As daunting as the end of the world, nuclear fallout, World War III, civil unrest, economic collapse, solar flares, EMP attacks, and other apocalyptic scenarios may be, society has always been interested in the “what if?” of a post-apocalyptic world. Jerry’s stories provide interesting and practical perspectives of heroes and villains navigating post-apocalyptic scenarios including everything from Mad Max-type of events to more relevant plotlines that seem as if they could have come from the headlines of the modern world.

When Larhonda Richards is kidnapped by a survivalist cult, her father hires Brady Collingsworth to find her. Brady is an experienced private detective and will not let anything stop him from bringing her home. Nothing, that is, except for her own wishes. When Brady finds her and realizes that she was no kidnapped at all but has joined a group of like-minded preppers to prepare for an apocalyptic weather event, his own mind starts to question whether or not he himself is prepared.

Sven Denali didn't ask for this. He was a prepper and that meant that he planned ahead. He never knew exactly when, or if, disaster would come, but he knew that to fail to plan meant he was planning to fail, so he did what he could, just in case. When nuclear war started, the world got crazier still, and he realized that even his own neighbors, if circumstances were right, would stop at nothing to save themselves. Now with his family missing and parts of two other families relying on him, he had choices to make.

Bethany and Gary had a lot in common. Both were independent-minded and self-sufficient. They were well aware of the dangers in the world and did what they could to be ready for anything, just in case. As the world spiraled out of control, it appeared their worst fears were coming true before their very eyes, just as they were beginning to fall in love and begin their lives together. When disaster struck, they would find their preparations and their love would be tested, but would their struggle to survive bring them closer together or tear them apart?

Neal Grant watched silently as the cemetery workers buried his family. It was just him now, alone, something he’d never been before. First, his parents and siblings had passed and then his wife and three wonderful children. All of them were gone forever now - all dead at the same time because of a drunk driver and a foggy road. Little did Neal know that this was only the beginning of things to come. Soon he would realize that he had not only lost his family, but must also deal with a failing economy and a nuclear war.

Darlene was a prepper. As she wrestled the polymer barrel onto its stand beside the other five, she thought to herself how a whole house cistern would have been so much better, but she hadn’t been able to get a variance to install one. The particular suburb she lived in was like that. Even with water shortages in the news almost every day, they wouldn’t let her, or anyone else, install a cistern. At least they didn’t deny her the barrels. Possibly because she hadn’t mentioned them to anyone. Darlene smiled as the thought crossed her mind.

Hank Smith was a prepper with a problem. He lived on a cul-de-sac, which was good. The bad part of it was it was on a hill, putting him in full view of the approach to the cul-de-sac and of most of his neighbors. Everyone in the neighborhood saw his large garden, his solar panels, his hand well, and the other items that indicated his ability to get by without much help from anyone else. Even though his neighbors thought Hank was a little nutty, they respected his right to live the way he wanted. However, when a world war breaks out, will they respect his right to his own property?

An unpretentious man lives humbly while his braggadocio neighbor buys the latest gadgets and status symbols. When hard times come, his humble lifestyle pays off, but his neighbors believe they are entitled to the resources he sacrificed to obtain. As society collapses around him, can John Havingsworth stick to his values and also keep his friends, not to mention his life?

Kevin Crain was tired. He’d lived a long, healthy, productive life. Part of Tom Brokaw’s “Greatest Generation”, he’d done his part in World War II, and then again in Korea. He matured during the Cold War. He’d seen a couple of the atomic bomb tests first hand, and knew the destruction that would come with all-out war.

The post-apocalyptic world that soon follows is a dangerous place, and they will have to learn new skills to survive. Her young son especially will need all the help he can get, and he finds an unexpected boost from a cowboy action shooter who planned ahead for the worst.

A man and his brother escape to a rural retreat when disaster strikes America.

When Horatio Billings returned from a trip, and first met Penny, she was sitting behind his receptionist/paralegal’s desk in his office. He had absolutely no idea why she was there instead of his girlfriend who was also his current receptionist/paralegal.
