In 1906, Alfred Henry Lewis, an American investigative journalist, lawyer, and newspaper editor, consumed by the effects of political corruption and mismanaged resources, posited, “…the only barrier between us and anarchy is the last nine meals we've had.”

A century later, society’s veneer forestalling chaos is even more delicate. The Refuge: Nine Meals from Anarchy offers a compelling look at what occurs when civilization’s facade
crumbles, revealing both nobility and darkness within ordinary people. When nine missed meals separate order from chaos, Jake Grayson learns that security relies not only on
supplies and solar panels but also on the resilience of the human spirit and the bravery of those around him.

As an engineered virus devastates America’s population, Jake’s preparations—once mocked by friends and family—become the crucial difference between life and death. As society unravels, Jake and those depending on him face brutal choices in a world where danger lurks around every corner. A perilous journey to the Ozarks and a battle against deadly marauders threaten their survival, while mounting tensions expose the fragile
equilibrium within their own walls.

When electrical grids crash and communication fails, Jake has no way to contact his
siblings. In Nashville, the lavish lifestyle of his older brother John is in ashes. With nothing left to lose, he and his wife set out on a desperate journey to reach Jake’s refuge. Meanwhile, Jake’s brother Michael faces the harsh reality of a collapsing government. As his military base struggles to maintain order, Michael must choose between duty and family.

As their struggle for survival becomes an unwelcome routine, Jake suppresses his feelings for Samantha to avoid disturbing the status quo. But their growing bond offers a glimmer of light amidst the darkness; can love grow when every day is a battle to survive?

The Refuge: Nine Meals from Anarchy was inspired by the questions: "Was the first time just a trial run? What if everything fell apart tomorrow? What can I do to prepare?"

Edward Lear's poem the Owl and the Pussycat saved Clayton Collins's life when he was six years old, and so Clayton believes a literary life is his destiny. He is desperate to follow Percy Bysshe Shelly and Edna St. Vincent Millay to early poetry glory. But his spreadsheet shows 212 rejections and not one acceptance for his poems. He is an awkward misfit, and his classmates scornfully call him "the poetry guy." Clayton is the poetry editor of his school's geeky literary magazine, and someone is anonymously sending him poems that are so good they rival Walt Whitman's. A once-in-a-generation poet is hiding. It's the great mystery of Clayton's young life, and he is determined to discover who the poet is. His fourteen-year-old sister Beth is a math prodigy who has skipped two grades. She is convinced that the lack of a girlfriend is the root of her brother's troubles. She introduces him to the horse whisperer Brook, to the aspiring magician Lily, and to the queen of the goths Lea. These dates are all disasters. Clayton's summer jobs are as a chicken sexer, a cotton candy vendor, and a bee-hive transporter. The jobs are one messy calamity after another. Another calamity may await Clayton: the dazzling cheerleader Edie Fleming wants something from him, and she is skilled at getting what she wants. And yet another: Beth has a secret she is desperate to keep hidden. The Diary of the Failed Poet Clayton Collins, Age 15 chronicles Clayton's quest to gain literary fame in his free-verse world. He is not defenseless: he has poet William Ernest Henley's "unconquerable soul." Readers who liked Junior's diary in The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie and Adrian Mole's diary in The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Age 13 ¾ by Sue Townsend would enjoy reading Clayton Collins' diary.

Ronnie sprinted back to the chopper. He dodged a leaping stalker and vaulted into the main cabin like a man who was outrunning death. The Blackhawk bucked as Nadia forced it off the ground. The nose rose, the tail dipped, and it hung there for a fraction of a second before defying gravity and lifting off. Ronnie was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when THUD….. A stalker made an eight-foot-high leap into the cabin. She clawed at the door frame and tumbled into the cabin. Ronnie rolled, grabbing for anything not bolted down. The stalker pounced. In a flurry of limbs, blood, and muscle, Ronnie took a gash to his forearm. He retaliated with a solid headbutt and a savage knee to the woman's abdomen. She rose to sit on her knees, then hissed with a mouthful of broken, jagged teeth. “Sorry lady!” He grunted and shifted his weight. “This is a one-way flight!” He twisted and kicked with everything he had. The heel of his boot slammed into her face. The stalker shrieked as it sailed out the door. The now fifty-foot vertical fall ended in a bone-shattering splat. Breathing raggedly, Ronnie collapsed against the cabin wall. Blood was trickling from the gash on his forehead and from his arm. He looked over his shoulder into the cockpit to see Nadia looking back at him. She tapped her ear and pointed at a headset. He grabbed it and slid it over his ears, then adjusted the boom mic. “Next time, tell your girlfriend we don’t do carry on!”
