I’m building a small team of serious readers to help launch Seasons of Ash and future projects in The Tambora Series. Selected ARC readers receive a free early copy in exchange for an honest Amazon review.

When Mount Tambora erupts with catastrophic force, ash darkens the sky and triggers a global disaster unlike anything in modern history. Power grids fail, supply chains collapse, harvests wither beneath a volcanic winter and trigger a slow, catastrophic and inevitable unraveling of civilization.

Stranded in the Nevada desert after the eruption cripples infrastructure and grounds aircraft, Matt Anderson must cross a country sliding into panic, scarcity, and violence. Cities go dark. Highways clog with desperation. With every mile east, societal collapse becomes undeniable—and survival demands harder choices.

In the mountains of Green Bank, West Virginia, Laura Anderson faces the disaster from inside a fragile community. Crops fail. Water turns acidic. As fear spreads faster than hunger, a charismatic preacher rises, declaring the catastrophe a divine reckoning. Leadership fractures and power shifts. In the vacuum left by collapsing systems, misguided belief becomes as dangerous as the ash itself.

Separated by distance and tested by collapse, Matt and Laura must navigate a fractured America where survival means more than food and fire—it means holding on to humanity when fear threatens to redefine it.

Blending scientific realism with grounded survival storytelling, Seasons of Ash is a character-driven disaster novel about volcanic winter, societal breakdown, and the long road home.

If you loved The Road or Station Eleven, you will be drawn into this haunting portrait of endurance in the face of catastrophe.

When the lights go out, and the ash keeps falling, what does it take to stay human?
