“I have a couple of people to help with that. Good people from the CDC. What’s left of the CDC anyway. They’re coming out even as we speak and should arrive tomorrow.”
Cole didn’t see a downside. They did need a vaccine and with other’s guidance, they might be able to create one. He owed it to his family to try. He didn’t want Fox or Belle or any other children to have to face the same virus in the future.
He took Holland’s hand, clasping it firmly. “I’ll help.”
Acknowledgments
I’d like to thank my amazing beta readers, Vickie Boehnlein, Win Johnson, and Lala Price. I couldn’t have published this without them. They gave me valuable feedback on what worked and what didn’t work from a readers’ point of view.
Thanks also, to the Antioch Writer’s Group, where I’ve received lots of encouragement and critique.
And finally, my daughter, Maggie, who helped me brainstorm several aspects of this novel, and who, as a teen herself, and budding writer, gave me feedback to make sure the teens in this novel sound like actual teens.
Afterword

Mark Taylor: Genesis
(The Mark Taylor Series)
When Mark Taylor witnesses the drowning of a little girl whose death appeared to him in a photo taken the day before, he discovers that the camera he found in an Afghan bazaar has a strange and unique ability—it produces photographs of tragedies yet to happen.Tragedies that he is driven to prevent.
Wary of his new super-hero like power to change the future, Mark keeps the camera a secret--even when it means risking his own life. But with only 24 hours to act, what if he fails to prevent the greatest tragedy his country has ever experienced?
About the Author
M.P. McDonald is the author of supernatural thrillers and post-apocalyptic thrillers. With multiple stints on Amazon's top 100 list, her books have been well-received by readers. Always a fan of reluctant heroes, especially when there is a time travel or psychic twist, she fell in love with the television show Quantum Leap. Soon, she was reading and watching anything that had a similar concept. When that wasn't enough, she wrote her own stories with her unique spin.
If her writing takes your breath away, have no fear, as a respiratory therapist--she can give it back via a tube or two. She lives with her family in a frozen land full of ice, snow, and abominable snowmen.
On the days that she's not taking her car ice-skating, she sits huddled over a chilly computer, tapping out the story of a camera that can see the future. She hopes it can see summer approaching, too. If summer eventually arrives, she tries to get in a little fishing, swimming and biking between chapters.
M.P. McDonald loves hearing from readers, so feel free to drop me an email telling her your thoughts about the book or series.
