Edge of Madness
In a world without power, how far will one man go to save his son?
On the five-year anniversary of his wife Hannah’s disappearance, small-town cop Noah Sheridan takes his son Milo to a local ski resort to remember—and to try to heal. Then the impossible happens. Everything electronic dies. The power grid fails. Cars stall. Phones go dark. In an instant, their quiet holiday becomes a desperate fight to stay alive.
When a white-out blizzard slams Southwest Michigan, the town is cut off from the rest of civilization, and the rule of law swiftly collapses along with the power grid. The frigid cold sets in. Food supplies dwindles. Strangers turn threatening and neighbors choose sides.
Noah must make impossible choices, forge uneasy alliances, and face enemies unlike any he’s ever known. At the end of the world, he’ll have to risk everything to save his son and protect the home he loves.
Nature's wrath is dangerous. So are the desperate people willing to do anything to survive.

Kyla Stone
I spend my days writing apocalyptic and dystopian fiction novels. Because what's more fun than imagining the end of the world from the comfort of your couch?
I love writing stories exploring how ordinary people cope with extraordinary circumstances, especially situations where the normal comforts, conveniences, and rules are stripped away.
My favorite stories to read and write deal with characters struggling with inner demons who learn to face and overcome their fears, launching their transformation into the strong, brave warrior they were meant to become.
Some of my favorite books include The Road, The Passage, Hunger Games, and Ready Player One. My favorite movies are The Lord of the Rings and Gladiator. Give me a good story in any form, and I'm happy.
Oh, and add in a cool fall evening in front of a crackling fire, a book in one hand and a hot mocha latte in the other (or dark chocolate!): that's my heaven.
When I'm not writing, you can find me practicing at the range with my Springfield XDS or shopping for cool new gear for my bugout bag. You may find me hiking to a waterfall in the Smokies, traveling to far-flung locations, or jumping out of a plane (parachute included).
