Living Off the Grid: The Plan, Tips and Strategies for Life off the Grid
Food Self-Sufficiency: Reality Check
”Some people like the idea of producing their own food. They want to grow a garden or raise animals, or otherwise provide for themselves. Others are 'preppers' and have been buying and storing food in case of disaster, hardship, or other turmoil. ...knowing how to produce your own food is real security. Hand in hand with that is knowing what you'll need to produce, preserve, and store that food. This books is about the numbers. It's not a how-to book, it's about what you need for the “how to”. We'll look at figuring out how much space you need for gardens or animals, how many jars you'll need if you plan to get into canning, and what other options there are for preserving and storing food. I'll talk about animals and their needs, and suggest ways to feed and shelter them that won't break your bank account. I'll point you the right direction to find out what you need to know about foraging, hunting, and fishing, plus share some tips from my own experiences. This book is geared toward those with limited funds, but will also be helpful to more prosperous readers who are considering growing or otherwise providing for most or all of their own food. The 'how-to' may vary but the numbers are the same, whether you're rich or poor.”

Money Doesn't Grow on Trees: Teaching Your Children About Money (Living Your Financial Life)
Basic Beginnings A Finance Management Handbook for Teens and Young Adults
”As a result of approximately 15 years of filing and managing consumer bankruptcy cases as an attorney, Carol L. Stokes learned too many children are growing up in households with those who live by this "live today, worry tomorrow" motto. The children in these households, in turn, learn by example to mismanage their finances. A cycle of poor financial management is then created…Imagine our young people knowing such basic concepts as "budgeting," "compound interest" and "finance charge." Imagine, even, them distinguishing an asset from a liability and learning the pros and cons of credit card use. What if our youth had a readily available resource on basic finance management?”

FICTION
The Tragedy of An African Child (An African True Story of Survival)
Raft People
“Human errors magnify global climate change, forcing catastrophic floods over the world's coastlines. The military scrambles for ships while the wealthy run to secret ocean habitats. Meanwhile ordinary people find themselves stuck between jammed escape routes and the rising sea. While billions of people struggle to survive, several thousand turn to http://raftpeople.com/, a website that helps them construct floating escape vessels out of things they have on hand. During the time of the Big Flood, Liz Green is a troubled teenager living with her single mother and brothers. Faced with the rising sea to the south and jammed highways to the north, Leah, Liz's mother, decides they need to become Raft People. … It falls into the category of post-apocalyptic thrillers, but is also an adventure and coming of age story.“
Scientist
”Tells the tale of a scientist who gave the world proof that climate change was a fabrication. What would happen if we stopped caring about climate change? Find out as you read the story of the Scientist.”
The Year of Compulsory Childbirth
"In some ways similar to Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, but based on a short story written some ten years earlier, this book is a tour de force of dystopian literature."
EDEN²
"Human civilisation has recovered from a cataclysmic mass extinction and embraced the teachings of a mysterious and sinister prophet."
Ameristocracy
“When a conspiracy theorist cop stumbles upon the secret society responsible for the assassinations of Lincoln and Kennedy, he becomes convinced that they now have the newly elected President squarely in their cross-hairs. But with the clock ticking and danger lurking around every corner, the truth proves to be much closer to him than he ever imagined. This novella, a political thriller, will suit anyone that loves conspiracies.”
State of Rebellion (A Pug Connor Novel)
"A runaway federal government! Western states in revolt! Martial law in Sacramento! America in a State of Rebellion!" First in series, but I think they are all self-contained (ie you don’t have to read the others.)
The Son of Shinar (The Time of Jacob's Trouble)
Biblical end-times novel
The Morpheus Network
Identity theft global conspiracy type thing.
Cyberdrome
Post-apocalypse—with sci-fi. “a brilliant scientist…accidentally unleashed a man-made plague that ravaged America’s heartland, and now threatens the rest of the planet. Riddled with guilt and running out of time, he decides to use a dangerous technology to enter a computer-generated reality called Cyberdrome, hoping to unravel a mystery that could be the key to Earth’s survival.”
Damnation Day III - Here be Dragons
”The Damnation Day quartet, of which Here be Dragons is the third book, is set in a post-apocalyptic world, and follows the lives and loves of some of the ‘survivors’. The central character, Angelus, is known to some as ‘the black crow’ or ‘the dark angel’ because on his travels, he is often the bearer of bad news – but Angelus has his secrets..... The stories follow the lives of Angelus and those who travel with him as they travel through their world and try to ‘put things right’.”
The first one, Damnation Day 1 - Hell's Angel
was offered free once since I’ve been looking, but it was before I started this blog. Two is Damnation Day 2 - Games People Play
and the fourth I don’t think has been released yet.
SUDDEN DECOMPRESSION
Shorter.“Sometimes the last man standing is a woman: The Near Future, a Balkanized Earth drowns in greed and violence. Kali Muse, private military contractor on the shuttle Whiskey & Water, earns a living in Hostile Salvage, recovering artifacts and forgotten wealth out of the poisoned rubble of the planet’s numerous hot zones. Constantly trying to outrun her haunted past she pulls a long forgotten secret from a desiccated corpse, changing the course of her life… Possession of the salvaged information threatens to change the delicate political balance of the world, setting Kali on a collision course with murderous government agencies, ruthless mercenaries and worst of all; her ex-lover…Revolving around close combat, personal betrayal and the price of loyalty, Sudden Decompression is a fast paced para-military Science Fiction novel. Fans of David Drake and John Ringo will find the action they demand mixed with an astute exploration of what our world will look like fifteen-minutes-into-the-future.”
