Mark Doran has given up on happiness, all he wants now is a little peace. A failed marriage, disappointing career and addiction to everything under the sun have made Mark chuck everything and seek the path to enlightenment. However, Mark's tranquil life goes by the wayside when his son wakes him early one Sunday with a telephone call. "Dad, I shot someone. I couldn't help it." Mark races from Washington, DC to Maryland's Eastern Shore to investigate. His son witnessed a mob killing and shot the killer in self-defense. To protect him from retaliation, Mark uses his position as a reporter to pin the killing on the vigilante Orion. He enlists the aid of an ex-cop dying of cancer to help maintain the façade. Before Mark knows it, the mob comes to town, the FBI starts investigating and the ex-cop and his psychotic friend are gearing up for a war. To make matters worse, Mark's ex-wife Yolanda can't keep her hands off him. He wants to be supportive, after all her son is in danger too, but he still bears the scars from her leaving him. Then all hell breaks loose when the real Orion pays a visit.

While ruling for ages, Aria Governess Supreme has kept a tight rein on her subjects, eliminating free will through brain-computer interface and hippocampus manipulation. Aria commands life or the disposal of it without fear of retribution or affliction of conscience. When a nuclear holocaust destroys the world she created, her disaffected scout, Cliff, gazes over the barren land seemingly devoid of life and wonders what is next in his journey to survive. Even with the employment of Aria’s scientific prowess, one subject remains untamed. Emery, both a hindrance and a marvel to the Governess Supreme, has tested the bounds of Aria’s resolve at every point in her life. Despite the brain-computer interface and governing control, Emery has managed to lean on the teachings of her Grand Nanny for guidance, fight the restraints placed upon her, and ultimately find her way through life. Now as she wanders the desert afraid and alone, Emery vacillates between her memories and her harsh new reality. But when her path ultimately crosses with Cliff’s, everything is about to change. In this post-apocalyptic tale set in the remnants of a destroyed United States, an untamed subject and a defiant scout attempt to survive in a world run by governors desperate to exert absolute power.

Joshua's Mission is a new standalone novel in the Plain and Simple Miracles collection from popular author Vannetta Chapman. These stories of love and family and Amish community in Oklahoma tell of the miracles that can happen when lives are lived in service to God and to one another. Joshua Kline travels from his farm in Oklahoma to offer aid to an Englisch town on the gulf coast of Texas after a category 4 hurricane has ravaged the area. He brings his brother with him, who needs a change of environment. The last thing he wants for Alton is another brush with the law. He is pleasantly surprised when he hears that Becca Troyer, the bishop's granddaughter, plans on joining their team. What will Joshua find when he arrives in Texas? A lack of electricity, certainly, which poses little problem for the Amish volunteers as they help restore order from destruction. But a budding romance? A call from God? And a possible healing of his relationship with Alton? Joshua's Mission is a story of love, forgiveness, and the grace of God that carries us through even the worst situations.
