Another noise from the main part of the house made her jerk her eyes up and peer into the darkness. She recoiled as the splintering of wood clearly indicated that someone had shouldered their way through the front door. She turned and grabbed the cell phone that always sat by her bedside and struggled to type the correct password that would unlock the phone so she could call the police.
Her fingers shook frantically and she had to start all over again. Finally she unlocked the phone and tapped the key that would allow her to place the emergency call.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
A veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Brian Parker was born and raised as an Army brat. He moved all over the country as a child before his father retired from the service and they settled in a small Missouri town where the family purchased a farm. It was on the farm that he learned the rewards of a hard day's work and enjoyed the escapism that books could provide.
He's currently an Active Duty Army soldier who enjoys spending time with his family in Texas, hiking, obstacle course racing, writing and Texas Longhorns football. His wife is also an Active Duty soldier and the pairing brings its own unique set of circumstances that keep both of them on their toes. He's an unashamed Star Wars fan, but prefers to disregard the entire Episode I and II debacle.
Brian has authored several books across multiple genres, including post-apocalyptic fiction, zombie horror, paranormal thrillers and children's fiction. He self-published four books before signing a 4-book contract with Permuted Press. His novels GNASH and Enduring Armageddon were previously self-published and his military-themed zombie apocalypse series Washington, Dead City will be released by Permuted beginning in February 2016.
