Etiquette For An Apocalypse Anne Mendel

"Maybe this is just a bizarre dream, but I've been thinking I'm in a bad dream for three years and keep waking up to the end of the world."
--Sophie Cohen, wife, mother, social worker, political organizer,
neighborhood drug dealer, espionage master, and narrator-heroine of Etiquette for an Apocalypse

Portland, 2023. After three years of living through earthquakes, volcanoes, plagues, looting, violence, starvation, and death, Sophie Cohen has almost made peace with her new normal. Three years after the Yellowstone Caldera smothered the world in ash, but strangely spared the Northwest U.S., Sophie has gotten used to inch-long hair (for lice prevention), termite soup for dinner (despite nightly dreams of chocolate éclairs), teenagers who actually read (if they want entertainment), and neighbors who are actually neighborly (in order to survive). What will rock Sophie's world at the end of the world is discovering her own calling as a woman to be reckoned with—even though it takes being hit by a few earth-shattering surprises and hunted down by a power-crazed maniac.
In her gripping and funny (seriously) novel, ETIQUETTE FOR AN APOCALYPSE (May 2012; Brackets Press; $14.00; ISBN: 978-0-9848930-0-3), Anne Mendel draws readers into a world filled with dangers, disasters, and dysfunction. Told in Sophie's voice, with a keen sense of dark humor, it is a thrilling story of survival. In spite of all the hardships and horrors, it is also a story of hope; even in a world without fossil fuels or iPhones or chocolate éclairs can be.
