Beyond Late-k
Sequel to Late-K Lunacy By Ted Bernard
In 2018, I was contacted by Ted Bernard to help produce a trailer for his book ‘Late-K Lunacy.’ This working relationship led to the cover, chapter, and map illustrations in 2022 of the sequel. ‘Beyond Late-K’ tells intermingling short stories about life after fallout in the Appalachian region.

In the not-too-distant future villagers forge their lives in the aftermath of the breakdown of civilization - including the loss of modern infrastructure and technology. These ten stories explore the legacy of Bernard's dystopian novel Late-K Lunacy, Late-K referring to late stage vulnerabilities of complex socio-ecological systems.
"Up and down the Ohio Valley people were struggling with post-apocalyptic circumstances as they tried to survive, and help their families and communities." -- Ted Bernard
The world has catapulted over the Late-K cliff and people regroup in a downsized world stripped of modernity yet brimming with possibility and hope.
