A few words from the author:
"My pen will rake great bloody marks across your heart. My pen will shatter worlds and remake them in wild and pagan ways. My pen is a sword, a shield, a shelter, a euthanasia. My pen is violence personified and yet the safe-haven for those beneath its aegis. My pen is a series of detonations, following which is peace. My pen is the pen of a horror author.”

Her debut novel, Hellscape: The Fifth Horseman is the first of an epic new series set in a post-apocalyptic Tucson. The tale takes dystopian horror to extremes seldom seen, leaving readers hungry for more. Book 2 is currently in progress and promises even more thrills than the first.
Hellscape: The Fifth Horseman is available worldwide in ebook and paperback:
"Civilization's twilight approaches, with none aware of the impending peril. What if the savior of the human species was not Jewish, Christian or Muslim? What if he was not even a good man? Spanning decades, the tale of the life of Julian Andreas Würger carries him from child to man to monster to king, the subject of a bitter prophecy which he knows he cannot hope to evade. In him are commingled both hope and horror, truth and terror, and all that he touches is forever changed. Violence brings forth violence; how then can peace prevail, in this, the End of Days? St. John of Patmos wrote of a cycle's ending. Hellscape: the Fifth Horseman speaks of the final portent, of that which even St. John could not bear to write. For all that lives must one day die, and the hubris of mankind must be razed to its foundations for order to rise anew from chaos and fire."
