Today in the show Lisa and I have the privilege of talking with Sara Hathaway who is the author of Day After Disaster. Some of you may have already read it, but for those of you who haven't I highly recommend it. I personally am not a big book reader because I am constantly reading other prepping blogs, but I have to say this book kept my interest.

I also found out during the podcast that this was not just a book, but the first book in The Changing Earth series and the second book will be published very shortly, Sara informed us that she just finished writing the second book the night before we recorded.

The book Day After Disaster is centered around a California woman who is thrust into an unexpected survival situation and goes through many challenges along the way that test her mentally and physically. This is what I like about prepper fiction, while it is fiction we can learn some things by reading these types of books.

These show notes really don't do this justice, you need to listen to the show to get a good idea about the book and Sara the author.

Day After Disaster is a little different than the typical prepper fiction book because Erica is completely on her own in the beginning and has to find her way back to her family. Because this was from a single persons point of view rather than a group I found myself thinking about what I would do if faced with the same situations.

Sara also has plans for a future podcast where she will read from her books and also offer preparedness and survival tips. She asked Lisa and I if we would be willing to be guests and we can't wait, it really sound like it going to be a great podcast.

In the show we talked about keeping a group together and getting back together. here is a link to the grid system we talked about on her blog: [Click Here]

We didn't just talk about her book, we talked about some of the lessons you can learn form it. Sara really walks the walk when it comes to preparedness and survival and it shows in her writing. She is EMT trained (although she chose not to work in that profession) and trained in martial arts making her a great addition to any SHTF group or community haha

Here are a few other things we talked about in the podcast.

Wake up America! Our food supply is fragile, our energy grid is archaic, and our disaster response systems are inadequate.
