#Dystopian Novel Released

Dystopian novels are set in an imagined world or society in the future after something terrible has happened such as war or environmental collapse. A dystopian society is characterized by human suffering and misery where people live in an unfair society where they are often dehumanized and lead fearful existences. At some point the oppressed rebel and try to gain control of their lives.

I’ve written in the dystopian genre before, but The Beartooth Chronicles is my first series, and I’ve approached the topic somewhat differently than my other novel where teens were trying to escape an oppressive American government (Deadly Exodus).

In The Beartooth Chronicles, a group of individuals left society decades before the world’s environmental crisis reached a tipping point, and the U.S. was still moderately functional. They built a sustainable society on a remote mountaintop that became cut off from the rest of the country after earthquakes, flooding, erosion, and tectonic shifting destroyed the roads and bridges accessing the community. For decades, they lived a peaceful, happy life, but as environmental disasters continued to multiply, bringing out the worst of humanity, their ability to survive is tested.

I hope you will join Ash and Caleb as they embrace many new challenges while trying to find solutions to a rapidly changing environment and deteriorating world. As the country descents into chaos, Ash, Caleb, and the rest of Beartooth’s residents realize that returning to their lives below the mountain is not an option.
