Summary

A fast-paced paranormal thriller where a gamer must navigate a real-world apocalypse, perfect for fans of HBO's The Last of Us and thrilling survival tales.

Something is wrong in Bunker, Illinois.

Nora Grace Moon thought her toughest challenge this semester would be managing her OCD, but when her deceased roommate turns up as a reanimated corpse, her world starts to collapse.

When her uncle sends her a cryptic message, Nora realizes it must be a call for help. She reaches out to fellow gamer Wesley for advice, a US Marshal with real-life skills for tactical survival, not just in-game. They venture out into a world that is growing more and more deadly by the moment—not only are the undead spreading, but other humans are taking advantage of the societal breakdown. And unknown to Nora and Wesley, they have been targeted by an ancient archeological society who will stop at nothing until they have what Nora has: an artifact that will unleash a new world order of the undead.

IRL is a paranormal thriller about leaving the online world and dealing with things "In Real Life."

Author Biography

E.A. Field lives in Chicago, and before deciding to write full-time, she tried to make her creative brain conform to a career in veterinary medicine. She directs the goat rodeo that is her home with her husband and a zoo of animals and children, which always includes rescue dogs. When she's not writing, she's painting, thinking up Cosplay ideas, reading, gaming, horseback riding, and honing apocalyptic life skills. She previously published the fantasy romance Blue Moon under the pen name Anne Bourne, and her short story—featuring a character from IRL—is included in the post-apocalyptic anthology Through the Aftermath.
