River of Diamonds

A mechanic who can save the world.
A mercenary who should hide from it.
Just another day living the dream in post-Rise Australia.

Rosa is a mechanic living in the Otway Ranges, in one of the last idyllic settlements left after the Rise flooded the coastlines. Unlike those in other communities, Rosa has grown up with access to ample food, fresh water, and safety—but there is a secret that keeps this community sustainable, one that the leaders aren’t willing to share.

Rosa isn’t content with hiding away and keeping resources to herself, so when she finds a map that could lead to a fortune in fresh water—a scarce commodity—she embarks on a plan to make a real difference to the world.

The only problem? There’s an apocalyptic wasteland between her and possible salvation.

Rosa has a map, a mercenary, and a hope to salvage the future.

About the book:

River of Diamonds is my first book, to be published January 31, 2020. It is part of the Drowned Earth series of novellas which are set in Australia after an asteroid has hit the Antarctic, causing the Earth’s waters to rise rapidly. My novella is set thirty years after the Rise and follows Rosa, a mechanic, and Greg a mercenary, in their mission to find a sustainable water source.

About the Drowned Earth series:

The Drowned Earth series is a set of eight novellas all set in the same post-apocalyptic Australian landscape. They are all stand-alone books. The series will be published by Deadset Press, the first releasing in October 2019.

River of Diamonds is set to release 31.01.2020.
