Pulse: World Gone Dark

What you do when the whole world suddenly...stops?

Andrea, Lexie and Sarah are ordinary high school friends until the day the world goes dark. After an EMP shuts down the grid, life becomes a battle. Andrea's upscale lifestyle didn't prepare her family for the apocalypse. Lexie's homeschool farmstead is better off, but for how long? Sarah's urban apartment quickly becomes a death trap. Without technology and no help on the way, each teen and her family struggles to survive. As society goes deeper into anarchy and neighbors become foes, can they beat the odds and stay alive?

FROM THE AUTHOR

When my sweet historical romance series was published, I never dreamed my next would be YA/Apocalyptic. What a switch in genres! So, how did I go from one end of the writing spectrum to another? Blame it on an idea that refused to die. I read an article about how close the earth came to suffering a catastrophic electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, in 2012. We missed the worst effects of a solar flare by a hair (in space terms); but the "what if" factor had been set in motion. What if that flare hadn't missed us? What if I was a teen raised on electronics-or an adult medically dependent on them-and it all went dead in a matter of seconds? What if the next flare doesn't miss? PULSE, the first book in my PULSE EFFEX Series, was born. The books show life in the aftermath of the event and asks the questions: What does life look like without technology? Can faith make a difference in keeping three teens and their families alive when the world is plunged into a dark age?

BURKARD DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!

Excellent writing, pure and simple! Warning: Do not begin this series if you have urgent things to attend to, because you WILL have difficulty putting it down!
