"With nearly 9 million copies in print, The Foxfire Book and its eleven companion volumes stand memorial to the people and the vanishing culture of the Southern Appalachian Mountains, brought to life for readers through the words of those who were born, lived their lives, and passed away there—words collected by high school students who wanted to be a part of their community and preserve their heritage. All 12 volumes in the regular series are anthologies of Foxfire Magazine articles written by Rabun County high school students over the magazine's 40-year history, usually expanded through follow-up interviews and other research."

FICTION
Nature Survival, War, and other Hardship
The Sway of Disaster
“mething miraculous happens when people go through a disaster together. Relationships develop fast and furious and bonds are formed that will last a lifetime. People piss each other off and fall in love in a matter of hours and the alchemic mixture of necessity, isolation, and hope creates unrivaled rapport like a violent catalyzed reaction. There is nothing more thrilling than pairing heartbreak with desperate survival.”

Politics, Terrorism, and Intrigue/Conspiracy
High Desert Barbecue
“conspiracy, arson and ineptitude threaten the desert West, and only a misanthropic hermit, a subversive schoolteacher and an unemployed business writer stand in the way.”
2012
“Against a backdrop of ever-increasing International tension and global disasters, a middle-aged, suicidal, ex-Special Forces soldier, with nothing to lose, teams up with the young daughter of an MIT Robotics Engineer. As the US and China are on the brink of war, they race to prevent the End of the World!”
The Last American Martyr
Very highly-reviewed author. “In this me-me twenty-first century, Thomas Soles may very well be the last American martyr. This self-described “simple man” writes a simple book that resuscitates the all-but-dead international labor movement. The response to his thoughts and perceptions are astounding. All around the globe, from pole to pole, from America to Zimbabwe, the marching footsteps of workers, young and old, tremor the earth. But not everyone is pleased. There’s a tight-knit, elitist clique that is absolutely livid over the thoughts and ideals that fill the pages of his book. And the moment Tom and his wife, Elaina, return home from Sweden, they realize just how angry this profit-hungry mob really is. Mortified by the horrid scene that awaits them inside their New York tenement, the Soles’ have no choice but to flee their longtime home. Hoping to find anonymity, they bounce all over America in an RV. But they don’t find peace. Instead they become moving targets. Everywhere they go they're followed by a succession of life-threatening events.”

Collapse, Post-Apocalypse, Speculative Futures
Overrun
“In a dying world no longer protected by an ozone layer, technology only exists to shelter small amounts of land. A new Cold War has arisen between the United States and new superpower, Japan's Great Union. Both race to develop protective technology for their citizens. Advancements are kept secret with each country hoping the other will fail and perish from the Earth. With an inevitable war on the horizon, a secret U. S. defense strategy is constructed calling for the launch of demolition forces against unsheltered American cities in ambush of invading troops….”
Overrun: Project Hideaway
“The Overrun story continues… A week following the declaration of war, the U.S. is close to defeat. A failed genocide attempt becomes known to the public and the President must answer to the world for his administration’s sins. An element still exists that could bring victory to the battered U.S. forces and ease the tensions of a quickly dividing country. On the ship Hideaway, technology to create an artificial ozone floats secretly hidden away in space untouched by the conflict being waged on Earth. The President launches a covert retrieval mission led by one of his top most-involved generals in the war. The J.G.U as well as separate mercenary forces race to do the same. The quest to obtain the prized technology becomes a final battle for victory in the war as well as an ultimate determination of survival of the planet. “
The Carver
Short. “Young M had flouted the law to make a declaration of love. But in this modern-gothic world, where the trees are suddenly and catastrophically dying off, the purity of his gesture will be lost amid the torpor and aimlessness of the end of the world.”
Flashback
“"A dystopian Sunset Limited in the spirit of 1984" A story of oppression, resistance and consequences. Set in a world some time after the glorious people's revolution, the Party has near unchallenged control, except in the freehold. The freehold is a mocking reminder of the Party's failure to quench the memory of the old republic. Tonight, they aim to erase the freehold and the resistance that dwells there, but something goes terribly wrong.”
Alone With The Gods
“The global recession deepens and fuel prices continue to rise. Governments lend huge sums of money to keep the banking systems functioning, which is never seen again. Budget cuts to the police, high unemployment and crime lead to rioting, civil disorder and a break down in transportation and within a year entire cities cease to function. Juliane has a plan; to return to the abandoned family farm in Spain and replant it, where she knows she can survive. In Sheffield in the UK, William, a tragic alcoholic scrapes together the pennies for another bottle of whiskey. He will soon have to learn the lessons the world has been trying to teach him and discover the strength, faith and leadership which he has buried deep inside. The adventure follows a group of refugees as they face a perilous journey, through streets owned by gangs and looting mobs, through blazing sun and frozen peaks, from the abandoned steel mills of Sheffield to the beautiful mountains of the Pyrenees.”
