The new nations are rising up from the ashes of the former US Empire, but there are those who still wish to reassert their former glory.

Continuing on in the Shattered Chronicles—or Shattered Saga, however you want to call it.

This is the third installment in the five volume series about the North American War. From the remains of the dissolved United States, new nations were born.

Leading the advancement, the Locke Republic took control of itself and gained a nation founded on freedom and self-determination.

The Southern Federation and the Texas Republic followed soon after.

Soon the plains people formed a loose federation called the Rocky Mountain Alliance.

After having sought freedom and independence for over a hundred years, the State of Jefferson is finally able to take to the Pacific stage.

But, not unopposed. Mexico now controlling the territory to their south has now amended their relations with these new nations and become a strong ally against the Washington Empire and the American Union.

The American Union’s capital is St. Louis and its dictator is the former Senator Derick Banks of the US Senate. Now he is the ruthless leader of the two-party faction attempting to regain control of the continent.

Ted Valington was the former Vice-President of the US, he now runs the Washington Empire on the coast and tries to assert his dominion over the State of Jefferson as well as lost territories of Canada.

In their eyes, all upstart patriot movements and independent “regimes” are terrorists and anarchists.

But, are those who defy the old empire truly anarchists? Or are they simply patriots who would rather change a flag if it meant freedom and prosperity for their families?

A very controversial volume, I know, but this is just a different take I decided to explore into a fictional history for these North American States.

Could we all do better if we sat down like adults and decided to respect our differences and stop attempting to force our own political beliefs down each other’s throats every single pseudo-election?

Anyhoo, check the book page below!

Can Mark Bennington keep the citizenry satisfied? Can he stave off the invasion of his nation to the south?

By John Irvin

          Today’s trailer can be found through this link to my YouTube channel! Click through to watch the short little reel.

Mark Bennington is the Governor of the Great State of Texas. Thanks to the Black Out and the ensuing civil unrest, he had to extend his term and the people aren’t happy.

Over in Georgia—or what’s left of it—Steve, Sara, and Alex are in a scurry to get out of their neighbourhood now under the reign of violent gangs. They’re planning to head to the Locke Republic, but along the way, they meet Max Norren who has started a resistance and is seeking, what he calls, the Southern Federation.

Will these wars bring the end of the survivors? Will they mean the beginning of something good or evil? Will freedom be returned to the people?

Can order be restored among these sprawling new nations?

It’s amazing how life can make its quick twists and turns.

One minute you’re a member of a city council, the next, you’re running for your life. The next moment, you could be leading a garrison of order-seeking patriots against gangs on your home city’s streets.

Even after that, you could be running for the presidency of a whole new nation!

Yes, a lot goes on in this second installment to my Shattered series.

I must say, I really enjoyed bringing the North American War and its preceding events to life. Although, I’m beginning to wonder if some of it is an unexpected prediction.

Maybe, I need to go back into this series and listen to what my characters were telling me? Maybe, I need to learn from these people I created!

Maybe you should, too.

Sam Turnover is a member of a network that’s been prepared for when the power grid goes down.

By John Irvin

          Today’s trailer can be found through this link to my YouTube channel! Click through to watch the short little reel.

This is the first installment of my Shattered series. I’ve come to call the genre a political drama.

A solar flare knocks out the power grid. There’s a chain reaction in a nuclear facility that blows up the entire northeastern seaboard, sending Washington, D.C., to kingdom come.

In the wake of this devastation, a neighbourhood network asserts its authority over the couple of streets on which its members reside.

Naturally, the military and violent gangs attempt to overrun it, but the people stick together and fend off the invaders.

Samuel Turnover is second-in-command of the network and discusses with his leader plans to form a new nation.

Will it go through? Can there really be new nations, free and independent, on the North American continent?

Is the United States of America gone for good?

This series consists of five short novellas and they were actually sparked from a pseudo-future-history article I wrote.

I wrote the article as if I were a historian in the future relating the events of the Black Out the following North American War. Then, friends told me I should write the actually series.

So I did.

Welcome to volume 1, Collapse. Come join my characters as they play a major role in the history of this western hemisphere.

This high fantasy is the first novella in an old series about a family’s generations…

By John Irvin

          Today’s trailer can be found through this link to my YouTube channel! Click through to watch the short little reel.

I wrote and published this book years ago, hard to believe. Since then, I’ll be open, I haven’t given it much promotion. That’s more a problem with my focusing on the next project then the next one after that and not giving each book its needed attention after publication.

I published it and decided, if it does well, I’ll write the next several books and publish them.

Well, it’s only sold a few copies and that’s my fault.

So, I’m trying to make up for that today with the book trailer above and this short discussion.

Wilyon is a Clan Chieftain in the nation of Lykaenia. The nation is a very loose territory with pockets of clans being ruled by their on Chiefs. Lykaenia has no sense of itself at the moment.

But, the question proposed to Wilyon has him stumbling through the wilderness contemplating a future for the young nation.

With an invader on their northern border, the Lykaenian council recognises their need for a strong national government and they want a king.

Can Wilyon accept the new crown? Can he begin a new era for his nation? Can he lead his peoples in defense of the kingdom against the invaders?

Depending on the outcome of this story, a dynasty could be formed for Lykaenia.

This story does not take place on the planet Earth by the way.

Each book is planned to bring a new generation onto the stage. Wilyon’s descendents take on the family name of Restour. If you read this book and like it, maybe you’ll find out why they choose that name.
