I started this book several years ago. When I retired from teaching, I returned to it. Writing is such great fun.
I've had three distinct careers so far. Corporate, entrepreneurial, and teaching [which is a weird combination of the first two}. Teaching was the best.
Wonderful childhood, happy marriage, great kids, 12 beautiful grandchildren. So why do I write this book full of dark characters, dirty deeds, and end of the world calamities? Because I always loved post-apocalyptic books.
But when you look carefully, there are characters with deep thoughts and strong emotional ties. And brave rescues and stirring actions. And a memorable love story.

Quotes by Richard Cosme (?)

“Insulting my workmanship was not a way to get on my better side. Hurt feelings notwithstanding, I decided to take a look at the man with the big mouth and squeaky voice. I took a quick glance over the wall and pulled back to the shelter. Having ascertained that he didn’t have a bazooka aimed in my direction, I stood up and looked down at my tormentor, allowing myself the time for a better evaluation.”

“He heaved his massive bulk from the chair and approached Eric and Stevie. Towering over them, he began to talk, quietly and menacingly at first; then building to a scream and bellow, spittle flying from his mouth.”

“I think this little piss-ant trespassin’ on our land is one of them clan fellas, Pa. Look at them pants,” said the one directly to the old man’s right, confirming Stevie’s theory. A father and two sons. Or maybe two brothers and one son. The man was looking at Stevie’s army surplus pants, signature apparel for clan members.”
