    About this ebook

    This is a picture of the girl that once was, before the bomb went off and changed everything.

    After betrayal by her best friend, Faith MacIntyre starts a new blog, trying to turn the page to a brighter future. She makes war with terribly normal foes: an ex-boyfriend who broke her heart; a retail job in Christmas crowds; an intimate mistake with an old friend.

    She doesn't know that the end of the world is coming. She doesn't know about the fight for sanity and survival that will be thrust upon her.

    Soon, Faith will be wishing that boyfriends, customers and cash registers are all she has to worry about.

    Soon, this blog will be all she has left of her current life.

      The Apocalypse Blog Book 0 - Melanie Edmonds

      What others are saying about The Apocalypse Blog:

      A real page-turner... Post-apocalyptic stories usually focus on the horror and trauma, but [this one] also offers a look at how a person can reinvent themselves and their lives. It's a fascinating read.

      - Michael G. Stern

      I consider myself a connoisseur of post-apocalyptic literature and [this] work is some of the best I have ever read. [It] captures the despair and anguish of a post-apocalyptic world in a way few authors can.

      -Tony

      Zombies, post-nuclear urban wastelands, ragtag bunches of survivors trying their hands at survivalism... [this] story is pretty damned awesome in all three respects.

      -Typhoid
