THE FARM SERIES

BOOK 1 - HARROWING

The advent of COVID-19 was a game changer for many people, including me. The world shrank to a neighbourhood and even eventually to the home. Walks and trips to the supermarket required the new fashion accessory of 'the mask' and contact became mostly digital.

I began the first draft of 'The Farm' in 2013, long before anyone had heard the word COVID. The pandemic I imagined was far from reality and of such a magnitude that it decimated the world's population. It left the survivors in isolated limbo. It seemed an unlikely scenario at the time, but I wanted to play with the idea. 

The story centres around Lexi Winton, recovering from a failed marriage, a disastrous affair, losing her job and with a temporary dependence on alcohol. She wakes from her own brush with the deadly virus to find the world has changed, the cities are in chaos and her brother is missing.
