Abel – First they took the world. Then they came for mine. They took her, the brutal alien savages, and she was the last of the family I had left.Prepared to fight my way through Population to save her, I know what I'm up against. Ruthless human scavengers, violent gangs, and rogue aliens that are built for conquering and have a taste for human blood and flesh.When I come across a dying alien, I loot his corpse, the good little scavenger that I am. I don't expect him to come back from the dead, hunt me...or save my neck. And when he looks at me, I begin to think that he might be hungry for something else.He's my enemy for life and I have every intention of keeping my distance, until he offers me the one thing I can't turn down.He offers to help me get her back.Set in a post-apocalyptic Pacific Northwest, Population is an action-packed, alien invasion SciFi romance with heat and feel. At 95k words, this is a full-length romance with a cliffhanger that finds its happily ever after in book 2, Saltlands. In the meantime, prepare for a strong female lead (of color!) kicking butt alongside the possessive, alien alpha who wants her – not for a human soup, as Abel suspects, but for his queen. Readers should be warned that Population is a scary, dangerous place and that this book contains violent and bloody battle scenes.

Lawlessness, violence and desperation are all that is left of the world following the coming of the Others. Abel exists only within the boundaries that her rules allow - rules that she created to keep her alive. But when her best friend's daughter is taken by the Others, she can't keep playing by the rule book. Instead, she must begin a life defining journey that will test her survival techniques and bring all of her instincts into question. When she finds herself allied with one of the Others, Abel must confront foreign concepts like allegiance and desire and trust as he challenges her ability to find what she has always feared: hope. *This series is a science fiction romance and some violent and graphic content may not be suitable for young readers*

During World War II there was a serious housing shortage in Santa Monica, a sunny, laid-back beach city in southern California. In 1944,my family moved there from a small town in Rhode Island after my artist father, Eric Jones, was hired to paint and beautify the historic carousel which dwelled in a shabby, run-down building known as the Old Hippodrome. A small apartment above the carousel in this domed Byzantine styled structure would be my home for all my teenage years. The book is a collection of stories based on actual events from this postwar era from 1944-1951. The narrator of the stories is a young version of myself. My life changed as soon as I stepped on the sands of Muscle Beach and saw beautifully tanned young volleyball players, gymnasts, bodybuilders and surfers. I felt like a pallid newcomer from the backwoods in my regulation gym shorts and wondered if I would ever fit in. Within months I overcame my fear of the ocean and attempted the ancient Hawaiian sport of surfing. My teenage sister and I became members of the Manoa Surfboard Ballet. We went moonlight fishing for grunion; danced to the music of Spade Cooley's Western Swing Band; ran 'The Kiddie Rides', selling tickets and operating the rides by ourselves. I learned the secret to catching the brass ring when I worked as ' the ring girl'.Although, living on the Pier was not the best neighborhood, it was in the middle of all the excitement, contests and festivals during this postwar era. This book describes it well.
