The Refugees: a Jazz Nemesis Novel Vol. 2 L M Smith

Publisher Marketing: When Jasmine Marshall and her fellow hostages finally won back their freedom and escaped from the mysterious town of Kolob, they believed they would be rejoining civilization and resuming their normal lives. To their horror, what they found on the other side of the dense forest was far worse than anything they could have ever imagined. On December 21, 2012, an unprecedented series of global attacks changed the world and shook the very foundations of society. A significant portion of the Earth's population died following exposure to an illness that the media dubbed 'The Maya Virus', leaving the survivors to examine and question their humanity as vampires, demigods, and zombies crawled from the body bags of the aftermath. Valkyries, demons and other ancient creatures that had lain in wait for centuries began to emerge, seeking to claim the spoils and feed on what remains of mankind. Panicked governments are struggling to maintain order - some of them at any cost. With her newfound empathic power driving her toward the tumultuous precipice of insanity, Jazz will now face the single greatest tribulations of her life. Will she choose to follow the man she loves despite his many unsettling secrets, or will she succumb to a treacherous phantom from her troubled past who could very well provide the ultimate key to her survival? Contributor Bio:  Smith, L M L. M. Smith and her father Norm Smith hoped for many years that they would someday be able to collaborate on writing and illustrating a children's book together. Throughout his life, Norm displayed an exceptional talent with drawing and painting in a variety of mediums and earned a great deal of praise and countless awards for his work as an artist. L. M. began writing poetry and short stories when she was only a child and in the last few years has published several full-length novels for adults and teens, as well as a compilation of poetry from her childhood. Unfortunately their dream of combining their talents was never able to be realized and Norm passed away quite suddenly in the summer of 2013 due to cancer. His remarkable passion for adventure and their incomparable bond as father and daughter inspired her to create this book and hopefully many more to come. His brief, though tragic, battle with the terrible disease further inspired her to donate all proceeds from this book to The V Foundation for Cancer Research.
