The Zombie Fall of Britain
Britain is collapsing.
The dead are rising, the roads are becoming increasingly dangerous and the people who survive the first days quickly discover that staying alive means more than avoiding the infected.
The Zombie Fall of Britain follows ordinary people through the destruction of the country they knew as they search for safety, family and somewhere that might still offer a future.
Start with No One Dies Once and continue the series in reading order.
The Fordsham Chronicles
An ordinary family. An impossible choice. A country coming apart.
The Fordsham Chronicles is a character-driven British post-apocalyptic series about the Ashcroft family — ordinary people trying to stay together as an outbreak destroys the systems around them.
It begins with Outbreak, continues through Sandstone and reaches its reckoning inside the walls of Conwy, where the greatest threat may not be the infected outside.
For readers who want their zombie fiction grounded in real people, real fear and real consequences.
The Anglesey Dead
As the zombie outbreak tears through North Wales, Anglesey has one chance to survive: close the two bridges to the mainland and let the sea hold the line.
But every minute of delay means more desperate survivors — and more infected — heading for the island. And the sea, it turns out, is not as safe as everyone hoped.
Five books. One island. A coastline that may be impossible to defend.

The Zombie Fall of the USA
The outbreak reaches the United States — and the interstates, the arteries that once held a continent together, become corridors of death.
As cities fall and the roads clog with the abandoned and the infected, survivors learn that the fastest way out is no longer a road at all.
Borders fail, crossings become deadly, and the line between safe ground and the dead begins to break down entirely.
The AI Blackout Apocalypse
Not every apocalypse begins with the dead.
In The AI Blackout Apocalypse, modern civilisation discovers how quickly everyday life can unravel when the systems everyone depends upon simply stop working.
Power. Communications. Supply chains. Transport. Information. Gone.
Everyone had laughed at "Doomsday Graham" — the neighbour who never stopped preparing for the end — until the day the lights went out and he was the only one ready.
For readers who enjoy grid-down fiction, prepper survival thrillers, technological collapse and stories about what happens after modern infrastructure fails.
