How long would you survive?
When the country is devastated by an EMP (electromagnetic pulse), Christopher and Gemma are in the city, hundreds of miles from home.
No power, no transport, no way to communicate with loved ones ....
As rumors run rife, and tensions rise, they quickly realize that if they want to see their families again, they are going to have to put aside their differences and try to get home any way they can.
The world will never be the same again ...
Tied together by the secrets of the past, the two set out for home, terrified of what the future holds, and questioning the line between right and wrong when it comes to survival.
Is it possible to come out on the other side, without losing sight of who you are?
Part romance, part apocalyptic fiction, Dark Days follows the events of an ordinary man and women as they make their way home in a world suddenly changed.
A story of love, survival, desperation, compassion, and loss: a story of never-ending hope
Please note: This book is part of an intended series, but it is a stand-alone novel (no cliffhanger, just a few unanswered questions).

In the blink of an eye an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) has the capability to send us back to the dark ages.
What would your life be like if the power failed? If there was no electricity, no gas, no phone, no internet, no television. Would you even know what had happened?
How long would the food in your cupboard - right now, at this exact moment - last? And what about water? Without power to pump it to your home, how long will you and your family survive?
Dark Days: The Long Road Home, follows the first week after an EMP as society begins to crumble and the reality of the dark days ahead begins to set in.
An EMP can be caused by a nuclear device being detonated high in the atmosphere, disabling all electronics in its line of sight, or by a solar storm like the one that occurred in 1859 when technology was still in its infancy. A more recent occurrence of a solar EMP is the one that shut down the Hydro-Quebec power grid that services Canada's Quebec province in 1989.
