Hello!
I'm Mattie, Author of Veil of Ashes!
A new post-apocalyptic/dystopian novel! It also will have some elements of LGBTQ in the series and it has adventure and romance! (I don't skimp on the spice hahaha)
I really want to be able to continue writing this series for Jo, maybe write out some of my other book ideas as well, but I need some help getting there. Please subscribe and tag along on this new journey of mine! I hope to hear your thoughts about my book!

Here is a synopsis of my book 
The world didn’t end. It changed.Now the survivors must decide what’s worth saving.
In a world broken by war, nature has reclaimed the land—and survival is no longer just about staying alive. It’s about remembering who you are.
The United States is gone. Bombed, invaded, and fractured by civil war, the land is now a tangled patchwork of authoritarian Communities, rogue cartels, defiant Reservations, and overgrown ruins teeming with new life and old dangers. Poisonous air drifts from shattered volcanoes. Wolves howl from the rooftops of sunken cities. And in the shadows, those who refuse to belong to any faction carve their own paths—or die trying.
Jo is one of them.
Raised in a resistance stronghold and trained by warriors, smugglers, and scientists, Jo wears cloth to hide her identity, binds her chest, and moves through the world like a ghost. Haunted by captivity and loss, she doesn’t trust easily. But when she’s sent on a mission that will take her across the wilds of the Four Corners region—a landscape reborn in vines, rivers, and whispered power—she begins to uncover truths about the world, the war, and herself.
Along the way, Jo meets others who have learned to survive: moles who live beneath the earth, rebels rebuilding from ashes, and some who sees Jo for who she really is. Together, they must navigate treacherous terrain, fractured loyalties, and the heavy cost of freedom.
Because the world didn’t end.It evolved.And now it’s watching to see what rises from the ruins.
