2020 just doesn’t seem to be a good year. That might be just my opinion, but I bet a few of you agree. While I was outside taking a moment to just relax and chit chat with hubby, we got an alert that Clear Lake was being evacuated due to a vegetation fire. We are supposed to go camping there next week. It was the first camping trip of ours that hadn’t been canceled. (heavy sigh) REALLY 2020??!!! This is how you’re gonna be? FINE! At this point I am just going to start exercising. If I am going to be miserable, might just go ahead and do all the stuff I am not a fan of. Jogging, canceling vacations, eating right, doing all the laundry in the house because of the strong smell of smoke from the fire, and possibly dusting. Let’s just throw in there polishing silver by hand. I don’t have a silver to polish, but I am sure that can be arranged. I’m just going to sit in my dry riverbed again and just get away. Lets just pray I don’t find any more cat poop in my new plants.

FROM USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR DAN ALATORRE
Two detectives hunt a serial killer. The killer’s hunting them.
A lone trucker is ambushed, shot, and brutally stabbed. A tourist meets the same fate while out for a jog. Facing two crime scenes that could have come from a horror movie, Detectives Carly Sanderson and Sergio Martin search for a crazed serial killer. Five more attacks happen in a week, launching the entire city into a panic and causing the mayor to throw all of the city’s resources into stopping the rampage. But while the detectives work around the clock, they don’t know the killer has upped the game — by making them his next targets.

AfterLife (AfterLife Series Book 1)
by S. P. Cloward
Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy | Fantasy | Action & Adventure
FREE for a limited time
AfterLife, by S. P. Cloward, is the first in a series of books about the Mortui. Even those who hate Science Fiction love AfterLife, an action-packed, fast-paced thriller that crosses genres to grip the imaginations of readers from 16 to 60. Described as “believable fiction,” you will find yourself rooting for Wes and AfterLife.
Prior to recorded history, a small genetic mutation occurred that created this race now found among every civilization in every corner of the globe. Unrecognizable to the rest of mankind but dependent upon them for survival, this race is known as Mortui; those whose spirits do not sever from their bodies when they die. They are not zombies, but they are the source of all living dead legends.
“You living beings have an instinctual knowledge of our existence. Why do you think people are afraid to look into the eyes of strangers, or avoid the gazes of those they pass? It comes from an intuitive need to protect yourselves from us.”
At the time of his premature death, Wesley Lohmann discovers he belongs to this select group. “You aren’t a zombie. Zombies are bodies without a soul, and such a thing can’t really exist. Your soul still resides in your body; it’s just not a living body as you think of one.”
Wes joins in the impending conflict between two rival organizations; AfterLife, determined to co-exist symbiotically with humans, and The Atumra, a Mortui organization headed by Seth that focuses on the domination and subjection of the living.
“Seth remained in his seat, pleased by his successful hunt and reveling in the physical sensations he always felt when he was finished. His victim sat lifeless on the other side of the train and Seth knew it could be hours before anyone realized she was dead. He had looked into her soul and seen her hopes for a rich and full life, yet he had squashed her pathetic dreams and life without a second thought. The image of her body riding the train for hours caused him to smile. He had fed on her in public and not a single person in that car knew he had done it. He truly was the superior species – a Mortui, and thus, a god.”
As Wes struggles with new and past relationships and tries to find meaning for his continued existence, he discovers within himself the ability and heart to tip the balance in favor of those who want to deal harmoniously with mankind.
