Hulking shadows emerge out of the chaotic flurries of the blizzard. Something is dying, and so they come, like vultures.
After months of struggling south to escape the zombie-infested remains of New York, a snowstorm traps 23-year old artist, Emily, and her son in an abandoned gas station. Starving and desperate, they encounter Aaron, an Army medic on a mission of his own, who offers them a ride to ease the journey.
The road is a long and dangerous place to travel, and every day brings a new threat. But fear and adrenaline also drive the two closer together; they find laughter and a budding attraction that starts to thaw at their numb and deadened feelings. And that’s when the pain really starts to hit, when places long thought lost prickle back to life. Eventually, they will have to fight not just for survival, but for a future together, or their broken world will swallow them whole.
Warnings: Contains language some might find offensive, some gore and situations of a sexual nature.

After Life Lessons - The Interlude offers nine snapshots of their lives from the perspectives of the different characters. It paints their present and digs up their past, and leads the reader through two years of rest, until Aaron, Emily and Song are ready for their next adventure in After Life Lessons - Book Two.

kids, and too many pets. She has a degree in English writing from
University of Colorado, and a lesser degree in sarcasm earned from the
days of yore on AOL. A storyteller since she started talking, she now
spends her days writing, reading and contemplating the universe through

between the home he left behind and lure of the ocean he ran to,
something has tied his fates to the beach, and he is not the only one.
She is a famous mystery: the Venice Skater Chick. Shane has loved her
since his first night on the beach. Others are watching her, too—and at
least one wants her dead.

waiting for him on the other side.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW
Hi Lorrie, thanks for stopping by Accepted Wisdom today!
1. Let’s start easy… can you tell us a little bit about At the Edge of the World?
At
the Edge of the World tells the story of Shane, a teenage runaway, who
falls in love with a mysterious girl at Venice Beach. It turns out he is
not the only one fascinated with her, and the mystery of her origin,
and her life on the beach. Soon Shane is caught up in a rather tangled
web of love and, possibly, murder.
2. Which character in At the Edge of the World is your favorite? (I adore Shane!)
Trey
is my favorite! I didn't realize when I was writing him how much I
would like him, and have a kernel of an idea of a prequel featuring him.
3. What made you decide to write a paranormal romance?
I
think, especially as teenagers, we're all more interested in the lives
that are lived parallel to ours rather than our own life. Magic, too, is
also something I remember being unable to get enough of when I was
young. The idea of falling in love with a paranormal creature, and
leading a life different from your own is definitely enticing.
4. What was the biggest challenge you faced while writing At the Edge of the World?
I
tend to get "lit ficcy"-- I start getting maybe too into the structure
of the story, and how it's told, how it feels. ATEOTW has a pretty
strong plot, and I have a harder time keeping on top of plot-driven
novels.
5. I
loved that you chose Venice as the setting of your book; I think it was
the perfect choice! So tell us… do you have a favorite freak show act?
I've
never been to an actual freak show, but my favorite episode of The
X-Files was the one with The Jim Rose Circus. I think I most love
contortionists-- I'm jealous of that sort of ability!
6. Let’s
talk about Maya, the mysterious skater chick and Shane’s love interest.
I was half-way through the book before I was able to figure out what
she really was…you really kept me guessing! Is it okay to share what
she is? Or is that meant to be a secret that should be revealed only by
reading the book?
I
think it's allowed, lol. I read a lot of myths and fables about the
origins of her kind and tried to infuse them into the book.
7. Quick! Tell us 3 things about yourself that some people may consider strange! Ready, Set, Go!
1) I have double-jointed toes.
2) I keep a small flock of chickens in my back yard.
3) I've never seen Titanic.
8. What advice would you give to someone who is a runaway like Shane?
I
don't know, really. Shane ran away because he thought he had no other
choice. Maybe I'd tell him, or someone like him, there is someone,
somewhere, who will believe your truths. You don't need to hide.
9. What are some of your upcoming projects that you would like to share with us?
Laila
Blake and I are about halfway through writing After Life Lessons, Book
Two, for release early next year. Own my own, I've been working on a
paranormal dystopian teen mystery (all the things!) and some
character-focused stories about women my own age.
10. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions! Would you like to add anything else before we go?
I
hope your readers take a look at ATEOTW, and enjoy the world of Shane
and Maya. It was fun to write, and, I think, a lot of fun to read!
