Thank you for learning more about my writing background. I am a USA Today and New York Times bestselling author of post-apocalyptic thrillers. Think big-budget disaster films with likable heroes, edge-of-your-seat calamities, and realistic action (but not dark).
I like to explore what ordinary people will do when the training wheels of civilization fall off and everyone is suddenly riding through life completely on their own. I do this while keeping the stories on the lighter side, with humor and a little romance, while staying away from darker themes and violence common in other post-apocalyptic books. This formula has worked well for me the past 10 years, as I’ve written 50 books and amassed tens of thousands of great reviews.

I plan to write new books for a long time to come, but I’ve also discovered a passion for helping other writers find the same success I’ve been blessed to receive. If you are a struggling author or someone just getting started, I would love to talk about how I can help.
I live in St. Louis, Missouri with my wife, kids, and two little pups.
