Introvert Speaks Out: Why You'll Never Shy Away From Life's Opportunities Again!
”Introverts… have a great deal to bring to society. But how do we get our message and skills out there, when (as is our nature) we often wait for our turn to speak in a world that never seems to shut up and give us a chance? I am an example of someone who has (after many painful life lessons) overcome (or at least masked) much of what is believed to be the pitfalls of an introverted personality. I have found a way to fit into the world and to use my low key nature to my benefit.”

The Seduction of Eva Volk
”In World War II, American soldiers were shocked to discover thousands of German POW's carrying New Testaments. Christians serving Hitler? Never before undertaken in a novel, 'The Seduction of Eva Volk' explores the reality of this no-so-simple paradox from the German point of view. Through the eyes of young Eva Volk, the alluring charm of the Hitler movement is personified in a lover. Desperately seeking wholeness in her broken world, she is quickly swept away by the passions of love and war...until she finds herself facing the consequences of blindness. Her's is a story that serves as a warning to us all.”

Weather Birds High
”Southern Africa at the start of the nineteenth century - a raw and rugged landscape filled with dangers for travelers and those pioneers seeking independence from the colonial government of the Cape. Certainly no easy place for a woman, but for Hanna the choice was already made: lead those who chose to follow her, or lose everything. From early Cape Town to the sparsely inhabited plains of the north west, Weather Birds High is a saga of constant change, challenges, and ultimately, love.”

"When Jeff and Jeannie discover prepping they don't realize how little time is left. Will the preps they were able to make in the short time they had keep them alive? Will they live long enough to escape the city?"

Islanders
”Ben Brewer has lived all his life on the Island. But things are getting unbearable. There’s hardly any food and there’s nothing to do. Plus, the adults are so scared they won’t let anyone leave. Thirteen years ago, the Mainland was torn apart by war and contaminated by biological weapons. Ben’s parents were leaders of the Resistance. They moved all their friends and comrades to the safety of the Island. But then his dad went back to fight, never to return. Ben was born a few months later. He has never met his dad. When a message arrives saying that his dad is still alive, Ben decides to go to the Mainland. He needs to know the truth about the War. If his dad is still alive, why did he never come back?”

Darklandia
Dystopia, “better than 1984,” for plot see link.

Where the forgotten were thrown
Dystopia. ”For centuries the rich and the poor lived side by side, only divided by wages and cities. ...Left in the broken ruins of Britain, the abandoned cities filled with toxic fumes becomes the only world the poor know. Here food is a luxury, survival the only motivation, until there no longer was a gap between man and monster. Sullivan was born in these lawless terrains. But it was only when he lost his post as a gang leader that he had to bear the reality of such a world without its mask, where hunger turned friends into enemies, and every decision was one of life or death.”

The Glimpse: A Vision of America's Future - Top Rated
Christian fiction. “God answers their cry by throwing them into a world that looks like a nightmare version of the United States. Everything is so similar, yet totally different, starting with the fact that Christians are nearly extinct after decades of persecution. They soon discover it is a fascist nation, where anyone who professes faith in Christ risks their life. The four travelers encounter a group of teenagers that turn out to be one of the last surviving churches, led by their high school teacher, Eric Peterson. With no visible way to get home, Austin, Lizzie and their friends join the underground church in their fight to spread the Gospel while avoiding the National Police.”

More Sci-Fi-or-Fantasy-ish

Apocryphon-Cycle Pleiades' Son
”This is the first book in a new Sci-Fi series, Apocryphon-Cycle. Set in the year 2300, when the Five Factions of Humanity have seeded the near stars in an attempt to escape an over-populated and dying Earth. Even though they each now have miraculous technology at their finger tips, their existence is constantly threatened by the dangers of space and the threat of each other. “

Once Upon A Time On Ninth Earth
”Along the equator of the ninth colony planet, a never-ending Summer makes life a constant struggle for anyone brave enough to attempt a homestead. Life is about take an even more cruel turn for Myron Diaz and his son, who must learn harsh lessons about loss, betrayal, and revenge.”

A Heartbeat from Tomorrow (Part 1)
1st of more, but others not out yet: “Time probes sent forward to 5174 A.D. discover a rogue black hole is going to pass close enough to our sun to cause it to explode. …As the year 5174 looms closer and closer, it becomes obvious that there is nothing the current generation can do to change the outcome of 5174 A.D. Time probes confirm that: (1) burrowing deep into the earth, (2) relocating to the moons of Uranus and Neptune, and (3) trying to use a spaceship to outrun the rapidly expanding inferno of solar debris are all futile tactics. As a last resort, it is decided to “push” the knowledge of advanced science back in time, before certain important discoveries and breakthroughs would occur naturally. Maybe, just maybe, if the human race had an extra thousand years to prepare for the cosmic disaster that was coming, maybe there might be some way for man to survive beyond 5174 A.D. Desperate times call for desperate measures.”

Rebirth
”Fleeing their homes in the city, three teens find themselves on the run with little kids in tow. As people vanish and buildings crumble, they seek shelter in the nearby mountains. Survival depends on their ability to adapt with nothing more than the items pilfered from a crumbling store. Hovering in the background is the constant threat of being discovered by the aliens, adding to the pressure the teens feel having no shelter, a limited supply of food and the well-being of three children to ensure. They must come up with some creative solutions before the inevitable onset of winter, while attempting to remain “invisible” to avoid capture. Being mature and responsible is no longer optional as they deal with their individual personalities, traumas, and learn to raise a baby. Unaware of the extent of the alien destruction, they can’t help but wonder if all their efforts are in vain.“

REDUCTIONS

Buried Alive (#3) A Post-Apocalyptic Love Story (No Shelter Trilogy)
”When the environment is ravaged by rising sea levels and monstrous storms, America is divided and survival becomes more precious than love. After their haven in the woods is compromised, Nada and her tribe must decide whether they want to hike all the way from California to Washington D.C. in the dead of winter with the Guardians on their tail. Nada isn't certain she wants to spend the rest of her life living in an underground shelter with Isaac, even if it means living comfortably and free of fear. Nada thinks this is the most difficult decision she has ever had to make until an even more difficult decision presents itself. Will love or shelter conquer all? This is a post-apocalyptic love story”
