Generation Retaliation

 

The Reformation of Marli Meade

Coming December 4th, 2025

Born and raised on an isolated Appalachian mountain, Marli Meade yearns to break free from her family’s religious tyranny. She’s exhausted by the merciless rules, the constant hypervigilance, and the complete lack of a normal, independent life. The worst part is, though, there is no way out. Until she meets local boy, Nate Porter, that is, and suddenly everything changes. A new world, far from her oppressive roots, starts to unfold in her imagination. Soon it becomes more than an idea, and begins to unfold as a possible reality. The problem is that her family will do anything to keep her shackled to the mountain, the church, and to them…including murder.

As these two worlds collide, exposing buried secrets more sinister than she ever imagined, Marli must make a choice: find the courage to fight for the life she wants or remain in a life that’s not worth living.

Intense and hard to put down!

For seventeen-year-old Shaun Treadway, terror and rage are a way of life. Living with the fear that his abusive stepfather will one day kill his mother, Shaun decides to kill him first—by setting fire to his childhood home with his stepfather inside.

Fleeing Baltimore to his mother’s hometown in West Virginia, he hides out in his family’s isolated cabin. Except the small town of Blackthorn Peak is anything but welcoming. The streets are deserted, there is no sign of life, and at the end of Main Street is the creepiest abandoned building he’s ever seen: Blackthorn Peak Lunatic Asylum.

Coming 2026

In this thrilling conclusion to the Blackthorn Peak duology, secrets and manipulations are revealed, and no one is who they seem. Six months after Shaun Treadway and his friends escaped Blackthorn Peak Asylum, they are hiding deep in the Appalachian Mountains where food is scarce, and help is even scarcer. There is no where they can go, and no one they can trust.

Then everything changes one gray October day…

When Shaun discovers that the Agency has returned to the asylum and activity has reignited with a vengeance, any hope he had, as fleeting as it was, comes crashing down. The Agency will never stop its mission to rid the world of “problem” teens. Worse, he knows the Agency is coming after them, but so is the law. Shaun and his friends must face two terrifying prospects: be annihilated by the Agency or face the death penalty if arrested. With these odds, what is there to fight for?

  • Generation Annihilation
    The Inspiration Behind a Novel Set in an Abandoned Lunatic Asylum. It’s release day for Generation Annihilation, and I’d love to share a bit about the inspiration behind the writing of this novel. I was on a tour of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, West Virginia, a handful of years ago. Having a natural inclination toward the more paranormal side of life, this asylum has stood out as a diamond in the proverbial haunted locale ruff. So much so that I’ve taken four tours in total, one in the middle of the night, and am always eager to return for another. The visit that inspired Generation Annihilation found me standing on a balcony overlooking a large, rectangular room. I was […]
