Traveling to the center of the earth to retrieve her son from Center Land is intense enough without having to deal with Amazon rogue women, prehistoric animals, and... yes... the aliens and zombies that they thought they'd left on the surface are there too! Is there no escape from the horror? They have a plan to end the aliens and zombies once and for all... but... will it work? The answer is in "Center Land", book three of the apocalyptic romance-thriller series, Kendra's Journey.

Chapter Two

Although shocked by her statement, no one felt inclined to ask Olga to elaborate about what she meant when she said that she’d looked into the eyes of a dead man for a considerable period of time. They were hesitant to learn the truth about why a dead man would contact her.It was Ari who finally spoke up.“So, are you saying that if we keep going in this direction we are going to our death?” she hesitantly asked. “Should we turn around and go back?”“We’ve been walking this way for hours,” Felix said with desperation.  “Rex said that it’s starting to lighten up. I was hoping we’d soon be at the end of this darkness. Now, you want to turn back into it again?” “We can’t go back,” Olga muttered. “He said to come forward. We’re almost there.”“Where?” Kendra asked with concern. “We’re almost where?”

Chapter Three

“I don’t believe your friend is actually dead,” Rex said into the darkness. “How can that be?” Olga gasped.“My connection wasn’t really all that clear,” he admitted, “but, I got the distinct impression that he was alive and not a spirit.”“Do you think he was using telepathy too, then?” Ari asked.Rex nodded.  Then, realizing that no one could see his nod, he followed with,  “Yes.” “What makes you think that?” Felix asked as he stepped closer toward where he thought Rex to be.“It’s more of a gut feeling, than anything else,” Rex said. “I could be wrong since I’m not used to communicating like that, but I got the feeling that he was struggling to connect with me like a human would and not a spirit.”“I’m no expert on the dead,” Kendra said, “but I can’t

Chapter Four

Kendra, Rex, Felix, and Ari stayed a good distance behind Olga and Arthur to allow them as much privacy as possible under the circumstances.   Kendra smiled as she watched Olga slip her hand through the crook of her long lost lover’s arm as he led them out of the tunnel and through the cave.   She thought  the cave to be much smaller than the one that they passed through to begin their journey.   It was much brighter and had a nicer, friendlier feel to it.  She was surprised when Rex voiced just that. “That’s a funny thing to say,” Ari said with a tone that sounded hurt, or possibly even defensive. “No one is trying to insult you,” Felix hurriedly assured her. “Anyway, that place isn’t you.  It’s a village filled with people and rules that don’t jive with us.  Since that cave held the entry to their lands, it isn’t a surprise that we’d g

Chapter Five

They found Arthur’s little cottage to be well built and cozy with all of the basic amenities needed to live a fairly comfortable life.   The amenity that they most appreciated at that moment was the bathroom. Olga was the first to shower and change into the clean clothes that she’d stuffed into her backpack. After which, she joined Arthur in the kitchen to help create a much needed, hearty meal for the group that had lived on jerky and biscuits for several days.Once she was familiar with his kitchen, Olga suggested that she cook while her long lost lover took a little time to get to know her family.  He smiled, knowingly, and eagerly agreed.Since the little cottage had an open floor plan, Olga was able to watch their interaction even if she wasn’t always able to catch what was being said.  She even joined in on a few topics now and then.Not being one to talk around a subject, Kendra  -who was second to s

Chapter Six

Dinner talk was a continuation of questions that would help them understand where they were and what to expect while there.  Arthur expressed his desire for them to stay in Hopeville with him, but  Kendra and Rex were non-committal.  As was Ari.  Felix and Olga, on the other hand, were eager to settle in.Since they could come up with no other reason not to stay in Arthur’s village than the fact that they were eager to continue on to retrieve -and possibly rescue- Eugene from Center Land, they stayed silent and remained amiable while Olga and Felix peppered their host with questions about life there.When it came time to call it a night, they didn’t know if they were exhausted from their ordeal of trekking through the pitch black tunnel or from pummeling Arthur with a barrage of questions.   Since Arthur’s home provided only one bedroom and a pull out sofa in his little office, Kendra and Rex insisted that the newlyweds t

Chapter Seven

Olga stretched in a cat-like manner as she watched her long lost lover’s lean physique stride from the bed to the dresser.“You aren’t leaving this bed, are you?” she cooed as she shifted her slender body onto its side.  A teasing glint appeared in her eyes. “Are you seriously going to tell me that’s all you have to offer?”Arthur turned and gave her a sly, sensual smirk. His faded blue eyes twinkled with amusement as they took in every inch of her naked loveliness. It may have been close to two decades since he’d enjoyed her sweetness between the sheets, but she’d not changed one bit. Her breasts were still large and firm enough to hold steady against gravity’s constant tugging. Although she was noticeably thinner than before the war, her lean hips were still smooth and curvy; just as he’d remembered them.  Considering the hardships that she’d endured -along with the rest of mankind- her

Chapter Eight

It took less than an hour for Arthur to give them a tour of  the little village called Hopeville.  He was careful to explain where the village boundaries lay.  Although he didn’t give a reason sufficient enough to satisfy Kendra, he was adamant in his request that they remain within the boundaries of the village at all times.  If they did need to leave, he was insistent that they take one of the villagers with them.  Since she and Rex had already given him a decent display of their ability to take care of themselves in the event of a beastly encounter, Kendra suspected that there was more behind his request than the simple fear of extinct creature encounters.  She considered approaching him about it, but, then, thought better of it.  There would be a right time for all questions without pushing at the wrong time for them to be answered.When they were finally left to their own devices, the group split up.  Much to Felix’s pu

Chapter Nine

Tiny beads of sweat reflected the thin rays of light that danced off of Kendra’s naked flesh in an almost surreal fashion as she lay in her husband’s strong arms and looked up at the lacey canopy above them.  She knew that they were risking being caught by a passerby and should dress just in case, but the feel of the warm, clean air upon her moist flesh was like a silken caress.  It was almost as seductive as making love with Rex.  She wasn’t ready to give it up quite yet.“We’ve made love in the out of doors quite a lot,” she mused as  she nestled her cheek against his chest, “but it’s never felt like this.  The air is different here.”“It’s untainted,” Rex said. “You can feel the purity of it long before you breathe it in.”“It’s a bit heavier too, I think,”  Kendra offered.He knit his brows together in thought. “I b

Chapter Ten

The faint sound of a woman screaming filtered through the trees just as Felix and Ari were about to enter Arthur’s little cottage.  Felix’s heart skipped a beat as recognition hit him. “That’s Kendra!”“How do you know?” Ari asked with a scowl as she attempted to pull him through the door.  “It’s probably a wild animal that sounds human when it screeches.  Remember,  their different here.”“That was a human scream,” he protested.“What’s the matter?” Olga asked as she walked into the living room with the baby in her arms to find Felix resisting Ari’s attempts to pull him inside.“Kendra just screamed,” he said with urgency.“What?” Olga barked with concern as she moved closer to them. “How do you know? Where is she?”Ari glowered at Felix as she silently dared him to admit to his aunt that he
