"Get to the Mountain Place!" With those words, eight young people embark on a terrifying adventure to survive Doomsday.In the post-apocalyptic wreckage of their community, without food or transportation, their only hope of safety is to walk to a mountain cabin almost two hundred miles away. But the journeying under gray, radioactive skies brings these brave teens face to face with death and danger, deprivation and disease and worst of all: the realization that life will never be the same again. . Fifteen year old Liam Harper narrates this coming of age survival odyssey in this first book of The Doomsday Kids series. An exciting dystopian action and adventure, that features romance, action and adventure for a young and New Adult audience. Early praise for the Doomsday Kids: "This book is the bomb (terrible, ironic pun intended)!" "The characters were diverse and stretched across genders, ages, races, body types and personalities. I cared about every single one of them in their own way and I liked that they didn't all instantly get along. These kids bickered and argued like real kids. They were bonded, but not cliche besties." "I don't usually go for YA dystopian novels, but this book grabbed me from the first scene and kept me turning pages. I had to know what happened to these kids. Great, fast-paced story!"

Just as Henry got to his feet, he felt something he’d never felt before, fear!

CallawayAbout the Author:KJ Sheerin grew up on the outskirts of Geelong, (Australia) in the post W11 era. He didn’t start writing until late in life despite having nurtured the idea since youth with his writing now encompassing those times and close family ties. His early years were spent travelling around the Australian countryside, working in places as diverse as: the woolsheds, meatworks, car factories, fishing boats and mines of WA. He spent some years in the RAN, settling down afterwards and marrying briefly. Later working part-time as a cook and finally as a gardener from which he has now retired. His initial introduction into writing was by way of correspondence but he quickly realised that it lacked the personal interaction of tutor access and peer group of fellow writers, so he attended a series of college accredited adult education courses over the next two years, joining a local writing group and becoming active in it along the way. Ken draws on his early experiences when writing and coupled with a fertile imagination and library filled with facts and figures, they fuel his short stories of which he has many. Now he has graduated to fantasy and sci-fi and the much shorter verse, ballads and prose poetry, as in ‘Against all Odds,’ his book of verse.Most of his early works and collections were self published under the banner of ‘armchairpublishing’, his own creation, and now he is busily re-editing those and more to be e-published for a wider audience. ‘Myvanwy and the House of Dragon’ (YA fantasy) is the first to be re-launched in this way and will be followed by ‘Sideshow Alley’ (YA speculative fiction) and ‘Tula’ (adult speculative fiction) all of which have a number of stories planned for each of those series, with some already completed.As well as the novels above there are other shorter works encompassing his early years and family life, yet to be completed; a nostalgic look at growing up in the fifties and sixties in Australia.Now that he has retired Ken divides his time between fishing, gardening and writing.

They were there for different reasons: Vanya was hiding in the museum crowds to escape from fatigue and a sour mood, while Tasya had wandered away from her parents and gotten lost while collecting ideas for her album. The kids find that they have something in common: the ability to travel through time and space by gazing deeply and observantly into paintings. For them, the images become portals into a different reality, where they meet Rembrandt and his characters and also encounter the Queen of the Tulips.
