WWIV - In The Beginning

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
-Albert Einstein
We know our world, our land and our oceans, will survive an apocalyptic event...
We can only hope the same can be said for our humanity.
What will we do when suddenly our power, our phones, and our cars don't work? What will we do when we realize our government is missing and we have no protection; no police, no national guard? What will we do when our food runs out or spoils, and fresh water becomes scarce? What will we do when we realize we are completely and undeniably on our own? What could possibly happen next?
What happens when IT happens?
Follow an ordinary man through the first 30 days of the ensuing uncertainty.

I write dystopian. It's dark, yet fun to play with.
WWIV - In The Beginning is my debut novel.
Trying to get this junk in my head, down on pages. Those pages become chapters. The chapters become a manuscript. The manuscript becomes a novel. Sounds easy enough.
I am an author and my pen name is e a lake. The e and the a mean nothing. So please just call me lake.
Not everything in dystopian writing has to be dark and dreary. I try to create post -apocalyptic situations that will challenge the reader to really believe that the events in my novels could happen.
The best part of my genre? Who needs antagonists when the landscape surrounding my protagonist is so bad. You just have to love this stuff.
My favorites are the usual list of suspects. Orwell, Bradbury, Stephen King, Vince Flynn, and James Patterson.
I'm not all that scary. Father to three, grandfather to three. Just a regular guy.
