Book blurb:
A deadly influenza virus rages out of control. There is no easy-fix vaccine. No eleventh-hour containment. Only death.
With no workforce, power plants are unmanned so there’s no means of communication; police and fire departments have collapsed so no one is safe; looters are scavenging everything from big-screen TVs to canned peas.
When Dr. Taeya Sanchez finds herself unceremoniously dismissed from an emergency medical facility in New York, she decides to steal the hospital’s armored van for a midnight escape.
Unfortunately, Rick DeAngelo, a driver for the hospital, has already stocked the van for his own getaway.
Thrown into an unfriendly alliance, these two must pick their way across the dangerous wasteland of America in search of a safe haven. And as the miles roll by, they discover that the living should be feared much more than the festering corpses out there.
After working for fifteen years as a cafeteria manager in an
elementary school, Marsha Cornelius turned in her non-skid shoes for a bathrobe
and slippers. She now works at home, writing novels, acting out scenes with her
cats, and occasionally running a Swiffer across dusty surfaces.
Like thousands of others, she thought she could write
romance, but soon discovered she was a dismal failure. She did increase her
repertoire of adjectives such as throbbing, pulsing, thrumming, vibrating,
hammering, pumping . . .
Her first novel, H10N1, is a thriller about a
flu pandemic gone awry, and her latest endeavor, The Ups and Downs of Being
Dead, tells the story of a man who chooses to have his body
cryonically-frozen rather than face death.
She resides in the countryside north of Atlanta with her husband. Her
two grown sons occasionally visit for clean laundry and a hot cooked meal.
