Erupting Trouble

He'll get his ailing father home… Matthew Riley wants to believe people come together in times of struggle, but as chaos sets in after a massive EMP event, he discovers the only people he can trust are family. His father, an Army vet, has skills to survive this dark new world, but with no medication for his heart, keeping him alive may prove an impossible task. She'll protect her daughter and reunite her family… Kathleen Riley doesn't share her husband's optimistic view of humanity. When the power goes out during a visit to her brother in prison, she and her teenage daughter must find a way out before starting the long trek back to their family. They'll defend their home… With the rest of the Rileys away from home, it's up to Ruth and her grandson, Patton, to keep their hotel safe for the family they know is coming back. But food is running low, and some see an elderly woman and a preteen boy as easy pickings. In a broken civilization, there is strength in numbers. One family is determined to survive, but will they be able to defend themselves against desperate survivors? Great news! Erupting Trouble is even better than before - it was expanded & republished in February 2024!
