As the ground shook them off their feet, Peter and Ann could only cry as they knew their babies were living in Seattle. They knew it was being obliterated by the quake they were feeling. Nine minutes of hell waiting for it to stop.

For Peter and his wife, the world is no longer the comfortable and safe place it once was. Civilization has vanished. The infrastructure that made 21st century life possible is gone and Peter realizes that for humans to have any chance at survival, old skills must become common knowledge and old rivalries must be put aside

When The Fault Breaks is a post-apocalyptic novel predicated by the rupture of the Cascadia Fault. Based on the stories and lives of survivors of the Mega Quake, in a world of chaos and mayhem. It’s about one way some semblance of a normal life can happen; a mix of death and destruction, current social/political viewpoints, humor and hope. This is not your run of the mill dystopian book.


Preppers, survivalists, and homesteaders will find inspiration in When the Fault Breaks. And fans of such post-apocalyptic novels as Earth Abides and The Day of the Triffids will welcome this new book that focuses on hope and the possible.
