About Boyd Craven III

Boyd Craven has penned over 30 books since becoming a full-time author in late 2014 and early 2015.

He loves to hunt, fish and take long camping trips. He travels across the country in his little yellow truck for events, visiting family in Texas or just getting inspiration. Don't ask him how he got to where he is because he's still trying to figure it out.

Oh yeah, writing about myself in the third person is kind of fun, and just a taste of my sometimes sarcastic sense of humor and snark I seem to idle at. If you like a little clean romance and humor in your end of the world stories, you've come to the right place.

Fragments of America: Short Stories of the Apocalypse (Black Autumn Book 5) Mar 7, 2020

by Jeff Kirkham , Jason Ross , L.L. Akers , Josh Brooks , Boyd Craven III , Arthur Dorst , Adam Fullman , George Grimm , Paul Knoch , Chris Serfustini , R.Chris Yates

$3.99

At the dark end of the American empire, there is no such thing as a guaranteed hero. Sleazy lawyers grab their AR-15s and stand up for their mistresses. Children become warriors. High school losers transform into comic book vigilantes. Old men pop ibuprofen and charge into battle to protect their wives.

During the seventeen days of the best-selling Black Autumn series, eleven authors present eleven sojourns into mayhem as it captures once-comfortable Americans flat-footed and running for their lives.

The worn denim storylines of cowboy westerns and the steel and leather fantasy of apocalyptica cannot come close to this down-and-dirty vision of everyday men and women digging soul-deep while America burns.

by Boyd Craven III

$3.99

Wes and Raider have found themselves in the thick of things once again.

The KGR are hitting back relentlessly and, with Jessica’s group feared to be wiped out, the homestead falls into a quiet panic. Paranoia is running rampant, and rightly so: there’s a mole who has been working for Spider in their midst.

After learning more about how the KGR operate, and where some of their caches are, Wes’s group goes on the offensive. Everything changes with Jess’s revelation; they know they have to keep the pressure up to keep their freedom. Even with Spider’s taunting and the knowledge that he has more moles planted within Wes’s inner circle, the group pushes on. They are outmanned, outgunned, and running low on supplies.

It’s time for them to become even more unconventional.
Wes has to go back to his roots to come up with a plan to not only flush out the traitors, but to put a major hurt on their foes. The group has underestimated the ruthless nature of the KGR and is thinking they are finally getting ahead of their enemies, when Emily starts to unravel.

There’s hope, but will that dark hope be enough for everyone to still survive?
