Book One of The PostPlague Trilogy
Control the Serum, Control the World
274 years after hatred, greed and corruption created the plagues that took down civilization, humanity has achieved utopia. The new religion, Reyism, has created a test to assign people their ideal jobs. It’s created an ideal government, the Temple, which generously provides all citizens with daily injections of serum to control the plague. They are all living ideal lives, or so preaches the Prophet, Neri’s husband.
It’s a lie.
Everybody in the Temple lies, especially High Priestess, Neri, whose survival depends upon it. Neri’s life is a balancing act between what she must do to stay alive and what she needs to do to keep her sanity. Challenging the benevolence of the Temple, or her husband, results in savage punishment or execution. Then she discovers that her best friend and an old flame are embroiled in a desperate scheme against the Temple. Joining them might mean true freedom, but it also means deceiving her sadistic husband, who has all the power—and all the serum—on his side.

Book Two of The PostPlague Trilogy
She needs redemption; she craves revenge.
After years of life balanced on the edge of a blade, Neri has her freedom, but the cost is almost too much to bear. The only way to retain her sanity is to forgive—Cas, Evan, even herself. Every effort she makes, though, seems to result in more deaths. Redemption is just another mirage.
Meanwhile Grayson has put the band of dissidents on the Temple’s Endangered Humans list. Enforcers and Inquisitors hunt for them in every corner of the nation, and their flight takes Neri further and further away from seeking revenge. Then, while pursuing information on what happened to Jarvis, the dissidents discover secrets that could open up a new front in their war. They urgently need to build an army, but to do that, they have to risk releasing the plague, and possibly start another apocalypse. . .

Book Three of The PostPlague Trilogy
A sadistic game of chess. . .
With the first battle in the revolution under its belt, the Children of Liberty are awash in raw materials, food, and thousands of potential soldiers, but the war is far from won. They have nowhere near enough serum to hold off the plague, Olympus lurks in the distant mountains, and traitors hide in their midst, threatening to tear them apart.
But Jarvis has a plan, both for Neri and for the nation. Grayson does too, and every move COL makes comes with a bloody countermove. While Jarvis tries to outmaneuver the Temple, Evan fights to win Neri’s love and keep her safe. She has no room for romance, though. Peace can only come with Grayson’s death, and Neri is determined that she will be his reckoning, even if it means she’s the final sacrifice on Grayson’s altar of blood. . . .
