With love always,
Your friend, Lisa xoxo
Staring up at the stars, Zanzi processed Lisa’s words. It hit her again, the loss of her friends, the mystery of her parents’ disappearance. The safe world she had thought she lived in had shattered, and now she was left to pick her way through the debris, trying to make sense of it.
END OF BOOK THREE.
THE STORY CONTINUES IN
SILENCE OF ASH.
Author’s Note
This series started as a seed of an idea while I traveled through Japan in October 2017. I had spent the morning hiking a pilgrim trail up Mount Koya near Osaka. When I reached the top, I was in awe of the breathtaking scenery. Mountains, lakes, trees and wildlife. It was simply serene. As I often do, I daydreamed, and I thought…what would happen if some apocalyptic event occurred and I survived, only to be trapped? How would I get home? Could I?
The more I thought about it, I knew I had to turn it into a story.
Also, as a teenager I was fascinated by stories of World War Two and the espionage that went on. The level of planning that went into D-Day. How mistakes, bluffs and double bluffs turned the tide of the war.
I wondered, could a secret group of powerful men and women bring about the apocalypse?
After taking all those ideas, the story grew into what you’ve just read.
I hope you enjoyed it and want to read more. I would be grateful if you would leave an honest review. I’m sure you’ve heard it before, but reviews really are an author’s bread and butter. They help in so many ways.
Thanks again,
Adrian
