The Outbreak Responses


When the World Ends, the Heart Still Beats.

An interconnected standalone series that can be enjoyed individually but is best experienced read in order.

In a world where the undead prowl and humanity’s worst instincts take hold, survival isn’t just about staying alive. It’s about who’s worth fighting for.

A ragtag crew battles their way through the apocalypse armed with grit, wit, and a whole lot of heart. This interconnected series delivers dark humor, relentless action, and just the right amount of spice—proving love can spark even in the bleakest places.

Brace yourself for a wild ride filled with thrills, chills, and laugh-out-loud moments because outrunning zombies is tough, but dodging feelings? Even tougher.

    The Outbreak Responses Book 1

    Agent Lyla Matthews had two rules in the zombie apocalypse:

    1. Don’t get attached.
    2. Always aim for the head.

    She didn’t plan to adopt a snarky teen sidekick or lead a rescue mission against a group of power-hungry captors—but the end of the world doesn’t care about your five-year plan. Lyla’s not looking for love. She’s hunting a monster she’s been chasing for years—and she won’t stop until he’s dead.

    Enter Jacob: a roguish ex-fire chief with solid combat skills, a dangerously sharp tongue, and a heart that refuses to die quietly. When his people are taken by a ruthless faction, he’ll burn the world down to get them back—even if it means teaming up with a sassy, knife-wielding woman covered in zombie guts.

    They’ve both been surviving on their own terms. But together, they might just figure out how to start living again.

    For fans of pulse-pounding action, banter-filled slow burn, and spice amidst the apocalypse, Dating in Decay is a darkly funny, zombie-filled romp that will keep you laughing—and maybe gasping—until the very last page.

    Clair Rains has survived the end of the world, but some wounds don’t stop bleeding just because the world has bigger problems.

    After being left for dead by the man who was supposed to protect her, Clair is determined to become stronger for her daughter, her found family, and herself. She can shoot from a distance. She can patch a wound. She can keep moving when everything hurts. But up close, where survival gets messy and personal, doubt still has its claws in her.

    Leon has seen Clair’s strength since the beginning.

    Mute, guarded, and built like he was made to withstand the apocalypse, Leon has spent years watching Clair from a distance. Now that she and Poppy are part of his group, distance is no longer an option. He trains her. Protects her. Pushes her to see the woman she’s always been beneath the fear and scars.

    And the more Clair learns to fight back, the harder it becomes to ignore the heat growing between them.

    With fuel low, fast zombies closing in, and Chicago crawling with dangers far worse than the dead, the group is forced into a fight that will test every bond they’ve built. When Clair’s past comes back with teeth, she’ll have to decide once and for all what kind of woman she wants to be.

    Romancing in Rot is a darkly funny zombie apocalypse romance packed with pining, love letters, spice, bloody vengeance, and a happily-ever-after worth fighting for.

    Available on Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, select retailers, and right here in my shop.
