congratulate you on what looks to be a well crafted story. Well written, too. You have obviously put a lot of thought and effort into your writing and it shows." -John P."What a nice change from zombies, vampires, trolls, aliens and giant earthworms. Quadruped humanoids who eat their dead are certainly monstrous enough to qualify for the role of abomination bent on killing off humankind. Your protagonist, Elise, using the first person POV makes the narrative introspective and immediate- a sympathetic character worth cheering on from one impossible situtation to the next. The dialogue is to the point, even raw at times, but always true to character. Thank you so much for the intriguing read."-Ken E.L.
