When the Lights Go Out... Who Will Be Ready? All Gabe Thompson wanted was a rewarding and challenging career in the U.S. military. He's about to get his wish.
The government knows that a massive solar flare could plunge the entire world into darkness for decades to come, but few believe it will ever happen. The governor of Texas is hoping it won't, but planning that it could. She implements her brainchild, the top secret Operation Nightshade, and Gabe suddenly finds himself chosen to train for the end of modern society.
When the government learns their darkest fear is about to become a reality, Gabe can't warn anyone of the impending disaster—but he can stock his shelves and do everything in his power to ensure his neighbor, Lenora Diaz, will survive as long as possible.
Gabe must race against a cataclysmic solar clock if he hopes to be in position when the blackout descends.
Overshadowed is a prequel novella to the Remnant Series by Vannetta Chapman and is available as a free eBook from Amazon or Barnes&Noble.
What would happen if a massive solar flare hit the earth and knocked out electricity and communications? Overshadowed is a dystopian series that explores the idea and believe it or not, NASA says there is a 12% chance of a large storm coming in the next 10 years. A massive solar flare could leave millions of Americans without power for years!
For such a short novella, this little book is action packed and made me want to jump right into reading Deep Shadows.
This series will definitely make you think about putting together an Emergency Preparedness Plan and Kit. The CDC is a great resource for how to prepare for an emergency and has a list of the following as a guideline on how to prepare yourself.

Solar flare…I think more long term than 3 months. I plan to even get a crossbow for hunting. I would also recommend learning how to forage for wild edibles. Google or take books on true off the grid living. I wouldn’t mind reading this book to see how the character fair in these kinds of circumstances.
