Overview

Three months after the world has fallen, Texas belongs to the dead—and to the outlaws, gangs, and splinter factions fighting over what’s left. The Outpost is one of the last places still holding the line, hemmed in by the roaming infected—known as gnashers, depending on who you ask.

Nicky Benson learned to survive long before the fall. A fighter, a hunter, and her father’s daughter, she grew up tracking game through the Texas pines and standing her ground against anyone who tried to push her. Now she’s the Outpost’s sharpest weapon—fast, lethal, and impossible to catch off guard.

Everyone wants someone like her on their side.
Especially her ruthless uncle Mato, whose faction is rising in the ruins.

Everything changes the day Nicky crosses paths with Jess and Ben, firefighter siblings carving their way through the wreckage in search of somewhere safe. Jess is all teasing confidence, calling Nicky out on her staring and refusing to let her retreat. She’s also the last thing Nicky planned on letting into her already unstable world.

When a supply run to the city goes sideways, the Outpost’s leaders freeze—and Nicky refuses to. Her reckless choice pulls the guards into the wastes and nearly gets her killed. But it also becomes the only reason anyone makes it home alive.

In a world ruled by violence, hunger, and fractured loyalties, Nicky must decide whether to stay walled off—or risk everything for a woman who makes her feel alive again.

The Outpost Diaries is a gritty lesbian romance series set in the post-apocalyptic ruins of East Texas, where a magnetic, perilous connection forms amid the roaming dead and relentless danger. Contains explicit sexual content between women, strong language, graphic violence, gore, grief, injury, and horror elements. For mature readers only.
