Andrea, Lexie and Sarah are ordinary friends until the day the world goes dark and life becomes a battle. Andrea's upscale lifestyle didn't prepare her family for life without the grid. Lexie's homeschool farmstead is better off, but for how long? Sarah's urban apartment quickly becomes a death trap. Without technology and no help on the way, each teen and her family struggle to survive. As society goes deeper into anarchy and neighbors become foes, can they beat the odds and survive?

If you enjoyed One Second After, you'll love this gripping story of three teens and their families fighting for life, faith, and hope!

FROM THE AUTHOR
When my sweet historical romance series was published, I never dreamed my next would be YA/Apocalyptic. What a switch in genres! So, how did I go from one end of the writing spectrum to another? Blame it on an idea that refused to die. I read an article about how close the earth came to suffering a catastrophic electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, in 2012. We missed the worst effects of a solar flare by a hair (in space terms); but the “what if” factor had been set in motion. What if that flare hadn’t missed us? What if I was a teen raised on electronics–or an adult medically dependent on them–and it all went dead in a matter of seconds? What if the next flare doesn’t miss? PULSE, the first book in my PULSE EFFEX Series, was born. The books show life in the aftermath of the event and asks the questions: What does life look like without technology? With the world plunged into a dark age, can three teens and their families keep hope alive?

About this title

About the Author

L.R. (Linore Rose) Burkard is an award-winning author best known for Inspirational Regency Romance. Her first novel, Before the Season Ends, opened the genre for the CBA. How did she go from writing sweet historical romance to apocalyptic fiction? After learning how a solar flare came within a hair of hitting the earth in 2012, an event that might have caused a catastrophic EMP, she wondered, what would life be like if it had hit? Who would be ready for it? And who would be more devastated than today's young people, raised on electronics? The idea for Pulse was born, not only for entertainment, but as a cautionary tale. Raised in NYC, Linore is a magna cum laude English Lit. graduate of CUNY. She now lives in Ohio with her husband and five "mostly homeschooled" children, where she enjoys writing, art, movies, church, and teaching workshops for writers.
