Marcus Adair was a bartender in Cincinnati, Ohio when the devastating Omega virus changed everything. One of the very few people to survive, if only barely, he finds a world changed and wholly unrecognizable. The electric grid is gone. Stores and banks are just a memory. Gas has become a precious and diminishing commodity.

With his immediate family dead, Marcus needs a purpose, a goal, a reason to survive. He thinks of Hidden Acres, the old family farm tucked away in Western Indiana. It is a place of fond childhood memories filled with golden, summertime adventures. It also the only place where he may find surviving family. With nothing to lose, he packs what he can fit into his old hiking backpack and starts the long trek on foot across the remains of the American heartland.

Can he get there safely? If he makes it that far, will he find family, or just the ghostly memories of what once was?

This is the story of Marcus’s journey, and the different people he meets along the way, who are each just trying, in their own way, to make it through. $2.99 on Kindle.

A powerful work of women’s fiction and emotional drama, Natalie: The Truth She Kept Hidden explores trauma, survival, and the long road to healing.

She survived the unthinkable. Now she must remember.

When memories she spent a lifetime burying begin to rise to the surface, one woman’s journey becomes a powerful exploration of trauma, truth, and the long road toward healing.

Inspired by actual emotional truths, Natalie: The Truth She Kept Hidden follows a woman shaped by pain, silence, and survival.
Through vivid storytelling, journal entries, and reflections drawn from the shared experiences of many who have endured abuse, this fictional memoir blurs the line between truth and fiction as Natalie confronts the darkness she once had to forget in order to survive.

With unflinching honesty, the author gives voice to what is too often silenced.

It explores the stolen innocence, the buried pain, and the lingering lost possibilities that abuse leaves behind. Yet at its heart, it is a story of resilience—of finding light in darkness, courage in fear, and healing in truth.

How Hot It Be In Hell descends into the hidden impulses people try to outrun—jealousy, obsession, violence, desire, and the quiet urges that twist a life off course. Each poem opens a door into a different human fracture: a lover’s fatal rage, a predator’s watchful hunger, a drunk stumbling toward chaos, a homeless man recounting the slow collapse of everything he held dear. Even the act of writing becomes a reckoning with the shadows that shape meaning, rendered through Drummond’s surreal imagery and genre?bending voice.

As the collection deepens, the tone grows darker, more unflinching, until the final poem, HOT FIRE, tears past individual sins and imagines hell itself breaking loose upon the earth. Drummond blends romance, horror, mystery, and lyrical experimentation into a haunting exploration of how easily humanity slips toward ruin. The result is a compelling, fire?lit journey for readers drawn to poetry that stares directly into darkness and refuses to look away. Free on Kindle.

“Gripping” – Kirkus Reviews

Based on true accounts of children’s penal colonies that emerged during the 1990s post-Soviet chaos, Going to Zossen is a raw exploration of the bargains ordinary people make under oppressive systems – necessary reading for fans of Claire Keegan’s Small Things Like These and Colson Whitehead’s The Nickel Boys.

The year is 1993. In a collapsing post-Soviet mining town, a former serviceman, Vasily Mikhailovich, accepts work as the director of a remote juvenile prison colony. Determined to bring order and empathy to a brutal system, he starts a rehabilitation program for the young boys. But he is soon thwarted by the corruption around him; as he watches the people nearby prosper through deceit and cruelty, he is forced to make a choice: to uphold his principles and risk everything, or surrender them to save his family.

Going to Zossen achieves almost surgical precision in its depiction of the brutal wave of mass child homelessness that swept through Russia after the fall of the USSR – a collapse that produced up to four million “street children,” the quickest deterioration of living standards to happen in any country during peacetime.
