Frequently Asked Questions

 Blood Is Thicker is a character-driven EMP survival series set in Florida. It follows Joe Kelly and his family as they’re scattered across the state when the power goes out—and forced to make impossible choices to survive, reunite, and protect the people they love.

This isn’t about gear lists or perfect heroes. It’s about family, love, moral consequences, and what survival really costs.

 You have two good entry points:

• The Day Zero Files – six short stories set in the final days and hours before the blackout. They explain what really happened and why it matters. They’re free and not sold anywhere.
   → Access the Day Zero Files 

• Family Reunion (Book One) – the main series begins here, as Joe fights to bring his family back together across a collapsing Florida.
   → Start with Family Reunion 

If you like context and mystery, start with Day Zero.
If you like jumping straight into the story, start with Book One.

 Yes. Completely free.

They were written to explain what happened—not to be sold. They exist because the Kelly family never had access to these stories… and readers asked for answers.

 No—and that’s intentional.

There’s danger, violence, and hard realities, but the focus is always on people. If you’re looking for endless gear specs or invincible heroes, this may not be your series.

If you’re interested in flawed characters, emotional stakes, and the cost of protecting family, you’re in the right place.

 No. The Blood Is Thicker series is ongoing, with additional books in progress.

The world continues to expand as the scope grows—from survival, to power, to consequences far beyond the Kelly family.

 The events are fictional.
The emotions are not.

The series began with a real question: What if the power went out while my family was scattered across Florida?
Some character dynamics are inspired by real life. The situations are imagined—but the fear, love, and moral weight are real.

 Yes.

I’ll continue writing in the Blood Is Thicker world as long as these characters have stories to tell. And when they don’t, I’ll explore new characters, new worlds, and new questions—always grounded in people, relationships, and hard choices.
