LIBERTY EXCERPT
Journal Entry – November
It’s been weeks since the new Ice Age began, the landscape a sea of snow and ice as far as I can see. The bleak ruby skies haven’t changed since that day at Yale University when my father’s climate change experiment turned the world upside-down, destroying and covering everything with ice.
Not many made it.
Four thousand survivors are at Liberty, the biodome settlement in Rhode Island, plus the two deadly groups of nomads known as Bleeders and Sproggs, who have made their homes in caves and igloos. There could be other dangerous scavengers out there.
They just haven’t found us yet.
I don’t know if others have survived elsewhere or how many people have died around the world due to the cataclysmic shift in the climate no one expected. I can only guess most of the world’s population is gone including all animal life. Mass extinction. We have no real way of knowing for sure, unable to communicate to find out.
More than anything, I miss my father and my brother, Luke. My younger sister, Chloe, and Brandon Church, the man I’ve always loved, are the only comforting pieces left from a life long gone, reminding me there is still hope.
Life inside the domes isn’t easy. Overworked survivors are getting fed up with the food rations. The Infinity Council fears riots will break out if they can’t find a solution. We can’t keep up with the biofuel production—special fuel made from sunflower and other nuts, desperately needed for our outside vehicles to scavenge for supplies, extra food, and medicine frozen deep within the ice.
I want to believe what’s left of human life will survive in this new world, but with each day, we face new challenges in and outside of Liberty.
It isn’t going to matter if some of us have mysteriously developed a rare blood type known as Golden Blood and with it, strange paranormal superpowers. Those things won’t matter if what’s left of humanity ends up killing each other over food rations or starving to death.
A huge thanks to Melissa Gamez for designing the symbols for the series. The symbols are significant to each book in numerous ways. Example: The symbol on the cover of Liberty is the same symbol stamped on the wrists of survivors at the settlement. EASTFALL will be available to pre-order in March. In the meantime, you can grab ICEHAVEN and pre-order LIBERTY.

I am absolutely thrilled to have received this wonderful review from Publishers Weekly for ICEHAVEN (Sum of all Tears – Book 1)!
“Crime writer Cresswell (Deadly Shadow) and romance author Chester (Tied Together) successfully step into the postapocalyptic genre with this tale of good intentions and terrible results. August Madison is in the audience for the unveiling of her father’s technology to fix Earth’s warming climate when the auditorium comes crashing down on her. When she next opens her eyes, she sees nothing but snow and ice. Soon she learns that she’s somehow come back to life several weeks after the disaster—and that her father’s intended climate repair has instead turned the entire planet to frozen tundra. With new friends, she fights to survive, battling both the weather and other factions looking for supplies. Meanwhile, Coast Guard cadet Brandon Church, a childhood friend of August’s, is stranded with his crew and their fortunately well-stocked ship in the middle of the frozen ocean. They’re rescued by financier Graysen Marx, who helped fund the cooling project, and taken to Liberty, a prototype biodome Graysen created that’s now the only chance of survival on Earth. August and her crew eventually make their way to Liberty, hoping to find peace and safety there, but power goes to Graysen’s head, leading him to make deadly choices. The survivors’ fear and desperation will keep readers engrossed from the beginning. Fans of apocalyptic stories looking for a change from tales of melting ice caps will enjoy this cooler treat.” (BookLife)
