I want to introduce the 'better lands' dystopian drama series! It is targeted to be a 5 books series. Currently, the first 3 are in print, kindle, & audio.
But first, a little about me.
I'm Susan Clawson, the Author (and now one of the Producers of the upcoming TV series), and am excited for you to begin the journey! I am a true New Englander who grew up in northern Vermont. I went to a high school that was referred to as "cow valley high" since it was in the midst of farmlands. Believe me, cows surrounded it! The college I attend was nestled in the foothills of the green mountain state, with no bright light and glitz surrounding it. That was back in the days of no cell phones and the internet, but believe me, we found enough things to do that kept life interesting!
I started writing poetry and short stories during those times, basically for my eyes only, well some friends and family were privies to it as well. For nostalgic reasons, I wish I could reread it all again, but the material is long lost from my many moves before I settled, married, and had 3 children.
During the years of single motherhood, I wrote and published the start of a sci-fi 'time travel' trilogy which I never completed as life sent me in a different direction. Years later, and still amazed it happened, I reconnected with my first high school sweetheart on classmates.com, and we eventually married and moved to Massachusetts. With all the kids grown and out of the house, I had the urge to write again. Due to the pandemic restrictions, what a great timeless topic to pick but a current one that everyone could relate to, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
So check these out (all are 2nd editions):
The 'better lands' book series - Now in pre-production for a TV series
'better lands' is being compared to The Walking Dead - without the Zombies, The Game of Thrones, and Stranger Things. It has a bit of Sons of Anarchy, Outlander, and the Vikings flavor.
Now's the time to grab the first 3 books, sit back, relax, and join Rosa, Jean-Pierre, Blitz, and hundreds of others who survived a 4-year pandemic that wiped out over 2/3 of the world’s breathing population as they embark on a 45-day tempestuous foot-journey from Vermont to Kentucky searching for virus-free lands. What's it like to lose it all (home, job, family, technology, transportation), to live in tent communities, and be among those who would have never been chosen to be a friend, if not for the situation?
Join the survivors as they trudge through the wilderness and encounter new relationships involving romance, controversies, violence, and even death. Who will survive and reach the better lands? What is in store for them once they arrive? Will it be a life of happily ever after, or more turmoil?
Book 1 - 'better lands - THE DISCOVERIES' follows 4 teams of survivors from Burlington, VT through Fort Drum, NY.
Book 2 – ‘better lands – The Southbound Journey’ follows the teams head through Ashland, Cleveland, & Cincinnati, Ohio
Book 3 – ‘better lands – THE ARRIVAL’ follows the teams through Fort Knox Army base in KY to the better lands on the Kentucky inland peninsula.
Books 4 & 5 - TBD
I hope that you enjoy this tempestuous journey to the ‘better lands’.
